Vir Surendra Sai University of Technology, Burla
Regarding the "ad-like" copy on this page, I cite the following phrases as being very advertising like and not neutral:


 * "pioneering in every aspect of education"
 * "stands in the elite league of premiere engineering colleges of the country"
 * "Imparting flawless education to its students with the perfect blend of knowledge and values, this college creates not only leading engineers but also responsible citizens"
 * "with utmost pride and honour"
 * "best technical facilities of that time and it still continues that heritage"
 * "legacy of excellence"

I could go on and on. These are not neutral phrases one uses when describing a university -- they are peacock terms one uses when trying to promote the entity. That is the definition of advertising. As a major contributor to the article, I would invite you to help make a more neutral article. If you choose not to do so, then the work will be done by others.

 * As a postscript, let me say that the external links do NOT verify that the university has such pre-eminence. They only verify that it exists.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
