NIT Rourkela- where dreams come true

The course which I have opted for is Mining Engineering and is highly relevant to industrial needs, the theories are not outdated and lans are interesting. There is some scope of improvement too, which includes taking the students out with faculty for an industrial visit , I mean every student , atleast twice in a year compulsorily so that , students can relate to what they are learning

NIT Rourkela offers a variety of inernship oppertunities for students across multiple disciplines, which may include Software internships, Analytics inernships and other Core discipline internships and also Research Internships.

Students ecome eligible for campus placements from 7th semester onwards. Avarage package is upto 12 to 13 lakhs per annum and highest can go upto 78 lakhs in campus placements. I plan to get my placement in a major core sector through campus placements.

The fee structure includes tution fees and hostel and mess fees separately. I personally being from General category , there is no discount in my tution fees which is upto 725,000. Another fee payment includes hostel and mess fees which ranges from 20000 to 22000. .This fee over here is for one semester of general category whose parents income is more than 5 lakhs per annum. Yearly twice the fees are collected, once for each semester (Autumn and Spring Semester). So in general category whose parents income is more than 5 lakhs have to pay , approximately Rs. 100000, each semester i.e. per year upto Rs. 200000 . A friend of mine who is in SC category and has parents income less than 500000, has to pay nearly 20000, each semester as there is total exemption in tution fees.

The college conducts major fests like Cosmopolitan ( The Multi Ethnic Fest) in the month of October, Innovision (The Tech fest) in the month of November , Nitrutsav in the month of february and ROOTS in the month September. A wide and diverse number of books are available in library. Vridhhi is the Games and Sports Fest conducted in our Institute. There are many number of clubs in NIT Rourkela, the number is huge.

In boys Hostel upto 2 people do accomodate in a room while in girls hostel upto 4 girls do accomodate in aroom. The hostesl are affordable and the mess is hygenic and good in quality. The menu is diverse with lot many options every day. Sometimes there is power cut during exam days, which are frequent in nature and are annoying.

NIT Rourkela is the most renowned and prestigeous engineering college in Odisha, having far more reputation as well as NIRF rankings than most of the new IITs and NITs. I also applied for good IITs , based on my JEE Advanced rank but didn't get into any top IIT because of less rank. So instead of selecting of any new IIT , I selected NIT Rourkela , for its campus exposure and other perks. One can getv into NIT Rourkela through JEE Mains Examination and selected by JOSSA and CSAB rounds. Foreign students also get admission through DASA and other scholarships.

The college has a faculty ration upto 1:10 . The faculties are very nice and supportive and are very much punctual to their ciriculum. Prof.Indrajit Sarkar and Hrishikesh Nayak are some of my favourite faculty members , I feel them to be very supportive and very friendly to their students , with no harsh marking scheme in exam and others. Yet there are still some faculty members who just want their ego to be satisfied and do not think about the welfare of the students. Two examinations are conducted every semester which includes mid semester and end semester , the exams are kind of moderate to hard sometimes, sometimes may also surprise the students while some papers are easy.

There is gym in every hostel, every hostel has day and night canteens and number of resturants and shops inside the campus. There is no sch restriction in timings, and the entrance is biometric . Yes the locality is safe to roam at night but not the Jagda side.
