- The college I got was not my dream college but after exploring the campus and taking classes it felt fascinating I liked each and every thing about the campus and faculties behaviour not a single professor is having any kind of attitude.
- Here the involvment of students in studies is very high and mentorship quality is very good senior students are assigned as the mentors for the 1st year students.
- Currently I guess in NIT rourkela the girls to boys ratio is 30:70 not sure about it. Personal and professional development of student happens when they went to college after intracting with people from different places and parts of the country.
Course Curriculum Overview:
Course curriculum in B.Tech is little bit tough but as much as you get involved in studies you will see that every thing for you becomes easier. It helps and provide exposure to so many real world problems . 2 exams are there in the whole semester 4 in a year 2 mid sems and 2 end sems. end sem gets little bit tougher as compared to mid sems.

Dislikes
- The hostel food is okay okay type not so much celebrated
- The semester exam is not 6 months approximately it last for 4-5 months
- Not much guidance about career development and personal experiences
Placement Experience:
It's quite simple you have to study the courses offered by the college and in your own you have to develop your skill to compete with others in order to get good placement opportunities. My plans after getting a degree is to join where I get placed and prepare for the civil services exam.

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.
These were some snippets from the detailed experience shared by my friend. Hope this helped you.
