Testing is the most useful tool to measure properties of engineering materials and assure the quality of the materials for construction. The Material Testing Center (MTC) located inside the College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (CAET) of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar, offers structural and material testing services to public/private institutions. The testing center addresses the need for quality engineering materials for construction, research and development in the area of agriculture and civil engineering.

The Material Testing center consists of 3 laboratories for testing such as structure laboratory, soil mechanics laboratory and UTM laboratory. The center is well equipped with UTM, CTM, Drying shrinkage, restrained shrinkage, Triaxial, Direct shear, Compaction etc. The testing fees for the following tests are approved by the University for the year 2015-16.

Testing charges should be deposited in shape of Demand Draft made in any Nationalised Bank in favour of "Comptroller, OUAT, Bhubaneswar" payable at SBI, Bhubaneswar
