- It offers a great placement after the course completion, companies like microsoft, amazon google, flipkart and other companies like goldman sachs come to recruit new freshers in their companies and even offer internships as well.
- 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

Dislikes
- Placement Opportunities are less because of no airport in Rourkela
- Climate and weather here is very unpredictable
- Mess food is not that good, it definitely need some improvement.
Course Curriculum Overview:
I must say the curriculum is relevant to the course here for mtech cse. All the different subjects hold its own importance according to the course. But I didn't like the teaching methods of faculties here. Sometimes it feels like PPT presentation class. There are two exams in one semester. Mid Sem Exam and End Sem Exam and they both are pretty much normal not too difficult.

M.tech students become eligible for internship from 2nd senester itself. From 3rd semester they start getting full time opportunities too. Mtech students can go for 6 months or 11 months long internships if their guide permits.

Report
Course Curriculum Overview:
This is an extension of my B.Tech in mechanical engineering, so I chose this course. The college is in my home town and is one of the best NITs in India. So it was an easy choice for me.
The faculty are great and very well educated.
The exams were semesters, with 2 semester exams per year.
Report
Placement Experience:
The college placement is excellent, and the college is able to maintain its 100% placement record, thanks to the college's placement committee. The college's placement committee is responsible and cooperative. They are the ones who assist and guide us during the placement rounds because our information has already been registered with the placement committee, allowing them to be aware of our domain and interests. Our batch's highest package was approximately 26 LPA, and the average package was approximately 10 LPA.
Report
Remarks:
One of the best and the top NIT is the reason I have chosen this . I got into this through CCMT and joined the college in August 2020. Classes started from september 2020 . Though it was covid, it was through online only .

- 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 placement scenario varies from branch to branch. It's decent for branches like CS while pathetic for others.
