We, desparates in NIT Rourkela .

Placements: NIT Rourkela started Architecture branch in year 2013. So till now there are very less number of alumnis from this branch. And there are only 20 seats there. Most of the students from architecture branch get off campus placements. It's easier to get internship here as compared to other colleges and as you know it's 9th ranked architectural college in India.

Infrastructure: The new architecture building is under construction. And now we have studios and classrooms are in another building. Infrastructure wise it's good and college provides lot of opportunities here. As a 1st year student, we live in VS hostel, and infrastructure wise it's a good hostel having more than 1000 students. It has all the facilities like gym, badminton, table tennis, night and day canteen.

Faculty: Faculty members are student friendly. They help us in academics. They are well educated and experienced. But NIT RKL study curriculum is little bit outdated. Faculty members are highly experienced and very well versed in their respective subjects. They are very helpful towards the students in every aspect. The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:15. There are majorly 2 exams named midsemester and endsemester.

Review of NIT Rourkela - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: As ours is a professional course, a lot of people go for higher studies. Around 4 students sat for placements in the previous year, and they all got placed in L&T company. I don't have any idea about the salary packages offered. As of now, our department students are getting placed in L&T company only.

Infrastructure: I am highly satisfied with the infrastructure of our campus. The hostel is provided with LAN connections for internet. We have very well-equipped labs for practicals and experiments. The mess is also very good, and all types of Indian foods are served, and students are happy with the food menu.

Faculty: The course curriculum is very relevant, and our course teachers are also very good. Teaching is very good. They teach in a very detailed manner apart from the theoretical part because the experimental part helps us to gain more knowledge.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to do designing. I like doing designs and planning things. It would be better if we get a permanent departmental building for our course and it would better if we have more number of intakes. I can proudly say that an NIT Rourkela is one of the prestigious institutes which exclusively conducts a lot of fests respectively for the literacy, technical and sports societies.
