- The fests conducted in our college are worth enjoying and marvelous talent is encouraged.
- No fees hike policy.cost to study is a bit high for a government organisation but it's worth it.scholarship opportunities financial assistance and job opportunities are very satisfactory over here.

- The scholarship availability should not be below 5 lakh.. it should be a larger number beacuse 5 lakh income is lower income than a lower middle class family.
- The faculty advisor is a very rude and strict person who doesn't understand the student's problems.
- Placements for lower branches are not that good and being a remote area more companies are not coming to college

- Good green nature and environment. Last green campus.
- Placements are good for most of the branches especially circuital branches ( cse, ece, ei, ee)
Dislikes
- Once you get a backlog cause of any reason, its quite difficult and costly process to get passed again. It involves a lot of strict rules and regulations.
- No much visiting places. No fast transport for south indians mainly. Tours and long trips are only for richees.
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

- The environment is great and you'll meet the top students of India with brilliant minds. You'll learn a lot throughout your journeyney
- Faculty and professors are helpful and they try to resolve student's doubt.
- Great infrastructure. You will not only get to see a big campus but overall the infrastructure is great.
Dislikes
- Specially for girls ( if you get cvr hall of residence you will have to share a your room. The room are not spacious enough to occupy two people. Sadly, you have to manage with that
- As in any other college, there will some days when you feel zonism is there. ( people will prioritize oria people)
- Mess food is not that good. Hygiene issues will be there. I haven't faced it much as i am vegetarian and i joined the green mess of our college which serves tasty hygienic food.
Course Curriculum Overview:
You 'll get a whole range of courses. And there are some extra courses as well which is not provided by every college. Exams are conducted in a disciplined way. Punctuality and strictness is mainatined by both staffs and students. I think the staffs should be more strict to prevent students to cheat in the exams as there our students who are smart enough and they manage to cheat even in this strict environment.

A friend at NIT Rourkela gave me a detailed review of her college the last time she visited me. Here are some highlights from her descriptive experience
- NIT Rourkela has a huge, serene, and well-secured campus.
- The institute has diverse clubs that promote extracurricular activities and their performance is better than most clubs of other engineering colleges.
- Decent Internet speed is offered and the Dc++ is well maintained.
- The hostels are well-maintained and decked with all the basic amenities one could ask for.
- Students are actively involved in sports such as gymming and swimming.
- The faculties are a mixed bag. Some are underqualified and lethargic while some motivate you to become a better person.
- The institute boasts of an extensive entrepreneurship culture.
- The institute needs to work on increasing its alumni base and the level of fests it organizes given the huge income the institute generates.
- The placement scenario varies from branch to branch. It's decent for branches like CS while pathetic for others.
- Rourkela does not have any places to explore and also lacks flight connectivity.
- The city of Rourkela is one of the cleanest places so hygiene is not an issue here.
