What Students Say

Likes

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

Campus and it's infrastructure, my department labs, library, sports facilities and especially the club culture is vast here.
4 restaurants inside campus from low cost to high. 4-5 canteens, each hostel has it's own canteen.
I'm a NCC Cadet and till now I've enjoyed the experience.

Dislikes

Extreme temperatures. Be it summer, winter or monsoon. All are extreme.
Hostel food quality is not good due to which many students skip most of meals even if they pay for it.
Fees is not affordable for many students.

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

Students from third year can sit for internship placement. In our branch, no core companies visit, so students mostly opt for non-core placements like data analytics or coding and other students opt higher studies. I'm also planning to go for higher education abroad.

Infrastructure, placements, Hostel, Free Wi-Fi, sports
Various clubs are there you can express your self.
The teacher student coordination is awesome.

Dislikes

Hostel food, 85% attendance, 8-5.15 class

Placement Experience:

Normally the final year students get placements. If there's no on-campus placement then there will be some off-campus placements you can prove your skills to them and can get the job. If you ask me my primary goal is ONGC.

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.
