Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Biotechnology) From NIT Rourkela, Rourkela

Q: What is a better option, NIT Durgapur for chemical or NIT Rourkela for biotechnology?

The choice of an institute depends on 2 major factors, the credibility of the institute and the branch you are getting. In terms of the worth of the institute NIT Rourkela clearly overpowers NIT Durgapur. NIT Rourkela ranks second in East India after IIT Kharagpur. NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is designed for students whose primary focus is pursuing qualitative research and g for a Masters's or Ph.D. That being said, it has limited job opportunities and the placement percentage is as low as 60%. Moreover, only a handful of core companies make offers and the average CTC offered is in the range of 5 -6 Lakhs. NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering is a suitable choice if you prioritize placements to research work. Even the core placements are decent here with companies like IOCL, etc visiting the campus during placements. Ultimately, both institutes and branches offer diverse opportunities so you need to consider your inclinations first. If you are a research enthusiast, NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is great but if your first preference is earning money, then go for NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering.

A Brief review of NIT Rourkela

Likes

Lush Green Campus with an area of more than 800+ acres.
More affordable course fees than some private institutes

Dislikes

85% attendance criteria strict for every student
Administration is very slow in solving student issues.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Post Covid there is an increase in demand for Biotechnology and Biomedical fields. As I didnt yet decided about my future then, I opted for this as the best field to get in. We have numerous labs for each specific field in the branch and there is good research work going on. There is need for change in teaching methods since they are still following the traditional methods for assessments. Each semester is for 4 months and there are two semesters for a year. In each semester, there is mid sem and end sem evaluation.

The lush green sceneries throughout the 1200 acres spread campus makes us feel very connected to nature and makes our mind well refreshed.
The internet connection is very fast , stable and available 24*7 for various academic purposes throughout the campus.

Dislikes

Attendance policy is a bit strict here with minimum attendance being 85 percent it could be made abit linient by making it 75.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose B.Tech in Biotechnology as I was fascinated to learn about various biological advancements and technology to make life sciences better. There are about 49 students in our batch and around 20 faculties. So it's nearly 2-3 students per teacher. The course curriculum is pretty well designed to make sure a student gains practical experiences of theoretical subjects learned through various lab works on the subject. In the first year, every student goes through the same curriculum and then from 2nd year onwards, it's divided according to branches. The faculty members are well qualified and supportive of post-doc fellowships from reputed foreign institutions. There are two exams per semester and two semesters in an academic year. The mid-sem consists of 30% marks, end sem 50% marks, and 20% marks are through faculty in the form of Teaching assessment marks. Grades are provided according to the final marks secured. The course is balanced and good grades can be achieved through consistency.

NIT- Rourkela The ups and downs.

Likes

Their infrastructure and environment which is very clam and peaceful.
Also their course structure which gives a student it's overall development and prepares him for all round development

Dislikes

The management is a concerning matter as the student body does most works and the upper management is a bit lazy .
Also mess food really irritating sometimes. It is sometimes disgusting to find the food so nasty

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because it's one of the most developing courses in the country and also in the fields of job and works . Also in future it will be having a wide scope . Also you get to learn very interesting and mind boggling things which fascinate to learn more efficiently. For every batch of students a faculty advisor is assigned and for each class we have 40 students to 4 to 5 faculty ratio. Faculties are a level of Ph.D and assistant or associate professor levels and professor levels also. Their teaching methods are very sharp and to the point. Every three months we have midsems and then every six months we have a endsem . It's not very difficult but one have to practice and read daily to score prominently but a nights study would make you just pass.
