Course Curriculum Overview
Curricullum is similar to as any national college in India.Joined this because it is an institution of national importance and i was getting through my rank. In 1st year,the curricullum is trivial for future studies. It is not the fault of this college rather it is the engineering syllabus in all certified colleges in India.But, NIT RKL is known for its core branches like mechanical,electrical for core placements.So i think it prepares us for real time applications. The couse can be made more interesting if the professors have a real time interactive teaching methods.The course should include real life industry experience and understandable teaching methods. Exams are conducted in the form of 1 midsem and 1 endsem in a semester. In a year, there are 2 semesters:Autumn and Spring namely. Exams are of average difficulty level. One can ace it with sincere and discipline self study and by listening attentively what is taught in the class.

My plan is to take an incamous placement.

Meal quality is good.Nonveg is served 5-6 days a week.Vegetarians may not like the menu because of excessive paneer related dishes. Registration process is very simple.Just fill a form of your respective hostel and verify your crediantials thats it. no not rented any room.
Admission
One needs to clear Jee mains with min. 94-95 percentile in general category for getting into NIT Rourkela. You can get the application form, fees and other data related to application and admission in NIT RKL and JOSAA websites. No reservation availed. Jee mains is conducted twice a year. Difficulty level is medium to hard. During admission process, online process was smooth but in offline process, NIT RkL had poor facilities for occupying thousands of parents and students at a time. Although, they had conducted admissions partly in different dates for different branches but still,onboarding process was hectic for both students and parents.
Other Applied Colleges
KIIT School of Computer Engineering - [KSCE] | Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering)
KIIT is a private college having very low ROI. So didn't opt it. As, i was getting NIT RKL that was also a reason for not opting
