NIT ROURKELA THE ACTUAL REVIEW

Likes

The campus infrastructures are good and well maintained,the hostels are also neatly maintained even though they are old buildings. The securities cleaning staffs ,shopkeepers vendors all are very friendly and cooperative.

Hostel Facilities:

The hostels are huge and vast there are alot of rooms in every hostel one room is shared by two which contains 2 cots ,2 chairs and 2 tables the room is quite spacious and there is a fan and window for ventilation also we can keep air coolers in the room during summer but we should pay for it . The room has a wifi port for internet connection. The toilet facilities are also good the cleaning staffs come most of the days in week and clean the toilets and we can ask them to clean our rooms once in a week. No ironbox or kettles are allowed in the room this disappoints . For washing rhe clothes there is a washing machine room which is used by everyone we can wash and keep it for drying where we want to , there is also a laundry setup inside the campus,the guy comes and collects the clothes and returns it in a week after washing and ironing for washing it is 7 rs per dress and for both it is 15 rs . But there are presence of dogs in the hostel premises which will not be accepted by all so this also a drawback ,but the dogs don't harm us. The mess facilities are good the food is goot in taste and healthy when compared with other colleges , we get both non veg and veg, weekly five days we have non-veg in any one of the meals mostly lunch or dinner there will be alternatives for vegetarian peoples. The hostel will be given or allotted when you get the admission in this college so there is no need to worry about it. Also for the UG students for first year they are in a different hostel with Phd students ,this is to avoid the raging issue between seniors and juniors. After first year they can choose any of the hostels in the campus there are 7 boys hostel and 3 girls hostel The boys girls ratio is 3:1 because mostly girls doesn't opt for engineering

Honest and Genuine review of NIT Rourkela

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.
There are no Almirah's in the hostel and also the Internet speed is decent and the connectivity for the NIT Rourkela is not so good And the power cuts are very frequent and there is also no generator available for this.

Hostel Facilities:

The facilities which are provided in the rooms are bed with no matress, table for studying ,chair and the open almirahs and the room is equiped with one tubelight,fan,and the lan connection(LAN cable is not provided). Use can bring/buy your own cooler for the betterment of your comfort. The meals are offered 4 times a day which includ breakfast lunch evening snacks and dinner. In the Mess Both vegetarian and non vegetarian options are available The menu includes frequently items like Rice,dal,seasonal vegetables,paneer,chicken/egg dishes,sweets. In this college there is also an availability for only pure veg mess named Garden Green. For eating in this mess the students have to apply for mess change Foam which is available in Chief Warden office. The food is above average for Indian hostels but not as good as our home food. The registration for the hostel is done through the NIT Rourkela Hostel portal at the time of admission. After first year the student have to change their hostels which are allotted on the basis of grades and priority. And there is only the double occupancy rooms are available.

NIT Rourkela in a nutshell.

Likes

Inside the campus there are lot of shops , restraunts, stalls etc so students don't have to go outside the campus to buy anything. Almost every hostels has stationary shops and printout facilities so it is very convinient.

Dislikes

The first year hostel rooms are a little bit small compared to other hostels' rooms so it feels a little congested.The top floors of hostels are hot compared to other floors so buyin a coller is very much necessary for he students in top floors.

Hostel Facilities:

The hostels are pretty good compared to other college hostels. All rooms are double sharing and some rooms are single. There is ethernet port in the hostel in every room. The internet sped is not too great but it is manageable. There is no seperated registration for hostels in first year we get hostel during admission only. I am not sure if there are pg facilities or not in thid locality. After first year we have options in which hostel we have to stay. We have to fill a form and give 2 of the five hostels as preference. The mess food is not too good but it is manageable as we cannot expect a high quality food from college mess. There are many places where we can eat if we dont like the mess food any day.

Hostel Facilities:

First year rooms are two seater room with 2 beds and 2 tables, little small, some chair(1-2) one big uncovered divided shelves and one upper big shelf If anyone has any medical condition,he can get a single seater room with prior notice. 4 meals a day in mess which arent that bad, are average. Hostels have become a bit costlier now but we are trying to make it little less and yeah, still they are quite affordable. You can rent coolers from second year.

The lush green campus is too soothing to live in. Hostels are very huge and the mess food is far better than any college in Odisha . For pure vegetarians there is a whole separate mess without onion and garlic.only two student live in a single room.

Dislikes

The badminton courts in every hostel is made outdoor . The room is a little short for two people (but quite adjustable) . The hostel mess quality degrades as you move to another sem. For 1st yr boarders rules are strict. No electric appliances allowe

Hostel Facilities:

In room tou are provided with two beds on table with a drawer attached, a fan , a shelf of 4 blocks and also some additional space for your bagpacks and clothes. Also you get a lan port for internet access.( speed is too good) For the cleaning of room once in a week workers come and clean it. You get washing machine for the clothes ( one for 64 students) The bathrooms and toilets are cleaned regularly and also there's the geasire fascility. You can have cooler in your room or can but table fan. The hostel food is totally different from the traditional rumours. The items given according to the menu may lack some quantity satisfaction but always live upto the quality compared to other colleges. The quality degrades with passing time but still adjustable. .for menu you can check on YouTube, always keep changing. You are alloted to the hostel as soon aa your physical reporting completed. All first years reside in a single hostel known as VS hall. And hostel fees according to the facilities is very cheap.

NIT Rourkela: 8 Answered Questions

How is hostel life in NIT Rourkela?

Divya DasB.Tech Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

One of my female friends shared her hostel life experience at NIT Rourkela. Here is a glimpse of what her hostel life looked like

She was allotted B block of KMS hostel, which has the biggest and most spacious rooms among all hostels of the institute.
The institute has a variety of eateries including 1 night canteen and 1 day canteen
The hostel has a number of rules and regulations, one such being the late entry rule wherein if you don’t enter the hostel by 11:00 PM, you have to enter your name in the late entry register. This cannot happen more than thrice a month else your parents will be informed.
Breakfast options are limited such as bread, eggs, bananas, cornflakes, milk, and tea. These items are supplementary to an additional menu
The lunch menu is great for non-veg lovers while the dinner is very pathetic.
Although washrooms are cleared daily, hygiene and cleanliness need to be improved.
Festivals like NITR, Garden Fest, and Hall Fest make the hostel life more vibrant and happening.
There is a common room with indoor sports facilities and other leisure facilities.

Overall hostel life at BIT Mesra is decent for girls with a few restrictions.

NIT Rourkela hostel rooms are decent with enough space to house 2 students. From the 3rd year, students are allotted single-occupancy rooms.

A typical room in an NIT Rourkela hostel has all basic amenities like a table, chair, bed, fan, and light.
Additionally, there is a provision of free Internet facilities and also DCC.
Students can spend their leisure time in the common room which has facilities like indoor games, TV, a library room, and a common mess.
Food served in the mess is decent which is related weekly. Once a week, the menu comprises special dishes. There is a day canteen offering juice, milk, tea, coffee, sandwich, eggs, etc
The midnight cravings are catered to by night canteens that provide tea, snacks, Maggi, and other stuff.

Does NIT Rourkela have good girl's hostel rooms?

Sriparna BanerjeeStudied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

The two girls' hostels available at NIT Rourkela are C.V.Raman Hall of Residence and K.M.Shaw Hall of Residence. During your admission into NIT Rourkela, you will be allotted one of these two hostels.

C.V. Raman Hall of Residence-

It has four blocks- A,B,C and D with single seater rooms. These rooms have a LAN port, two tables, and shelves where you can keep your belongings.
The rooms are bright and airy with curtains.
The problem is that because of the high admission rate to NIT Rourkela and the lack of rooms for so many students, two students share a single room with one bed for each.
The washrooms and mirrors are clean. You will get a shoe stand near your room. The third floor has a wide and nice terrace. The corridors are spacious.
The mess food varies with the caterer who provides the service at the time.
Postgraduate students share rooms during the first year. In the second year, they are allotted single rooms.

Kiran Majumdar Shaw Hall of Residence-

It also consists of 4 blocks. Two blocks have single seater rooms, while two have 3 seater rooms. The rooms are very spacious. You get shelves for your books and cupboards for your clothes.
It is smaller than C.V. Raman Hall but has a better mess.
P.G. students get a 3 seater room during their first year and a single seater in their second year.

The girls hostels at NIT Rourkela are not the best, however, they are quite decent. The best part is that you will enjoy your time over there and make endless memories.

How are the facilities in hostels at NIT Rourkela?

Sriparna BanerjeeStudied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

NIT Rourkela has amazing accommodation facilities with a few disadvantages too.

Pros

NIT Rourkela students are provided with a LAN port per room that operates from 5:30 pm to 8 am and the entire day on weekends.
There are paid laundry services. Although I will recommend washing the expensive pieces of clothing yourself.
Students are allotted double rooms for 3 years and single rooms in the final year.
The campus has a night canteen that operates till 1 am. There is also a day canteen too that runs from 10 am to 7 pm.
The hostels have enough sports facilities like volleyball or badminton.
Students are also provided DC++ for downloading stuff.
The hostels even have a garden and cycle stand to park your cycles.

Cons

The food served in the mess is not really good, especially on weekdays.
Rourkela experiences an extreme climate during summer so you will have to make arrangements for cooling.
Students are prohibited from bringing two-wheelers on campus.

So NIT Rourkela hostel facilities have more pros than cons.

Which is the best hostel at NIT Rourkela?

Ashish KumarB.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2019)

There is no ‘best’ hostel because every student considers his own hostel better than others because it's the place he spent the best years of his life and gave him precious memories. Also, NIT Rourkela does not have hostels but Halls of Residence. That being said, my sister, an ex-student of NIT Rourkela considered her hall, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw Hall of Residence the best hall in NIT Rourkela.

This hall is closest to the entrance and is surrounded by lush greenery.
The hall serves the best food on campus. Mostly students of other halls complain about the quality of food served but here students enjoy their dinner time the most.
This hall is the most maintained and furnished hall on the campus because of limited borders.
The hall is the smallest and therefore it's easy to maintain its beauty. You will find a variety of flowers and plants in its garden.
The boarders of this hall are from diverse courses and departments. This ensures a versatile hostel life. the seniors are there to guide the juniors all the time.
KMS has the most spacious rooms of all the halls on campus.
The hall is the perfect place to escape to during extremely hot climates. The tall trees at Central Avenue are a perfect shade.
The hall is in close proximity to various departments like EC, EE, CS, etc.

Overall, KMS is the best hall of residence in NIT Rourkela that offers a peaceful and serene experience.

What is it like to live in a hostel at NIT Rourkela?

Sriparna BanerjeeStudied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

Hostel life at NIT Rourkela is very happening and vibrant. You will make a lot of new friends here and create memories. The students are instilled with a sense of freedom and this makes the experience more thrilling. You start enjoying the company of your newly found family.

The hostels are decked with modern facilities such as LAN ports.
The mess is also well-maintained with enough cooling systems.
Students are involved in sports activities such as badminton with their friends in the evening.
Group study at night is a common sight here. You can approach your friend even in the middle of the night to clarify any doubts.
The midnight cravings are taken care of by the delicious snacks served in the night canteen at subsidiary rates.
There are around 4 huge festivities within the hostels throughout the year that contribute to the dynamic hostel life.

Overall being a hosteller at NIT Rourkela is fun and you should look forward to it.
