Dissatisfied with the attendance percentage as it is 85%, but placements are good. Food is also good
Placements: Almost 100% of students get placements. The highest salary package offered by BPCL is 19 LPA. The lowest salary package offered by TCS is 3.6 LPA. Tata Steel, Reliance, JSL, Vedanta, and Godrej are top recruiting companies. Around 10% of students got internships at Tata steel, JSL, and Reliance. An executive manager is the top role.
Infrastructure: There is no wireless Wi-Fi in the department. Labs are quite good. There is no specific library for each department. We have a main library in our college. Professors have many kinds of books. They give us books if we consult them and help with projects.
Faculty: Our teachers are very knowledgeable. They have a good teaching quality. The course gives students a description of industries. They are relatively matched. Semester exams are moderately difficult. The pass percentage is 95%. Some teachers are responsible. The curriculum is also very good.
Other: I would like to join PSU so I choose this branch. I improved my thinking and understanding skills through this course and gained knowledge about industries. Fests are quite good. Around 4 big events are held yearly.

The dream college NIT Rourkela.
Placements: Around 90% of students in NIT Rourkela are placed, and the rest go for higher studies, and some make their own start-ups. The highest package was around 83.6 LPA, and the average is 13.6 LPA. Almost all the students get internships in tech companies and research and development.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of NIT Rourkela is well-maintained. The main buildings of NIT Rourkela have their own importance. All classes of 1st year and 2nd year are held in the lecture hall, and the rest of the classes are in their respective departments. There are canteens and restaurants, so if you are bored of eating mess food, you can go to the canteen.
Faculty: The faculty are very much co-operative and well-trained in their respective fields. If students have doubts regarding their subjects, they can directly approach the faculty advisor or the faculty itself. Examinations of subjects are taken as internal, mid-semester, and end-semester.
Other: I choose this course because, at my rank, it was the most suitable option.

It is a very good college.
Placements: More than 80% of students got placed in our branch this year. In our department, the highest salary package offered as per the latest information is 31 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered ranges from 11-12 LPA. The average salary package offered is 13 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Reliance, ONGC, and some other core companies visit the college to hire students. This year very few students were able to get an internship.
Infrastructure: Our department is very well-equipped with lab instruments. It even provides a good area to perform our academic-related stuff. I am allotted at Vikram Sarabhai Hall of Residence, which is the only hostel for first-year students. The first-year students live with PhD scholars. In my opinion, rooms are not at all sufficient for two people to live in.
Faculty: Faculty members whom I have come across are decently good. First-year students are taught by assistant professors or associate professors. All the professors are from Odisha itself. They are well-qualified in their respective sectors, but there is an issue with English here. They do speak in English but it is hard for us to decode what they are telling.
Other: I personally chose this course because I found chemical engineering to be an interesting course. I also wanted to explore my area of interest in this particular course.

One of the top NITs of India.
Placements: Last year, 89 percent of the students were placed. 00 percent placement in 3 branches and more than 90 percent placement in 10 branches. The highest package was 81 lpa, while the lowest was 3.6 lpa. The average package stood at 13.1 lpa. Almost all top companies recruit here.
Infrastructure: The college has great infrastructure and facilities that are favorable for the students to get a good environment to study and work for their career. The hostel facility is average. The food in the hostel is good but, of course, not like our home. Hostels are well-equipped with all the required facilities.
Faculty: Highly qualified teachers teach here. All of them are masters in their fields. Theory and practice are given equal importance here. The labs are equipped with the required equipment. Students get to know about all the required equipment in their respective industries. Semester exams are on par with teaching ability. 95 percent of students pass the exams.
Other: Fests are amazing and happening. I am glad to get into this college.

Chemical Engineering is way better than civil in NITK. People usually go for civil if they don't get any. Even if you are interested in civil, go for chemical in NITK. It is far better in placements and internships.
