Jeypore: between the Sabari and the Deomali
The campus sits at coordinates 18.86° N, 82.57° E, on a plateau of 850 metres above sea level. The forested ridges of Deomali, the highest peak in Odisha at 1,672 metres, look down on the campus from the south-east. The Sabari river, tributary of the Godavari, runs to the west; the Kolab dam holds back its lower tributary fifteen kilometres to the north.
The town of Jeypore was the seat of the Jeypore Estate, ruled by the Bhanj-Deo dynasty until the merger with Odisha in 1949. The campus stands on the same twenty-five-acre tract on which the founding Maharaja established Jeypore College in July 1947.
