What Students Say

Likes

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.

Dislikes

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

The Huge Short

Likes

The workload is very little, giving us time to focus on many non-academic related fields.
The campus is very spacious. It is lush green, giving a very positive environment. The club opportunities are also great.
The teachers are very approachable. Doubts are cleared, when required.

Dislikes

due to Anti-ragging laws first-years are prohibited from meeting seniors, and have seperate hostels, which makes a lack in good insight.
The mess system is very bad. No id card swipes are allowed, leaving you with very few choices of food.
The hostel wifi has games banned, along with whatsapp video and audio calling

Placement Experience:

The students are eligible to get an intership from the end of the second semestor of their second year, i.e, the end of 4th semester. A lot of companies come and offer jobs. the highest job offer was for around 1.5Cr in campus. Some students were able to grab pretty good off-campus jobs upto 1cr as well. In cse around 97% of the students get placed. My plans after getting my degree is to work, or maybe start a company.

A freshers' experience

Likes

Great campus and helping faculties, Labs are great and you cannot resist your will to be involved.
One can build great network with students as all are intelligent and achievers.
Proper place to exercise, like gym and bars exist for calisthenics too.

Dislikes

Mess can be kept more clean and can provide more hygienic food.
Parking area for cycle should be cemented, so that less dust blows from crowd.
Small rooms with lack of electric facilities, like you cannot even use electric kettle in your room.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements from 4th semester, but they can apply for internships, in which our college helps to enroll. They can take part in internships from 2nd year and can also get pre-placement offers from companies if they perform well. After getting a degree , I will become a software developer and will thrive for growth there.

NIT Rourkela , basic questions answered

Likes

Superb campus, spent weeks just trying to see it all , great fields for practising any sport and even a swimming pool open for students . The infrastructure is magnificent. Faculty's are good and also help beyond college hours
There is no sort of language barrier here which i expected because I come from Rajasthan. Mostly everyone understands hindi like even the auto drivers. Lectures are in mixed english and hindi and never udia and udia is super easy to learn
The course is a bit of harsh to students in the first and second semester because of the standard difficulty of the exam papers but studying just a week ago from the exams ensures an easy 7.5+ CGPA

Dislikes

The interaction with girls is like not appreciated, couples have a lot of places to hang out but in public the single ones just are a little bit too nosy.
The day to day amenities like fruits , cycle repair (the campus is large so a cycle is required) are a little bit too costly. Like single apple for 50
All of the restaurants and plazas inside campus charge a hell lot of money

Course Curriculum Overview:

The extra subject you have to choose us pretty fun to do and also promises good grades . The curriculum is bit of like a mix so it's real life applications are not many except the ethics one which is meant to do especially that but it is pretty much the same stuff taught in other branches . The exams are very very far away from each other and give a lot of time to prepare

Discovering NIT Rourkela

Likes

It is a completely ragging free campus, and strict actions are taken against individuals who attempt to do so. Furthermore, seniors are very approachable and treat you kindly .
The course cirruculum is not extremely rigourous and can be completed with ease with regular studies and about 20 hours of classes take place in a week leaving lots of room for personal and professional development.
The campus is expansive with multiple fields to play a large variety of sports and an expansive list of clubs to explore from tech to cultural. Multiple fests and contests are conducted throughout a semester to keep on entertained.

Dislikes

The hostel rooms are quite small especially for first years as they provide VS Hall ,a single seater hostel to be shared with a roommate but if you are lucky enough to make a good friend circle hostel life is truly a bliss.
The FOOD is something that will bother you especially if you are from other regions of India, it isn't great and does require you to adjust though there are multiple eateries within the campus if you have the finances to afford them regularly.
85% ATTENDANCE-The faculty is very hit or miss ,if you get unlucky that could mean a lot of self studying and along with this some profs are known to grade poorly and with absolute grading this can be a headache.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum isn't extremely well structured In first year , students are taught a fundamental course from various departments of engineering though most of it is irrelevant to most other departments. From second year , department specific subjects are brought on but in no way is the curicullum cutting edge but it does provide a good fundamental understanding and most faculty are well versed in their domain to be able to appropriately convey the material. Furthermore, the college environment provides access to all kinds of pursuits from being able to work in tutelage of PHD scholars or faculty in assisting them in their projects or to join clubs and groups working in wide array of specialized domains.

What is your review of National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (NIT-RKL)?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

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.
