- Our campus is really huge, full of lush greenary . Rourkela , as a city , is quite peaceful and beautiful. The weather can be a little extreme during the peak summer and winter but otherwise it is quite good.
- The campus life is very exciting. we have over 50 different clubs catering to everyone's interest and we have 4 fests every year. We celebrate all the Indian festivals in our campus. The sports facilities are excellent.
- The placements and internships that students from our college get are quite above average. The highest package goes upto 96 lakhs per annum, with the average being around 12-14 lakhs pr annum. maximum students get placed in pretty good companies .
Dislikes
- zonism is very prevalent inside the campus with people forming groups among themselves based on the state/place they belong to.
- The attendance policy is very strict with the requirement of 85 percent attendance. The academic rigor is also a bit more as compared to the other colleges.
Placement Experience:
I believe that the placements and internships provided by my college are very well above average. Being an institute of national importance and one of the top NITs, our career development cell makes sure to get every student opting to sit for placements, and get a job offer to the best of their abilities.
They hold regular sessions on various domains to help us choose one out of them and then guide us to move forward in our chosen domain by helping prepare our resumes giving us resources and making us practice group discussions, aptitude questions, and interviews. Then the internship season starts at the end of the 4th semester as we all do a compulsory internship after our 6th semester. and placement season starts from the end of the 6th semester and continues till the end of the 8th semester. Many of the students who get an on-campus internship offer, get the pre-placement offer after their internships. Companies like Google, Texas Instruments, Oracle, Tata, Accenture, fractal, PWC, ZS etc come to our campus. The highest package is about 98 lpa while the average is 12- 14 lpa across all the branches. more than 90 percent of the students sitting for the placements get placed.
