I'm very glad to get a seat in this college; the placements are really good.
Placements: The placements are pretty good when compared to past years. I think almost 85 percent of the students are getting good placements, as well as internships. In the mechanical branch, the highest package is 83 LPA and the average package is 15 LPA.
Infrastructure: Due to it being one of the oldest colleges, the hostel infrastructure is not so good, but the infrastructure for the course is good for students, though it won't be very helpful to our future. Medical facilities and the library are good. The mess food quality is not so good.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, but not all of them. According to their teaching, I thought that some of them are not well-qualified for the course they have to teach. I'm not ready to tell you whether the teaching is good or bad because some of our faculty members are new to the campus, but the experienced faculty members are good at teaching.
Other: I'm basically a mechanical engineer. I wish for you to earn some good skills that can help you in the future. The fests in our college are good for the students who belong to the home state.

Solid academics with dedicated faculty, and gives us better placement opportunities.
Placements: As you know, I'm a student at the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. In my college, there are many talented students who are very good at studies and are very friendly with each other. In my college, most students get placed in campus placements, and the percentage of students who get placed is about 90 to 95 percent. The remaining students start their own businesses or stop studying. Software companies offer more placements, and CSE and ECE students get placed more in my college.
Infrastructure: As I'm a student of the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, in my hostels, there is a good supply of Wi-Fi, and the canteens are always open. The mess food is very good, and medical facilities are available every single time. If we get an injury or fall sick, they will check and give us free medicine. If we are more serious, they shift us to the nearby hospital for our well-being and take care of us every time. In my college, the infrastructure and facilities are very good. My college is very good at infrastructure, labs, classrooms, etc. Yes, in my college, our faculty members are very helpful.
Faculty: Yes, in my college, our faculty members are very talented and very helpful to us. Our teachers are very helpful and are highly knowledgeable. Their teaching skills are excellent, and they work day and night for us. If we have any doubts, they will clarify them for us, and they are very helpful. And yes, they make students industry-ready. In my college, the semester exams are very tough, and through this, they assess our talent and performance in academics. Most students pass the exams, and the passing percentage is 40 percent, maybe.

Absolutely dissatisfied with faculty ! And placements are average, you'll only get a degree !
Placements: Well, placements of this college was very average only few of the batchmates will secure placements and the minimum salary of 3lpa which is like 25k per month this is not expected from a top tier NIT ! For mechanical students here in NIT Rourkela the average is around 6-8 LPA and the highest goes around 15lpa in the core jobs. The highest package mentioned in website are somewhat fake because it? S the package of a mechanical student who attended no core placements and coming to internship out 115-120 students only 1-2 will be selected for internship!
Infrastructure: For first years, the infrastructure of the hostel was way too bad It? S not even painted for 4-5 years ! Very small rooms are allocated to 2 people the rooms actually made for only one however they gave to two people and the Wi-Fi they don? T provide any outer we have to buy they just give a LAN port and drinking water facility in hostel only one purifier in block which is no good And the infrastructure of college and academic area was good no complain ! Library is well-equipped no issues.
Faculty: There are mixed up reviews on faculty ! Some are good some are literally not eligible even for teaching in the first semester we ended up wafting YouTube to study that? S how bad the faculty was ! The semester exams were a little tough and majority of the class passes except 5-10% of people !
Other: Well, here in Rourkela many of the faculty are based! They show partiality to Odisha students, they give more marks to them ! The events are very good in the college by the way ! The campus is very close to city which helps us a lot.

Why should you join NITR?
Placements: Around 80% of students were placed, with the highest package of 1.2cr from the ECE branch. For the mechanical branch, the highest package offered was 31 LPA, the average was 12 LPA, and the lowest was 5.5 LPA. The college average was 13.43 LPA, and the lowest package was 3.3 LPA. For a detailed analysis, one can visit the NIT Rourkela website.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in most of the hostels; still, some have LAN ports, and you can use those to create your own Wi-Fi. Labs are well maintained, and all required equipment and materials are available. The library not only has hard-copy books but also has access to more than 2000 online research papers and books.
Faculty: You have to pace a little according to the professor. Students become industry-ready as there are a lot of clubs associated with particular branches, like ASME, ASCE, AIChE, etc. Semester exams are a little bit difficult. All professors are highly qualified and knowledgeable.
Other: In NITR, various fests are organized, and out of these, 4 major fests are held: INNOVISION - THE TECH FEST, COSMOPOLITAN - THE MULTI-ETHNIC FEST, VRIDHHI - THE SPORTS FEST, and ROOTS.

Most memories in college are awesome.
Placements: In our course, almost 80 percent of the students get placed every year. The highest package offered goes up to 75 lacs, and the lowest is 6-7 LPA, with an average package of around 18 LPA. Many popular companies visit for hiring. A huge number of students also get internship offers. Top roles include CAD development and CNC machine operator.
Infrastructure: Many facilities are provided in the course, along with the research facilities. Labs and classrooms are well-maintained. There is a huge library on the campus. Hostel rooms are small considering the triple sharing concept. Food quality is good but gets monotonous after a while. All kinds of sports and gyms are available on campus. The quality of food in the hostel is good.
Faculty: Teachers here are very qualified in their respective fields. They are very helpful in answering doubts. Their teaching quality is great as well. Many teachers are Ph.D. holders and are very experienced. Exams are conducted very strictly, and you can get good marks if you study from the first day. Forty percent is the pass percentage. We have two internals and one end-of-semester exam. Exams are hard to pass, but they teach us in an understanding way, so we pass. Last year, 64% passed.
