Honest and Genuine review of NIT Rourkela

Likes

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.
The college life is decent and also the quality of social Interaction is good in this college as people from different regions of India comes here. Some faculties are very interested in teaching but some are not very much interested .

Dislikes

Also the mess food Is very decent and some lecture rooms are also not well maintained as there are issues of the eco of the voice of professor in the lecture halls.

Faculty:

The faculty is to student ratio is Between 1:12 and 1:15 . The faculty and student relationship is good in this college and the faculties are very much approachable by the means of a mobile phone, email and in person. So the faculty named Sudeep Kundu is a very good teacher and also very much passionate for the teaching and works very hard for the students to understand the topics.Also Also the faculty named Kamlesh Acharya is also a very good teacher of mathematics he always focuses on the student doubts and on the question practices which helps the student to understand the mathematical problems very easily. So there mainly two exams which are midsems and endsems And the level of the paper is Not so hard. The failing students for the exams are very few. The relevancy of the course curriculum is not up to date As in nowadays skills are a necessary part for the placement but the college is not providing us an enough skills for the placement.

Review Of College Life at NIT Rourkela

Highly Qualified Professors with active research

Teaching Method is Very Outdated with havy rely on Slides.

Student Snaps:

Faculty to Student Ratio- 1:30. Faculty are very friendly and easily apporachable. Per Semester There are 2 main exam Mid sem and End Sem. While more small Quiz are organized by prof. Exam are Difficult. Maintaing a CGPA is a must.

NIT Rourkela in a nutshell.

The faculty to student ratio is pretty good. I dont know the exact number but it is good. There are 2 exams in one semester mid sem and end sems.Mid sems carry 30 marks and end sems are of 50 marks. The remaining 20 marks is given by the professor. He can give the marks any way he likes but mostly it is given for interaction in class, classtests and assignments given by the professor.The exams are not too difficult. One can score easily by reading class notes and slides as most questions are from class notes or from assignments or previous year questions. I liked Suchandar kayal sir from second semester who taught us maths. He was a bit strict on the attendance but his teaching was very good and he was very friendly. He also gave us good marks. I did not like the professor who taught evs in second semester. He only read the slides and did not pay any attentation to what the students are doing in the class and goes on reading the slides.

Welcome To NIT Rourkela

There are sufficient faculty members from each department and very approachable to solve our both academic and non academic doubts.Professor Prasoon Das is one of the most liked faculty. The previous year question paper are also available in the college site for students to prepare for exam.

Inside scoop: life and learning at NIT ROURKELA

The faculties are well qualified and overall good with some exceptions some faculties usually just read from the ppts and all but few of the faculties also emphasize on teaching greatly The faculties are approachable that is you can ask them doubts after the class and all. I liked the maths faculty named Kamlesh Acharya he taught maths very well. There are 2 sets of exams in the college one being the mid sem and the other being the end sems Usually the the checking of question paper is fluid and most of the students pass baring few exceptions . If in case the paper was very tough or something like that then the teachers follow relative grading . The course is quite releavnt including buzz topics like AI and ML

Heaven on earth

Faculty members are supportive .They try to make you understand things provided if you want to.This can differ from branch to branch.Electrical proofs are bit strict do you need to have good focus on class to pass the subject.

NIT Rourkela - The Hidden Beauty

Majority of the faculties here are good and approachable. They are kind and helpful. They help to understand the topic and also give tips regarding exams. One faculty I really liked was the one who taught us Engineering mechanics. He really was a nice faculty, gave us liberty, always joked with us, and helped us for exams and gave good marks. I didnt like the faculty who taught us maths in the 1st sem. She wasnt that good, had zero interaction with us, only wrote on board and went away without explaining in detail. There are total of 9 subjects in 1st semester and 8 subjects in 2nd semester. The tough ones are electrical and engineering mechanics exams ,and students tend to fail or score just pass marks in these exams.

The teachers don't care if you are understanding anything or not.

Some faculty members are good and friendly to students. Some are very rude. You can try to approach them but in a formal way, like emailing them first. Exams are moderate, but as the students don't seem to understand a word the teachers teach, many fail. Most subjects are irrelevant to course.
