Honest and Genuine review of NIT Rourkela

Likes

So, the Positive aspects of the college are that big companies come for the place Like Amazon, NVIDIA, Tata, Texas Instruments and many more. And also, the fees is relatively less than the other engineering colleges. And also many workshops happens.
The relevance of the course curriculums is not very linked to the modern requirements but in the expertise in this college gives us also helps in the further development of our personality and in learning the new things.

Dislikes

The curriculum is not up to date The college is only focusing on theory but not on the skills for the students and therefore students have to work by their own to develop such skills which require for the placements.

Fees and Financial Aid:

So the detailed fees structure of the NIT Rourkela College is such that The tuition fees is about 1.25 lakh per year and the admission fees is about 2500 for the one time only and the caution fees which is refundable is about 10,000 this is also only for one time And the other fess including like a exam and library is about 5000 per year and the student activity fee is about 2000 per year and the medical fees is also about 2000 per year and the hostel plus mess fees is approximately 80,000 per year So by concluding that we got an average fees of 2,20,000 per year. And also there is a fee concession for reserve categories such that for SC, ST ,PWD and students with family income less than 1,00,000 per year has not to pay any tuition fees and only have to pay the hostel and mess charges. And for families which have an income of 1 to 5 lakh per year the tuition fees is reduced by 2/3 and has to pay only the 1/3 tuition fee. Now for the fee structure trend the tuition fee are increasing steadily over recent years and also further hikes are possible. So the money needed for the completion of four year B tech in EC branch is approximately 8 to 10 lakhs for general category. Now the scholarship and the financial aid includes Merit cum means, central and state scholarships, Institute scholarships and other scholarships like by private players example Aditya Birla, ONGC, Tata etc. So on conclusion the hostel and mess fees are compulsory for all students and the fee structure may vary by year or Batch by the central government guidelines and the institute policies.

Pros and Cons of NIT Rourkela

The fee structure covers tuition fees and other miscellaneous fees. I am paying 1 lakh a year or 50000 per semester. For Sc St students 100% fee waiver is there hence they pay only hostel and mess fee. When the counseling is going on one has to deposit 40000 in the name of institute as seat acceptance fee. Then after getting into NIT ROURKELA the first semester fee is adjusted with it. The institute has fee waivers on basis of family income of a student. For students having family income between 1 to 5 lakhs , 2/3 rd of the fees is waived off. For students having less than 1 lakh family income whole tuition fee is waived off
