Pranay Anand's Review On National Institute Of Technology - [NIT], Rourkela

Dasa admissions were based on a preference order, mostly cause of the huge green campus and while I was joining my institute was ranked 2nd in all Nits and top 20 overall in India. Also the college had a very high placement percentage for my branch atleast. Plus my admission was based on Sat scores so the top colleges get filled first if scores clash they select it based on age

The curriculum is very hard, its not to scare anyone but studying in iits or nits is a tough time. U have got to have good time management between your academics and extra circulars because these are some of the best institutes in India and they arent going to go easy on you. The more they rub you the better you become and the more fame they get. Faculties are like every other college, we can't depend completely on them, every college you go you have to work hard on your own faculties will just help you out the lectures are there but dont expect that you will learn everything from their lecture its just there to give you some basic insight, especially for CSE the exam paper is fully conceptual based and maybe only 10% will come directly from lectues, remaining part you have to know how to apply the concepts.

Placement cell works well in our college a lot of companies come to our college mainly because first off its an Nit and second it is very highly ranked. A variety of companies come and many famous ones also come to our college these details can easily be checked online and most of the students in CSE get placed the rate is above 97% which is pretty good, there is a place inside our college to present our ideas for startups so that it becomes an incubation. Apart from that if you just work hard, get a good cgpa enough to at least sit for the interview and have good knowledge fo the subjects you will get a good job.

The fest life in my college is really amazing. We have two major events Innovison which is a tech fest and every club participating puts something related its doesnt really have to be tech. It starts normally on a Friday and ends on a sunday night with a Dj performing on the Saturday and Sunday. This is normally in the autumn semester. The spring semester also has one fest and it os for all the fun events nothing tech related for eg. there is a fashion show at night and a lot of events go on throughout the day, the last day also ends on a Dj night many studentd from 2nd year onwards participate in organising the fest and it turns out to be a wonderful weekend

I think every government college in India is inferior in infrastructure compared to private colleges. There is no wifi in hostels for our institute atleast. They provide you lan the internet speed isnt that fast but everyone uses DC++ to download their movies its extremely fast for movies and tv series and you can download up to 1 Gb in like 30 sec. Library is pretty good they have all types of books you will need sports facilities are also good we have a basketball, football, cricket ground. Football gorund doesnt have grass but the ground is proper with just sand though. The lab equipment is not that good although i cant say much as I have used only in 1st year. From 2nd year onwards i only have computer lab and there is no equipment which you need to work on. Hostels depends on which you get some have big rooms some have half the size of the other hostel room it really isnt fair but we cant do anything about it.

The hostel really depends on which hostel you get some have extremely big rooms and som have very small rooms in fact even half of the rooms which I said before. Everyone who applies for B. Tech will get a hostel room no doubt about that although no matter which hostel you get you will have to share for the 1st 2 years and last 2 yrs you will gey single rooms but there is talks that will change from this year onwards and that every hosteler has to share till 4th year. Anyways hostel life is amazing the room might be horrible but the fun part is hanging out with your friends going to canteen 2am in the morning amd eating and much more. The bathrooms are sharing means every corridor has one which means around 10 rooms share it i.e 20 people approx share 4 bathrooms you can go to any corridor you want there is no restrictions on that the heaters dont work everywhere but that is expected after all it might take some time adjusting to hostel life it will be amazing although their infrastructure is not that good.
