It offers a great placement after the course completion, companies like microsoft, amazon google, flipkart and other companies like goldman sachs come to recruit new freshers in their companies and even offer internships as well.
The fests conducted in our college are worth enjoying and marvelous talent is encouraged.
No fees hike policy.cost to study is a bit high for a government organisation but it's worth it.scholarship opportunities financial assistance and job opportunities are very satisfactory over here.

Dislikes

The scholarship availability should not be below 5 lakh.. it should be a larger number beacuse 5 lakh income is lower income than a lower middle class family.
The faculty advisor is a very rude and strict person who doesn't understand the student's problems.
Placements for lower branches are not that good and being a remote area more companies are not coming to college

Insights, intents and incentives

Likes

I like the sheer number of clubs open to students to explore and develop in. This includes all kinds of fields of interests and is extremely encouraging.
The campus is well maintained in terms of greenery and cleanliness and is an eyecandy overall.
The library of the campus is superbly diverse and provides proper catalogued management of the books it contains.

Dislikes

I structural arrangement of the campus is poor and thus requires unnecessary traversal throughout the day for all students.
The grading system of the college is quite strict, comparing to other colleges. There are distinctions between different courses as well.
Internships provided are quite low in number.

Placement Experience:

After 6th semester, students are able to sit for placements. There are about 1500 jobs offered every year and average package for electrical core is 140000 INR. Highest among all branches reaches 1 crore Or 2 every year. Nearly all students get placed. My plans after b tech is working for a couple of years and masters in areas of electronics and robotics.

Hostel facilities. Any problem in the hostel gets fixed within no time

Dislikes

Mess food. It's not very hygienic. Sometimes some people get insects (very rare)
Attendance criteria. We need 85% attendance. It's very strict

A friend at NIT Rourkela gave me a detailed review of her college the last time she visited me. Here are some highlights from her descriptive experience

NIT Rourkela has a huge, serene, and well-secured campus.
The institute has diverse clubs that promote extracurricular activities and their performance is better than most clubs of other engineering colleges.
Decent Internet speed is offered and the Dc++ is well maintained.
The hostels are well-maintained and decked with all the basic amenities one could ask for.
Students are actively involved in sports such as gymming and swimming.
The faculties are a mixed bag. Some are underqualified and lethargic while some motivate you to become a better person.
The institute boasts of an extensive entrepreneurship culture.
The institute needs to work on increasing its alumni base and the level of fests it organizes given the huge income the institute generates.
The placement scenario varies from branch to branch. It's decent for branches like CS while pathetic for others.
Rourkela does not have any places to explore and also lacks flight connectivity.
The city of Rourkela is one of the cleanest places so hygiene is not an issue here.
