NIT Rourkela is a decent college.
Placements: According to our CDC Career Development Committee, in electrical engineering, the highest salary package offered is 51 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 3.3 LPA and the average salary package offered is 13.36 LPA. The median salary package offered is 10.50 LPA. The highest salary package is offered by VISA in software domain. Decent internship opportunities are provided too if we study well.
Infrastructure: Overall infrastructure is decent. Some buildings are old while some are new. All classrooms are fully air-conditioned with digital board in new lecture hall complex. Projectors are available in all classrooms. Hostel rooms for 1st-year are 2 seaters with decent size provided with 2 beds, 2 tables, and 1 chair so one can imagine the size. Mess is good in comparison with other colleges.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Knowledge is a different thing and teaching skill is a different thing, so sometimes lectures can be boring. Course curriculum in 1st year is almost the same for every branch and then core subjects come into the picture. Semester exams are considered the most difficult one among all colleges in India.

NIT Rourkela: Value for money.
Placements: The average salary package for the 2023 graduating class was 15 lakhs per annum, and the highest salary package was 83 lakhs per annum. Approximately 90% of students were placed. Students secured jobs in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, IT, and consulting.
Infrastructure: Our college classrooms are well maintained and have air conditioning in each room. The college also uses newer technology, such as digital boards and projectors. The library is a popular study spot for students because it contains a variety of books and provides a quiet environment for study. The hostel provides a moderate quality of food in the mess, but the authority ensures proper hygiene. Students have access to many facilities, such as indoor and outdoor games facilities, a reading room for study, and a TV room for entertainment.
Faculty: The faculty members at this college are very knowledgeable in their subjects, having earned their Ph.D. degrees from reputable IITs. They are also very caring and responsive to students' questions. The difficulty of the exams depends on the students. If a student is serious about their future, they can pass with good grades and enjoy college life without too much study pressure.
Other: I prepared a lot for the joint entrance examination, but for some reason I didn't make it to the IITs. The best government colleges after the IITs are the NITs, so I decided to join NIT Rourkela, which is in my home state and is one of the top 5 NITs. After JoSAA counseling, I got this branch, which is one of the toughest in engineering and requires a lot of hard work. I want to change this burden on students.

I am satisfied with all facilities and faculty here, and I am happy about my college.
Placements: About 90% of the students are placed who studied Electrical Engineering at NIT Rourkela. The remaining members mostly choose M.Tech or other alternatives rather than the job. The highest package is around 83 LPA, the lowest package is 3 LPA, and the average package was 15.7 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, BPCL, and Wipro. About 50% of students got internships from our course in various companies like Microsoft, Wipro, and Deloitte. Top roles in our course were Electrical Design Engineer, Power Systems Engineer, Testing and Quality Engineer, and Power Plant Engineer.
Infrastructure: Classrooms were very large, very good, and very comfortable. The library is very big, and we can find a wide range of books there. We are able to know from the computer which books are available and where they are located. When it comes to Wi-Fi, it is quite slow in hostels; the maximum it can reach is 20 Mbps. We face a little issue with Wi-Fi speed, and it was quite disappointing. The labs were very good, and there is no problem at all.
Faculty: Some teachers are very good, and some are quite bad. We can learn only 5% in class; the remaining we have to work out in our free time. Yes, the course curriculum was good, and it makes students very strong to face any type of interview in the future. The semester exams are quite difficult, but if we study regularly, we can easily crack it and perform better.
Other: I opted for this course because I love Electrical Engineering, and according to my rank, I thought NIT Rourkela was better to study. We worked very hard to study at NIT, and I am proud to study here. They should improve the Wi-Fi speed for better performance, as Wi-Fi speed is very low, and everything else is very good. We know that there are limited seats for each course, so there is not much crowd on campus, as the campus is very large (about 800 acres). There are many fests going on, and we can enjoy a lot at the fests. There are many extracurricular activities in our college. We play every sport, and there are different clubs for music, dance, and photography.

My opinion on NIT ROURKELA.
Placements: This college offers one of the best placements in India. The placements here are made easy with the help of the placement coordinator here. There is an online test (OT) then for which you will be shortlisted for an interview. The placements here have been very satisfactory. I have a friend who has received placement of 28LPA in the core section. Nothing to worry about that department as a decent CGPA will guarantee your placement here.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college hostel is very poor. The maintenance is very rarely done and the time for renewal of facilities like windows and tube light have elapsed far back. The facilities here are very old and the only modern thing here is a washing machines which is to be used by 64 people and it constantly gets complain for which you need to wait weeks on end to get proper maintenance .
Faculty: The correction of exams and lenience is dependent on your professors and most of them do indeed give marks for attempted questions and also step marks. Still the exams especially Maths is really difficult if you are like me and only start studying one week before exams.
