- One of the thing that I liked was Club/Society Culture at NIT Rourkela, there are several societies here at NIT Rourkela where one can get Involved for their Professional development.
- The Campus of NIT Rourkela is one of the most among all NITs. The campus is so vast that one can't roam around without a cycle.
- Almost Every sport facility is present at NIT Rourkela including a Swimming Pool, Cricket Ground, Basketball Ground e.t.c
Dislikes
- One of the things that I disliked is that if you are coming from a city background, you will not feel good in Rourkela. Rourkela is not so developed city where you can find several Clubs and Malls.
- The teaching methodology of the Professors is not good too. Same as other Nits and IITs you will get only the old Syllabus.
Placement Experience:
Talking about the placements of my college, they are pretty good. In 2023 the average package for chemical engineering was around 12.9 LPA,which is comparable to other Top NITs. Generally, companies start coming for the placements after the start of the 4th year. Last time there were around 1300 offers were given to 1075 students and 200 companies visited. The highest Package was 1.2 Crore. For our branch, 97 % of students got placed last year.

- The campus is very large in size, about 1200 acres and has all the facilities that one will need in any college.
- Multiple fests are organized on a regular basis and the best part is students take care of all those things here.
Dislikes

Student Snaps:
Placement Experience:
Percentage of placements ks quite high when compared to iits. But the average and median salaries are 24 and 23lakhs in cse last year and overall average could be around 12lakhs. Quite a good number of opportunities are available, but students with backlogs are not allowed to sit for placements. Internships need to be increased more. Highest packages range from 55lpa to 65 lpa every year
