- 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.

- 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.

- 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

- 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.

- 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.

- I liked my college environment,my professors and their way of teaching.
- I love the way how people learn new things
- There are many opportunities that nit Rourkela is giving to me
Dislikes
- I don't like friends because their is no unity among us
- Their is a jealousy between friends that should not be there
- Everyone should help each other in academics but that is absent here
Placement Experience:
Placements in our college are only based on skills. So if one failed in showing their skills then they can't get placement and one should be updated as much as possible for future jobs. They should learn new courses like ai ml and all. Most probably my college will give me good placement if not I will show up my skills and get good job off campus

Dislikes

- Hostel rooms do not have air conditioners
Placement Experience:
Students in the 7th semester are eligible for campus placements. Many MNCs like Apple, Google, John Deere etc come here to shortlist the candidates. The highest package that was in the engineering department was around 2 crores per annum while the average sits around 15-20 lakhs per annum. All of the students who have applied for placements get placed. I would like to pursue my higher studies abroad right after a get my degree.

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.
