Remarks
This is the best Technical Institute in Odisha and one of the best ( Rank 2 ) amongst all NITs in India. Architecture was my dream course and as per my rank, i have selected in round 3 of admission process in NIT ROURKELA. The best thing of my campus in the Greenery and Studious Environment. The students have full freedom inside the campus with total security.
Course Curriculum Overview
Our course of Architecture is decided by Council of Architecture Delhi, so its similar to all colleges in India. But NIT ROURKELA had few guidlines and extra subjects as Open Elective, Physical Education, NCC, NSS which also affects the grades. The academic procedure of NIT Rourkela is pretty rough and tight for the Architecture students as it starts from 8.00 am and ends at 6:15pm. In other colleges of Architecture it is mostly starts around 10am and finishes around 4pm. But students get habituated with the curriculum by the time. The study and examination procedures are really of high standards.
Internships Opportunities
Yes, its a 6 month internship in Arcon Design Consultancy, Kolkata. It was a mandatory internship for us. We have to apply for different companies of our choices by sending Architectural Portfolios to them via mail. Stipend was INR 7000 per month.
Placement Experience
B.Arch course doesn't have any placements as this is not a format in which architects are selected. But some construction companies comes and take some students. In specific only one company. But its not a core company for us. But the placement process for the Btech student is excellent in our college
