Course Curriculum Overview

CSE is the most demanded course in engineering right now. Hence seeing the demand it was simple to choose. The faculty is good. The only problem you will have in the classroom is your attendance The college is very strict regarding attendance. NIT Rourkela has an 85% attendance criteria. Which is highest in India. At the start of the first year, you will be divided into two groups having different semesters. In the first semester half will have the Electrical sem and another half will have the Electronics sem. In the 2nd semester, the courses will be interchanged. Electronics sem is easier compared to electrical sem. But Electrical sem has more lab courses compared to electronics sem making it easier to improve the score. hence creating a Ballance between the two courses.

Placement Experience:

I would rate the placements at my college as 3 out of 5. Students usually become eligible for campus placements from the sixth or seventh semester, and a few well-known companies do visit the campus every year. The placement cell helps with basic training like resume building and interviews, and many students, especially from IT branches, manage to secure jobs. At the same time, the average salary packages are not very high and top roles are limited, so a lot of students also focus on skill development, off-campus opportunities or higher studies after completing their degree

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for placement from their 3rd year onwards. It has been only 2-3 months but I have seen several companies arriving at the college, prominent ones being Flipkar,Deloitte, Xerox, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Microsoft, Dell and several others including startups. There is no accurate data on how many offers have been made this year, but there are rumours that more than 95% of the eligible students have got placements. After getting a degree my plans are if I dont land into a satisfying job then I will start my preparation of the military or start a new business.
