Review of National Institute of Technology Rourkela

The NIT Rourkela is one of the premier institute of national importance in the country. It produces good number of engineers and researchers. The placement is very nice. The institute, overall, is a good place to learn.

The Course Curriculum for Integrated Masters can be upgraded. It needs improvisations. In one semester, one has to give 2 exams for each course taken. One is mid-semester exam and other is end-semester exam which are of 30 and 50 marks respectively and another 20 marks completely lies in professor's hands which he/she gives on the basis of behaviour and conduct in class.

The placements and job opportunities are very nice. It's better than other NITs. Yes, our Institute provide internship but only to the students of other universities or colleges. One cannot do an official internship in NIT Rourkela if he/she is a student there.

Innovision(Tech Fest) Vriddhi( Sports Fest) NITRutsav(Spring Fest) Cosmopolitan Fest All of the above mentioned fests are organised by Student Activity Centre of NIT Rourkela and all these fests are at par with the fests of IITs.

Yes the fee structure is feasible. The fee structure consists of Tuition fees, Hostel fees, Mess Charges, SAC fees, Medical Fees and miscellaneous. So, for the Integrated Masters students the fee is about ?41250 per semester.

There is an NITR Alumni Association which provides Scholarship to the students on the basis of merit and that's very helpful in student's life. As such there is no other scholarship that I know. So yes, Alumni Endowment Scholarship is helpful to students who have necessity of scholarship.

The extracurricular life of NITR is way too good. One can excel in any interest they pursue. There is swimming pool, Cricket Stadium, Athletic Stadium, Central Gym, Student Activity Centre, Many Student based Clubs for gathering of same interests students.

Yes, the hostel facility is very nice. The vibe of the hostel is good. Hostel is well equipped with gym, sports centre and canteens. The hostel rooms size is good enough and cleanliness is the plus point.

Yes, the Alumni Association is very helpful here. They provide scholarship for the needy students. They provide funds for the extracurricular clubs. They also conduct seminars, assessments and talks for the students to provide an exposure of the Job sector, research sector or higher studies.

JEE Mains Entrance Exam is conducted. If one secures a good rank he/she can apply through JOSAA. There are few rounds of Counselling at nearest NITs where one can fix his chosen branch and during the admission date the students can get admission letter and join the institute.

I have a mixed review on the quality of faculty here. It's like someone who is good at teaching is not having much research profile and someone who is bad at teaching is with a good research profile in general.
