Courses General General PwD SC ST OBC-NCL OBC-NCL PwD EWS
BTech Computer Science Engineering 3369 8 490 131 1037 37 432

Ques. Can I secure a seat in both JoSAA and CSAB in NIT Rourkela?

Ans. No, if the candidate is allotted a new seat in the CSAB counselling then the seats that he/she had reserved in the previous JoSAA rounds will automatically get cancelled. A candidate cannot get both seats from JoSAA and CSAB Special Rounds. If he/she already accepted the seat and paid the fees for CSAB, they will have to accept it and cannot switch to JoSAA. Thus, the applicant must carefully review their preferences if they're interested in a different seat than JoSAA. The JoSAA seats cancellation ensures that students who are no longer interested don't block seats for other candidates and makes a more efficient allocation process. Since, the CSAB round takes place after the JoSAA round, it would be more difficult to organise a scenario where students can hold seats in both rounds.

Ques. What is the difference between JEE Mains rank and percentile?

Ans. JEE Main Rank is the absolute position where the candidate with the highest score gets Rank 1 and is a direct competition for a specific ranking. However, the JEE Main Percentile is the percentage of students who scored equal to or lower than other candidates in the exam. The major difference is that it indicates how well a candidate performed relative to the competition which means higher rank is better and percentile compared to the overall performance which means higher percentile is better. For predicting admission chances in competitive colleges lower rank is generally preferred. Given below is the percentile, marks, and rank table:

Percentile Marks Rank
99 236-151 10581-11750
98.5 223-139 11751-17477
98 213-131 17478-22957

BTech in Chemical Engineering 18195 33636
BTech in Civil Engineering 23632 33032

Ques. Why should I check the year wise cutoff for the BTech cutoff?

Ans. The cutoff scores vary every year and by comparing cutoffs from previous years, the trends can be identified. The difficulty level of the JEE Main exam can vary slightly from year to year and comparing cutoffs helps you adjust for this variation. The number of candidate's and the overall performance of the test-takers can also influence cutoffs and can help estimate the level of competition. By analysing past cutoff trends, the candidate can develop a more effective preparation strategy. The JEE Main opening ranks for BTech Computer Science Engineering at NIT Rourkela have been steadily decreasing over the past four years. This might be due to an increase in the number of seats available or a slight decrease in the overall difficulty level of the exam. Thus, it is important to consider the four-year trend which can still be helpful.

  • The mess is in close proximity to the hostel and the level of hygiene is commendable here. The mess follows a 4-meal per day system wherein Breakfast is served in the morning at around 7 -9.30 am, lunch at 12–1:30 pm, snacks at 5–6 pm, and finally dinner at 8–9:30 pm.
  • Many night canteens run till 3 in the morning to cater to the midnight cravings of the students. 
  • The institute is a heaven for sports lovers. It has facilities for almost every kind of sport like football, cricket, hockey, volleyball, basketball, and kabaddi.
  • The internet connection facilities are however poor and this matter needs to be taken care of.

You will be surprised to know that my friends in other NITs keep complaining about the campus life there while I was very satisfied with the quality of campus life offered at NIT Rourkela. So, in addition to academics, NIT Rourkela also offers a vibrant college life!

Is there a branch change option after first year in NIT Rourkela? If there is what are the conditions?

Sudeeksha VermaB.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

Yes, there is an option for branch change after the first year at NIT Rourkela. The conditions for branch change vary depending on the specific program and the student's academic performance. Generally, students must attain a CGPA of 8.5 with no backlogs to be eligible for a branch change. 

Here is what the institute has officially declared regarding branch change:

All B. Tech, Int. MSc and BTech- MTech dual degree students who have secured a GPA of 8.5 or more (without any backlog) at the end of the first year are eligible for a branch change given they fulfill the following criteria 

  • Change of branch will depend on the availability of vacant seats. Also, the vacancy created in the branch you are changing from should not be more than 5% of the actual existing strength.
  • The 5% of vacancy is calculated on the basis of the existing strength. 
  • Once you have changed your branch, you cannot go back to your old branch.

What is the worst thing about NIT Rourkela?

Tithi AggrawalLives in New Delhi

One of my cousins is currently studying at NIT Rourkela and shared a few worrisome things about the institute that affected her learning experience 

  • NIT Rourkela is surprisingly underestimated and does not get the fame it deserves. Only its students can get an idea of its incredibility.
  • Usually on Sundays, the campus witnesses a power cut from 8 AM to 5 PM. 
  • The attendance policies are very rigid and a minimum of 87.5% attendance is required. 
  • Rourkela does not have connectivity through flight. This makes traveling difficult for the students and also limits the number of recruiters.
  • The clubs are underfunded and therefore their performance is not very good.
  • The library is poorly stocked. It does not have books that are more important to students while exam preparations.
  • The institute has an overly secured campus with a large number of security forces.
  • The campus is overly large and one cannot travel by foot. You need to have a bicycle, to save time and energy.

However, the above-mentioned points aren’t very crucial and don’t affect the learning process directly. So it’s better to overlook them and focus on the bright side of the institute.

How's life at NIT Rourkela?

Raktim Tarafdar
Sudeeksha VermaB.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

Campus life at NIT Rourkela is one of the best you can experience in India. The infrastructure is amazing and the college spreads across a whopping 1200 acres.

  • The hostel rules are very flexible with no restrictions on the timings. Students can even hang out late at night with their friends riding their bicycles and taking in the fresh air. 
  • With enjoyment comes a huge load of responsibilities that make you self-dependent. The students have weekends off so Friday nights are highly cherished.
  • The club culture here speaks highly of the institute's diversity. There are around 60 clubs each promoting a different theme.
  • Garden fests and hall days ensure a vibrant campus life and you will end up creating some of the best memories here. 
  • NIT Rourkela organizes some very amazing fests like the Annual tech-fest, INNOVISION, and NITRUTSAV, the cultural fest.

In addition to all the fun activities, you will have to maintain a good CGPA for better placements.

How is the integrated MSc in physics at NIT Rourkela?

Sriparna BanerjeeStudied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

I am well aware of the situation of NIT Rourkela Integrated MSc in Physics since my sister is a student there. She shared her horrible experience and does not recommend it to anyone at all.

  • The faculty pool comprises underqualified professors with zero experience and will to reach. They are unapproachable and don’t pay heed to the students' doubts.
  • The curriculum is very rigid and students are offered no flexibility in choosing their electives. Rather they are forced to choose subjects that are only relevant to experimental physics.
  • Students are required to get the signature of the Faculty Advisor, HOD, Asst. Registrar, and Dean even for the smallest official work. 
  • The place limits your talents and ambitions so much that all your dreams and talents will be crushed.

My sister regrets wasting 5 precious years on this course and advises everyone to refrain from joining it.

What is the most useless branch at NIT, Rourkela?

Ashish KumarB.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2019)

I don't think there is a single useless branch at NIT Rourkela or at any institute. The diverse branches aim at catering to the needs of all kinds of students. So a branch that is useless for you might be useful for someone else and vice versa. Moreover, if a branch seems to be useless then it's because its students are not passionate enough to make the most out of it. Comparing branches can also result in this preconceived notion of a rank being inferior to the other. 

It's always better to find solutions than to complain. Rather than declaring a specific branch to be useless, we should identify its weaknesses and work on them for instance, one of my friends found his branch to be below average and he along with his batchmates used to sit and single out companies that could hire them they even talked to the professors regarding the changes that coil be made in the curriculum to make the course more appealing and informative.

I believe once you start focusing on gaining knowledge rather than earning money, you won't find a single branch useless. Yes, a branch can provide lesser job opportunities than other branches but that does not make it useless.

Is NIT Rourkela worth being ranked as 2nd best NIT (as per MHRD Rankings 2017)?

Sudeeksha VermaB.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

Currently, NIT Rourkela is ranked as the 3rd best NIT after NIT Trichy and NIT Karnataka as per the MHRD rankings 2023. Now, before determining if NIT Rourkela is worth being ranked so highly, we need to know what criteria make up an MHRD ranking 

  • Infrastructure : NIT Rourkela has a huge and serene campus with some of the best campus facilities. It’s said to have the best infrastructure among other engineering colleges.
  • Curriculum: Most national institutes have a similar curriculum where the branch-specific courses are introduced from the 2nd year. NIT Rourkela's curriculum may not be the best but is certainly well-structured.
  • Research papers : NIT Rourkela has an active research culture and has produced almost an equal number of papers and a thesis like IITKGP. This is one of the major reasons for its high rankings.
  • Numbers of courses: NIT Rourkela has a diverse range of courses from several BTech programs to PhD programs. 
  • Placements: This is where NIT Rourkela has to step back because of its poor location. 

So yes, NIT Rourkela very much deserves the high ranking it gets considering its excellent infrastructure, curriculum, and research opportunities.

Which among BIT Mesra and NIT Rourkela is better?

Ankit Dubey
Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

One of my friends is a student of BIT Mesra and yet claims that joining NIT Rourkela would have been a better decision. He regrets choosing BIT Mesra because

  • Very adamant and unapproachable administration that does not pay heed to students' complaints.
  • The campus has poor infrastructural facilities and students constantly face issues related to water, electricity, and network 
  • The faculty pool comprises only a handful of qualified professors and most of them are not interested in teaching.
  • The institute has imposed illogical restrictions that affect the quality of campus life largely.
  • The institute charges exorbitantly high fees making it difficult for financially weak students to join.

Overall, I will say BIT Mesra offers a good academic environment but that is it. It lacks a vibrant college life so if you are looking for one, choose NIT Rourkela!

How is the chemical engineering department at NIT Rourkela?

Kirti Goyal
Ankita BhattacharyaB.Tech Chemical Engineering & American Chemical Society, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2021)

According to the student’s reviews online, you should not opt for chemical engineering at NIT Rourkela. 

Here are some reasons as to why:

  • The faculty of the department is not good, they are mostly new at their jobs and have very little educational experience.
  • They focus more on theoretical learning than practicals.
  • They prefer when students mug up theories rather than understanding them in depth.
  • The teachers sometimes give so many assignments that it becomes impossible to complete them in time.
  • There is a lot of communication gap between students and teachers.

Lastly, the placement scenario of this department is bad. Most of the students are going into the IT sector and a very few got recruited in core industries and many students did not even receive placement offers.

So considering everything it is suggested you do not pursue chemical engineering at NIT Rourkela.
