    All about NIT Rourkela.
    Placements: Almost 90% of students got placed in the institute last year. The highest salary package offered was 80 LPA, and the average salary package offered was 20 LPA. The median salary package offered was 21.6 LPA. Most students secured internships in many companies like Paypal, Razorpay, etc., in their third year. Top roles offered were software roles, BFSI, and management roles.
    Infrastructure: Many facilities like music room, gym, reading room, and TV Room are available in hostel along with WI-FI facility. The food facilities are average. Every necessary facility like canteen, medical items, and even sports items are provided which are of good quality.
    Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and highly knowledgeable. However, their teaching methods are not appropriate for all students. Course curriculum is not industry-relevant and is quite outdated. However, many subjects are introduced in the important third year. Semester exams are quite difficult.
    Other: I chose this course because I got Computer Science branch in the college. Subjects that are present in the curriculum are not fit for the industry. Campus crowd is the best part of the college as every student is quite smart. Fests like Cosmo, Innovision, Vriddhi, and Nitrutsav are conducted throughout the year.

    NIT Rourkela: One of the best engineering colleges.
    Placements: Most probably from the 3rd year, you are eligible for campus placement and many companies like Google, Infosys, TCS, Amazon, and Reliance visit NIT Rourkela. The highest package this year, which is 1.2 crore, is from the Electronics and Communication branch. The average package of NIT Rourkela is around 11 to 12 LPA, and 90% of students get placed in NIT Rourkela. In most of the cases, the non-placed students opt for higher studies and that’s the reason they did not go for placement.
    Infrastructure: In the first year, you may feel that many subjects are not important for your core field or branch, but you may get help from those subjects later in your life. The curriculum at NIT Rourkela is very good, and the course will help you to know other branches also. The hostel is very big, but the rooms may feel small for two people. The mess food is good, with a 7-day, 7-different menu. The gym and sports facilities are also good, as they are present in the hostel, and the medical facilities are also good.
    Faculty: All the faculty members are very good and try to reach every student and help them. After teaching, they try to ask each and every student whether they have understood or not. The classrooms are big and well-accustomed. In every semester, you will have two exams: one mid-semester exam, which is of 30 marks, and another end-semester exam, which will consist of 50 marks and the rest 20 marks will be the TA marks, which will be given by the faculty members based on your class performance. The passing marks in the semester are 5 CGPA.
    Other: My course, B. Tech in Mining Engineering is a good course with 57 students in my batch, and mining is one of the important core sectors. In NIT Rourkela, there is almost 100% placement in many engineering branches, and the average package lies between 10 to 12 LPA. There are many events and fests in NIT Rourkela, and they are organized very well. There are several cultural clubs that you can join based on your hobby or interest. The campus is fully lush green, with lots of trees and happiness.

Our department is the best because we get all the facilities from them, like exam books, internet connections, Wi-Fi and clean classrooms. Hostel food is good.
    Faculty: Teachers are well trained and have more years of experience in teaching. They are well qualified from top-reputed colleges. The teaching facilities in our college, especially in our courses, are very good.

    Wholesome package at NITR.
    Placements: Almost everyone gets placed as long as they avoid backlogs and maintain good discipline. This year, the highest package offered was 85 LPA, while the median package was 20+ LPA, and the lowest package was 6.5 LPA. Top tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft visited the campus, offering high packages. Other companies like AMEX also provided impressive opportunities. A compulsory 8-week internship in the third year ensures students gain valuable industry exposure. Many internships led to PPOs, with roles ranging from junior team positions to high-level positions for students excelling in their domains.
    Infrastructure: Hostels are well-equipped with facilities like free Wi-Fi, study rooms, game rooms, and 24/7 canteens. However, the mess food quality is a concern, though recent reforms are improving it.
    Faculty: The faculty emphasizes practical learning over theoretical knowledge, ensuring students acquire workplace-ready skills. The curriculum has been updated following NEP guidelines. However, some students find certain first-year subjects, like Safety Engineering for CSE or AIML for Civil students, irrelevant. Academics are strict, with an 85% attendance policy. Passing marks are 35 out of 100 for theory and 40 out of 100 for practicals.
    Other: NIT Rourkela has significantly improved its CSE curriculum, incorporating industry-level training and internship opportunities. Starting CS fundamentals from the first semester would further benefit students. The college encourages leadership and collaboration through numerous student clubs under the Student Activity Centre. Regular fests, including technical, cultural, sports, and ethnic events, enhance the vibrant campus life.

    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.
