Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I didn't choose this course due to my interest. It was completely based on my rank in JEE Mains. Faculty to student ratio is moderate so that you can manage your studies by clarifying your doubts as they will be available to you every time.

Class Size: 85Course Fees: INR 150000 per year

Internships Opportunities

2.5

Most software companies do participate in the placement committee and provide many jobs offers to many students based on their skills. Many internships were also allotted to the students by their respective training committees in the 3rd year of their graduation.

Placement Experience

Placements generally do occur in the 7th semester and as you can see in the previous year's trends, we can conclude that there is a high chance of getting placed once you enter this campus and all you need for better placement is the relevant skills.

Fees and Financial Aid

The cost of the study is a bit low compared to the other top private universities and many students get scholarships also. The financial assistance is all about the internships and the future guidelines which are provided by our experienced professors.

Campus Life

There are mainly three fests in the NIT Rourkela so that you can improve your skill in your particular area of interest. A library is a place where you get all the books related to your studies and you can also find some story books. Different games are played on campus.

Admission

The admission process was quite easy and the josaa helpdesk also helped me with the admission process. As I am from the general category I don't avail of any reservation benefits. I found the application form and fees on the main website of NIT Rourkela.

Siksha 'O' Anusandhan

Course Curriculum Overview:

1. Relevance & Comprehensiveness (Rating: 7/10) The course curriculum at SOA is updated frequently compared to state government colleges. Why I chose this: I was attracted to the fact that the syllabus includes modern electives like Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, and Data Analytics starting from the 3rd year itself, rather than waiting for the final semester. Real-world Prep: The curriculum is designed largely to crack placement interviews. There is a heavy focus on Aptitude and Core Coding subjects (DS/Algo) which helps in getting a job. However, for deep research or R&D roles, the theoretical depth is sometimes lacking. 2. Areas for Improvement Teaching Methods: A major issue is the reliance on PowerPoint Presentations (PPTs). Many faculty members just read off the slides. I would prefer more "Whiteboard Teaching" for mathematical and logic-based subjects. Lab Records: We spend hours handwriting practical records/files which are just copied from the manual. This is a waste of time. This time should be used for live coding projects or hackathons. Outdated Subjects: First-year students (even in CS/IT) are forced to learn heavy mechanical/civil concepts. While basics are good, the depth of these non-core subjects should be reduced. 3. Exam System & Difficulty Frequency: It is quite hectic. We have 2 semesters a year. Each semester has 2 Internal Assessments (Quizzes/Mid-sems) and 1 End-Semester Exam. Basically, you have an exam every 1.5 to 2 months. Difficulty: The exams are Easy to Moderate. It is not very difficult to pass. If you study the "Class Notes" and "Previous Year Questions" for 3-4 days before the exam, you can easily score an 8.0 SGPA. The checking is lenient for passing, but strict if you are aiming for a 9.5+ SGPA.

Placement Experience:

I actually have a very little idea about placements of our uni few seniors says there is not a single company visiting, while few were discussing the highest placement which was something like 20lpa or something,i think companies do visit our campus it may not be much but i have definetly seen one or two companies visiting. I plan to do MBA after my Btech so i am not that serious about whether i am getting placed or not.

Value For money college

Course Curriculum Overview:

I mainly chose this course because the college is Autonomous, which allows them to update the syllabus faster than standard university colleges; seeing subjects like Python and Data Science in the early semesters really influenced my decision. The curriculum is decent for getting placed in service-based companies like TCS or Wipro since they focus heavily on the basics and aptitude, though for high-end product roles or research, you have to put in extra effort yourself. I definitely think they need to reduce the theory load and focus more on practical coding because sometimes it feels like we are just writing assignments instead of building things. Also, the junior faculty rely too much on reading from slides, which really needs to change to make classes more engaging. As for exams, it feels like we are always writing them since we have two internals and one end-semester exam per term. They are moderately difficult and the checking is strict, so you can't slack off, but the tight schedule can get quite exhausting.
