My best college days

Faculty:

For my branch that is chemistry the faculty to student ratio was 1:30. The faculties are very approachable and very good. They help in getting good internship and job opportunities. They also help to learn many things in their laboratories. I liked my faculty adviser Prof: RK BEHERA. I liked him because he always guided me and he was always avaialble whenever I need any guidance. He also provided me an opportunity in his lab to work with him and learn many skills which helped me further in my actual internship time. There are 2 semesters in each year. An before each semester thre is mid semster. The exam is relevant to the curriculum.

NIT ROURKELA THE ACTUAL REVIEW

Dislikes

There are some professors who are very much qualified but they lack in methods of teaching which quite upsets me , also some lack in language also ,the main language used locally is hindi but the classes are taken in English but in an Indian standard

The faculties are abundant in this college there are very good ones also some bad ones, the relationship between faculties and students are good there are faculties who conducts extra classes for doubt clearing and all , also faculties support our interest in any research or project works they guide us or helps us in the best way the can . There are no specific faculty that i like more as all are very good to me and interacting but there are also students who don't interact with these faculties ,there is also faculties who doesn't know the students because its a huge class with a strength around 120 students so remembering everyone is also a very tough task for them. There are some profs who are very bad ti students in giving marks especially in electrical engineering these professors doesn't teach us properly and then they want us to learn externally which is not possible bcz even we try they try to reduce our marks that's so disappointing. The exam patterns are as follows There will be a midsem exams (30 marks) Endsem exams (50 marks) Internal marks (20 marks) Out of 100 only 35 mark is required for one to get P grade (pass) which is also a good thing to clear some tough subjects. The exams are not that difficult but some subjects like electrical machines are tough but if you work hard then its easy to pass there are students who fail to clear the exams mostly due to their playful nature If one fails he/she can write the supplementary during the summer break that year itself there will be classes for two months and both midsems and endsems would be conducted. The curriculum is fine but there are some subjects that are not at all required for us being taught like biology,humanities, bio linguistics etc etc i don't really understand why an engineering student should study these subjects

There was good and healthy intraction with every faculties and all are very supportive.

Every Faculties present were very supportive and helpful. Even every batch is assigned with faculty advisor so he guides us throughout our four years. Exam pattern comprises of 100 marks for each course which includes 30 marks of mid sem , 50 marks of end sem and 20 of teacher assessment. Course curriculum is good. In final year everyone is given a choice of opting either for project or any other courses.

Honest and Genuine review of NIT Rourkela

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 .

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.

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.
