Genuine College Review of NIT Rourkela

The course curriculum is pretty balanced. They also teach us core electives and also general electives like Business research methodology, social movement in india, economics etc. They also teach us subjects that are not related to our department but which are helpful for placements. The labs are of 3 hour duration each which I feel is a bit tiring and we had to stand the whole time. The timings of classes and labs are mostly 8 - 5 in which we have a 1 hour gap for lunch and a one hour gap in between for 5 days a week. The attendance criterion is >85% which is way too high. The mid exams are of 2 hours duration and end semester exams are 3 hours long.

Many companies visited for internships like Texas, Qualcomm, VISA, Barclays and many more with a very high stipend of around 60k per month. we also get 6 month internships now with a following FTE or PPO offers. Mostly the companies are here for SDE, core and Data analyst/Scientist roles.

Students are eligible for internships from their pre-final year. The placement scenario here is good, around 900 among 1100 students are already placed which is around 80% till now and many will get placed in due time. From what I have seen the average package is around 10 LPA which is considered decent. we get companies seeking job roles of core, SDE, Data analyst and data scientist more. My plans after getting the degree is to get into a good company.

They also get scholarships like NSP of around 20k to 40k varying some times.

We have 4 fest per year- 1.Cosmo-the ethnic fest of NITR held in october 2.Innovision-the technical fest held in january 3.vriddhi- the sports fest held in january 4.NITRutsav- the cultutral fest held in Febraury The library has a vast range of books and journals regarding subjects and also general knowledge. The campus encourages all kinds of sports including cricket, Volleyball, Football, table tennis, lawn tennis, kho kho and many more games. we have institute teams for all these sports. they also teake institute teams to participate in atleast 2 fests of other colleges and Inter NIT competitions. There are a lot of clubs which ar estudent-lead, the club culture here is amazing. we have so many meetings and events planned to do in the fests and take part in fests of other colleges too representing our college.

The hostel facility is also good here, the rooms are spacious, hostels are huge. every hostel has a canteen and a gym. tehy also have common rooms for studying and general activities. we get hot water 24/7 but in some hostels there is water and electricity problem. there is afrequent power cut during examniation time. The mess food is too bad. The menu is good but the taste is worst except for the breakfast and the mess fee is also high.

I also applied for NIT warangal, Surathkal, Trichy and BITS Pilani, Hyderabad and Goa. But I couldn't get into a circuital branch in any of them so I decided to join NIT Rourkela since it's the top 3 among NIT's. The placement scenario is also good with an average package above 10 LPA. The admission process is smooth, i counselled through Josaa after completing JEE Mains. There are also many foreign students, the most preferred exam bu students to get into it is JEE Mains.

The faculty here is very good. they have a good knowledge in their respective fields and they are also very approachable, we also get their mail ids and mobile numbers for contacting. But the faculty here is too strict and the courses are very tough, We have mid semester exams and end semester exams in a semester with around 4 subjects in a semester along with 3-4 labs. The difficulty of the exams is based on the professor, many students fail the exam which i clearly saw but I feel that is due to their negligence not the subject difficulty. The course curriculum is very relevant. I dont like to reveal the names of the faculty that I like or dislike but I can tell you about them. One professor always helps us with any difficulties we have and guides us well.

The nightlife here is amazing, we have many cafes and restaurants like Domino's, Keventers, calorie, Hexagin and many more hangout spots for students. There is campus timings we can come and go out anytime we want, but biometric is there and the timings are recorded and sent our parents through sms . for hostel timings, girls have 12 am and later late entry will be wirtten.
