Most probably from 3rd year you are eligible for campus placement and many companies like Google, Infosys, TCS, Amazon ,Reliance visit NIT Rourkela. The highest package in this year that is 2024 is 1.2 crore which is from electronic and communication branch, the average package of NIT Rourkela is around 11 to 12 lpa and 90% of student get placed in NIT Rourkela and in most of the cases the non place students of for higher studies and that's the reason they have not gone for placement.

- The first things that comes to mind when I think about nit Rourkela is it's campus of 1200 acers .The campus itself comprises of mountain ,forests and ponds so you will not feel attached to the nature.There is no pollution at all.
- The academic section of this institution is marvelous.Every department has its own speciality but computer science is the best .The department building are very beautiful and adorable.For the student who likes fest this place is for them .(Innovation
- The faculty of nit Rourkela are well qualified in their subject and are very much co operative with the student .Any issue related to studies and personal problems we can directly reach to the Faculty advisory or faculty for advise.
Dislikes
- You have to wake up early in the morning that is 8 am and rush to the lecture hall for your class.Some faculty allowed study for late coming but some don't allow so you should be careful with the faculty .
- The minimum attendance is 85% so it's a major issue because you can't simply miss your class.If you are understanding well and good but if you are not then you have to sit in the class for your attendence.
- If you are goal focused students then try to make friends of intrest so that both can help each other in study and other skills .Some unwanted friends can divert you from your goal . Living on the top floor of hostel feels like you are in Rajasthan.
Student Snaps:
Placement Experience:
After final year that is fourth one becomes eligable for campus placement. Google , microsoft ,Amazon ,Wipro ,Gail,Indian oil etc are the main company visiting nit rkl.The heighest package 83.5 lpa and avarage is about 13.4
