NIT Rourkela - National Institute of Technology Answered Questions

Hi,
It actually depends solely on your interest and place of residence but if you would go by institute then chemical engineering at NIT-Warangal is better. However, if you don't prefer chemical then I would suggest EE in NIT-Raipur.
I would suggest you to refer the syllabus of both the disciplines. Whichever you are interested in learning, you go ahead with that one.
NIT-Rourkela is also doing good enough so you can surely join there as it gives a very good scope for students in extracurricular activities and study is also extraordinary. Moreover, it has a nice curriculum with awesome placements and a good package.
It has some good professors and you can get all the required help and guidance if you try honestly for any project and research you want to do.
Just don't get so stressed and think of what you want to pursue and do that. It will help you to achieve your dreams and success.
All the best and have a very enlightening and bright future ahead.
Thank you!

Just as I have been dealing with each and every question related to foreign placements, a college can only play a small part in fetching you a foreign placement by attracting some of the foreign companies to their college during the placement season, but they are just a few in number.
Other than that, considering the multinational companies, their decision to make you work at which job location is based on many internal factors, although they do give your option a little preference.
The factors being, vacancy in the job location of your choice, the projects going on at the job location that matches your profile and the company's requirement.
Now to answer your question, yes, there are a number of students getting placed abroad every year, but they are the ones having extraordinary profiles.
Simply a National Institute of Technology cannot guarantee you a job abroad.
Hence, as of now, you should consider making your college life meaningful rather than concentrating on foreign placements.
I hope this helps. Cheers.

Hello,
The placements of NIT-Rourkela, mining department is really commendable in terms of placements and curriculum, where as on the other hand, VSSUT-Burla CSE is not extraordinary and promises just one mass recruiter and handful of IT companies. Still I would say if you have interest in CSE, then go for it because interest should be prioritized more than any other factor.
Regards.

Hello,
The placements of NIT-Rourkela for M.Tech biomedical are quite decent. Many analytics and coaching institutes recruit from our college. Talking about the department, it has ample laboratories to enhance your knowledge but only a handful of core companies visit for campus selection. On the contrary, NIT-Rourkela is extending its placement premises to Bhubaneshwar in order to have an airport connectivity with Big Core Firms related to biomedical engineering.

Yes, you can try for several branches like biomedical, biotechnology, integrated M.Sc; you can opt for internal sliding to move to other courses after central counseling. This year NIT-Rourkela is introducing the branch change option after first year. If you are particularly interested in one branch and can maintain a CGPA of 8.5 and above, you will stand a good chance of getting upgraded to a branch of your choice.
