What Students Say
Likes
- The lush green campus is too soothing to live in. Hostels are very huge and the mess food is far better than any college in Odisha . For pure vegetarians there is a whole separate mess without onion and garlic.only two student live in a single room.
- Academics is good and manageable . Weekly classes are of very short duration and less classes on a day to have a lot of extra time . Teachers are not that strict or difficult to deal . Academic pressure is low compared to IITs and IITs.
- There's a board called SAC(Student Activity Centre) for all kind of sports and extra curriculars. There are every type of club according to your interest. From art to business, from robotics to craft , from cricket kho kho . One fest each month 🎉
Dislikes
- The badminton courts in every hostel is made outdoor . The room is a little short for two people (but quite adjustable) . The hostel mess quality degrades as you move to another sem. For 1st yr boarders rules are strict. No electric appliances allowe
- NIT Rourkela sem exams are too stressful to deal with Very strict and very difficult to make youmself able to escape a back .
- There is a shortage of cricket field and football fields and also no mat for kabaddi . In most of the clubs they don't teach you much they just expect you to learn yourself and work in the club. The snacks and drinks items are expensive inside campus
Course Curriculum Overview
The courses are still outdated and much theoretical that practical implimentations for an engineer. But they are adding new technology courses like Ai/ML and data science to improvise the curriculum. Also adding value courses to provide student ethical learnings. There is also facility of minor courses . Where you can avail the access off other course other than what you've opted.but acc to seniors minor courses are not that much benifitial but just increase the academic pressure.
Placement Experience
I am a first year so don't know much about placements an internships. Avegmrage package is - 10-12 lakhs Median package - 8-9 lakhs Highest domestic package - 52 lakhs Highest international package - 1.2 crore The average placement percentage of all branches are more than 90 always. Even some branches like mining and ceramic have 100% placements. After the 6th semester students are eligible for campus placements and after 4th sem students are eligible for internships. I have just gave the fivestar but I am a first year student remember.

Campus Life
There are total of 6 fests along with the annual sports fest . Innovision - tech fest of NITR (held in November) Cosmopolitan - ethinic fest of NITR (held in October ) Nitrutsav - Cultural fest of NITR ( held in January) Celebrity night - India's most afmed singers are invited to perform (held in March) Vridhi - sports fest of NITR ( held in January) NES - Entrepreneurship summit of NITR (held in February) NITR has the second largest engineering library In all over Asia . For engineering students this library is like a treasure. Also different type of self help , fiction , literature and business books are available. But it's not well collected as engineering books. Every classroom has samart board facility and also has network jammers to avoid use of phone. Projectors and speakers are loud enough .But there is little bit problem of Central AC service. Every lab has sufficient equipments according to the need . Every computer and technical labs have well maintained with safetyprocedures and power supply. The college has very well sports facilities. No need to worry . Just a little problem of cricket ground and football ground shortage. Except ground the equipments are not provided by the college , you have to avail thm yourself.onky for TT you will be provided with the rackets. There are every type of club you want and those are too engaging that you feel difficult to manage those more over the academic pressure. You can have glimpse of them by just searching on YT "all clubs of NITR"
Hostel Facilities
In room tou are provided with two beds on table with a drawer attached, a fan , a shelf of 4 blocks and also some additional space for your bagpacks and clothes. Also you get a lan port for internet access.( speed is too good) For the cleaning of room once in a week workers come and clean it. You get washing machine for the clothes ( one for 64 students) The bathrooms and toilets are cleaned regularly and also there's the geasire fascility. You can have cooler in your room or can but table fan. The hostel food is totally different from the traditional rumours. The items given according to the menu may lack some quantity satisfaction but always live upto the quality compared to other colleges. The quality degrades with passing time but still adjustable. .for menu you can check on YouTube, always keep changing. You are alloted to the hostel as soon aa your physical reporting completed. All first years reside in a single hostel known as VS hall. And hostel fees according to the facilities is very cheap.
Admission
I haven't applied to any other colleges as this was the nearest from my home and also the best in Odisha in aspect of engineering ( I said best in the sense that it's most affordable for engineering with good placement status and industrial exposure. There may be other colleges in Odisha with higher NIRF ranking ) The process for admission is simple. You have to appear JEE mains examination (you can see the details of examination on YouTube) Then have to secure a rank below 50000 to get into a good branch. Then you have to pay a total of 74000 irrespective of category before physical admission in college. Then you will get your seat allotment letter for the college , then you will be admitted to college and the physical admission process will be smooth I assure.
Faculty
In first year every student irrespective of the branch taught the same type of courses . In first year you have arround 8 courses each semester 5-6 theories and 2-3 labs. With promoting to next sems the course load reduces. Each course is give a credit number which decides the toughness , length and importance of the course , for example a 3 credit course is more lengthy , tough and requires more number of classes than a 2 credit course. In most of the courses it's easy to get marks by just solving the previous year questions . But in some courses it's difficult to to get marks easily as faculties are too chad in making the questions. But I assure you that as a ranker in JEE you can handle this academic load easily. In a semester you have two exams . One is done after the half syllabus completion known as midsem(30 marks) and another is final exam endsem (50 marks) rest 20 marks out of hundred is given by the course teacher according to the student's class performance ( most of time to save time they take a class test of 20 to avoid all mess). Additionally irrespective of syllabus always follow what the teacher has taught in class (expect engeneering mechanics and Basic electrical engineering) The CGPA system is simple CGPA = [sumession of (subject grade × credit of the subject ) ] / sumession of all credits of each subject. Grade system 40-50 - P 50-60 - D 60-70 - C 70-80 - B 80-90 - A 90-100 - Ex Also the attendence is very strict. More than 6 absenta in a single course will less you a grade in that subject.
Night Life
In night it's thrillful to ride a bicycle in a 650 accre campus. Every hostel and also chowks have availability of snacks and cafeteria. The food taste is always good in every cafeteria but the quantity and price always break heart. Gyms are quite good . Also the central gym has every facility you need to build a good physique. But the gyms are not quite good of other hostel except the VS hall ( hostel of first years) Library and other reading room timings are till 9 pm and during exams upto 12 midnight. For first year there is timing boundries strict but after the first year you can go anywhere anytime with anybody no restrictions. In Rourkela locality is safe to roam anytime in night. Inside college STS , DTS , DP , hexagon , Backpost are good hangout places and outside college neheru park , IG park , Hanuman baatika , Hill top , Vedavyas are good hangout places.
