NIT Rourkela is a decent college.

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.

NITian story from distance.

Infrastructure: All the hostels have LAN connections, so you just have to install a router and get free internet. The hostel has a study room, gym, badminton court, basketball court, etc. The hostel food is the worst, but initially, the food was the best; the taste degraded over time.

It is a very good college.

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.

Best facilities are in our college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is very good and newly painted. Most of the area is green, both inside and outside the college. 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.

I'm very glad to get a seat in this college; the placements are really good.

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.

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.

NIT Rourkela: One of the best engineering colleges.

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 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...
