What Students Say
Likes
- The campus is really big and beautiful. It is lovely cycling around. The lecturers and the subjects are really good. Our exams are application based, not rote learning.
- The people here are very friendly, they would go out of their way to help a stranger. I have never had any bad experience with a local.
- The diversity among the students is booming. The people in NIT Rourkela are from all across India. It helps understand other's culture and values.
Dislikes
- The campus may seem a little too big at times. Have to cycle just to reach basics necessities like the dispensary.
- The ambulance driver is extremely non-serious. He rejects emergency calls whenever he is eating. And there is only one ambulance in the whole campus.
- The girl to boy ratio is harsh. The ratio is about 1/5
Course Curriculum Overview
My course is artificial intelligence, which is a booming branch in today's time. As the days pass by, the need for artificial intelligence grows exponentially. It is very relevant and has many output job opportunities after college. This branch has been introduced in NIT Rourkela for the first time this year.
Fees and Financial Aid
I have to pay a yearly fee of 1 lakh 60 thousand rupees. It is a semester wise payment. After each semester, we get an online payment option, asking us to pay half the yearly fees. The other students have to pay the same amount, except the PWD candidates, who have to pay less, and the foreign students, who have to pay more
Campus Life
The campus life is everything you dream about as a kid. The fun hostel experiences, the wide, green campus, the social and technical clubs, all make the campus life way better. The club inductions have been halted for the first year students, in order to avoid any ragging. I am looking forward to taking part in these clubs after my first semester.
Admission
NIT Rourkela is one of the most prestigious colleges in the country of India. Getting admission into any NIT in itself is a big deal, if not getting admission in the third best NIT, which is Rourkela. The admission process was simple, and easy to follow. I faced no difficulties during the procedure.
Faculty
The faculty member are really nice, very helpful. Whatever the problem is, they will help you no matter what. There are two exams in a semester. The mid-semester exams are worth 30 marks. The end-semester exams are worth 50 marks. The rest of the 20 are based on your class tests, called teacher's assessment test.
