Achieve your dreams at NIT ROURKELA

The course is partially up to date to meet the industry standards and the syllabus is being currently worked upon to ensure that it meets the industry standards. But the bad part is the course puts much pressure as compared to other branches of this institute so everyone has to work hard to meet their academic career goals and to increase their overall skills. The teacher here focuses mainly on finishing the syllabus before the exam and not the overall development of the child. Research is highly encouraged in this college and professors are helpful in that. Course is not up to date for placements so students need to study on their own for placements. Every Semester we have one midsem and one endsem exam but there are a lot of class tests that overall contribute to the preparation of the student for the exams.

Various Research Internships as well as Industry Internship opportunities are offered to the students at the end of their 6th Semester and begin from the 5th Semester. Barclays and Hotstar offer a 1LPM stipend. Various other companies like Microsoft, PhonePE, Fractal, American Express, Oracle, Mathworks,BNY Mellon, Wells Fargo, etc visit and offer internship oppurtunity to the students.

OnCampus Placement of students is carried out by the Career Development Center of NIT Rourkela. Placements depend on the industry needs and most students are placed in software-based or Analytics and Consultancy Companies. There are a few good opportunities for students applying to Core Companies but they need a good CGPA and sometimes a GATE score to get placed in PSUs.According to last year's placement record, 8 students were offered 52.08 LPA by Amazon Web Service and this was the highest package. The average package is 11.5 LPA for the college and 24 LPA for CSE Department Students. 98% of placement records are in CSE Department

Tuition fee remains the same and a lot of scholarships are there to take care of the needs of the students regarding the tuition fees and but fees like mess, environment, and hostel fees increase and that depends on the external factors and there are no scholarships for that but for local people, they can live in their home which neglects their hostel and mess fees. The complete cost for my 4-year course with all expenditures may cross 10 lacs.
