National Institute of Technology - [NIT], Rourkela - Reviews

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.
