What are your thoughts on food processing engineering at NIT Rourkela?

NIT Rourkela's newly launched branch Food Processing has a wide scope for development and research and its worth cannot simply be judged through its placements. It caters to the ones interested in the production and processing of food and maintaining its quality. The branch covers all arenas of food marketing from developing food and machines to keeping the food safe. It comprises concepts from various other branches too like mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and Food Science and Engineering. As there is growth and development in India with respect to Food and Beverage Processing, there has opened up a gate for great research and job opportunities, as well, in the near future or I would say it has already started. I asked a friend about the placement scenario of the branch and he told me that around 80-85% of students are placed. The highest salary package offered is 17 LPA. Most of the students receive internship opportunities while some prefer going to top foreign universities to pursue higher studies or research.

My Big Campus

Our college provides a lot of internships to the students who can fulfill the criteria. Also, various educational loans are available to us so that we can continue with our studies smoothly. Being an OBC category student, I have to pay 530000 with which we can get several benefits of hostel facilities and mess food.

MY DREAM COLLEGE

For every NIT the fees structure range between 6 to 8 lacs in all the 4 years including tution fees, hostel fees and all sorts of expenses. But college provides many scholarship to students, For example,if a student's family income is less than 1 lacs then the college leave the students tution fees ,if the family income range between 1 to 5 lacs then college leave three- fourth tution fees . And many more government scholarship scheme comes to college and it depends on your cgpa and family income.

NIT Rourkela: Lush of Odisha

Attendence criteria is too strict.It is 85% for NIT Rourkela which is really huge

Approx 1lakh is the total fee for one semester including hostel and mess fee. For SC and ST students, they are not required to pay tuition fees. Also for a family income of less than one lakh, there is a full fee waiver. For annual income up to 3 lahks 2/3 of tuition fee being reduced and for upto 5lakh 2/3 is being reduced. Also, there are banks like SBI on campus which provide education loans at minimum interest rates. For Btech students, there are not any campus jobs in my view.

The fee structure is quite high but it is neutralized by the scholarship. The financial assistance is good here. No, I have not got anything regarding it. The scholarships can be availed here according to caste.
