Remarks

It is the best. Hence in 1st rank among the top most colleges(NITs) in India.

Entrance Preview

AIEEE, All India Rank 12443. I got Chemical Engineering in NIT Rourkela based on my rank. Hence opted the same.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

1st year was really good as courses are similar to 12th. However in successive years it became boring. So many chemical processes, equations, reaction you need to understand and remember. Sometimes I found really difficult to remember. However in last year few interesting courses added up in syllabus which were good.

Internships Opportunities

Core companies Like IOCL, SAIL, Coal India, Schlumberger, HPCL. Software Companies: Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, Yahoo They offered internships during our periods. There are many others companies too.

Placement Experience

4.5

It was really good. 200% achieved i can say. Few people were having 3 companies offer at the same time. Perfectly organised by Placement department.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees were pretty decent. Per year 14k, Dont remember the exact figures Hostel fees : 1.2 k per month Apart from these there were no additional fees during my periods. however these fees were changed as of now.

Fees and Financial Aid

I have not availed it. Hence not sure about the same. But yes heard about few scholarships for SC/ST students.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus Life: those were the best days of my life. Awesome ground, gym, swimming pool with flood lights facilities. You can play all the sports irrespective of day or night. Superb campus.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

I can say Hotel not Hostel. NIT Rourkela has only hotel for their students not hostel. Big rooms, excellent facilities, superb food. No problem with water, electricity even though during hot seasons. The fees which they were charging were worth of it. Also free WIFI and 24 hrs Computer Common room access.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni Network is pretty huge.I am currently working in Bangalore. Every year we have an Alumni meet in Bangalore. It was really good and a huge number of people joined this event.

Exam Structure

2 Exams per year. Mid Semester End Semester However Class test and Practical are few extra tests which were also part of the curriculum.

Faculty

Most of the faculties are from NITs and IITs. Hence standard was pretty good. Yes few of them were really strict to their curriculum which made problem for few relaxed students.

Our college has hosted International Conferences like IEEE InGAARS 2025and Indocrypt 2025, where scientists had came from NASA, ISRO, all IITs, Foreign Universities, etc

Dislikes

Few teachers speak in Odia accent, so it takes couple weeks to adjust
Campus is kind of small (36acres), but its good area for a IIIT, considering IIIT delhi is just 25 acres
3 occupancy hostels for 1st years (same goes for any other NIT/IIIT), but they have a option of single rooms from 2nd year

Placement Experience:

from 6th sem, students are eligible almost 100 companies visited including IBM, VISA, Infosys, DE Shaw etc. Highest is 63 LPA and avg is 12-13LPA 90% placements I may consider doing MBA if I dont get very big package

The campus is very vast, and you have to walk for every minute of work.
The are very serious about your study and what you are doing
The gate get closed if you get came late even it's 5-10 minute late.

Placement Experience:

It's good as many company come but the placement directly depend on your study and hard work of your 4 year and a pre placement also conduct in 3rd year where you can also get placed. For placement the student should secure 8-10 cgpa for sit in interview exam.

Honest and Genuine review of NIT Rourkela

So I choose these college over the others because of its relevant name and the hype of this college In India as It is Institute of national importance And also a government backed college and it is one of the most demanded college. So the colleges which I have applied to are DTU, NSUT, Nit Trichy, Nit Warangal, Nit Surat Kal And top 7 iits. No I was not rejected from the other college which I have applied to but the combination of branching and the college value Doesn't satisfied me for taking admission in that colleges. So the admission process for the Nit Rourkela Is that the eligibility criteria is 75% in 12th class And second criteria is to clear the entrance exam which is the JEE mains and also scoring a very good marks in it. Then by the centralised Josaa Counselling student will fill their choices ,lock and get allotments in the upcoming rounds of the josaa counselling. The ending rank to take admission in this college in the EC branch is about a 6000-7000 rank in the jee mains exam for the other state people. The Admission steps include 1)register and appear for jee mains 2) Get jee rank and register on the Josaa Portal 3) Fill college and branch choices 4) seat allotment in rounds; upload documents and pay seat acceptance fees 5) final admission after physical document verification at Nit Rourkela....Read More

Discovering NIT Rourkela

I chose NIT rourkela based on my JEE rank, as this was the highest rated college I could get.It had good placements, had a high NIRF ranking and in comparsion to my other choices was the clear winner. The admission process takes place through JOSSA counselling for B.Tech.After being alloted a college on site registration takes place followed by hostel allocation and branch admission , a procedure that lasts about 6-10 hours. To avail admission you need to have a good JEE Main rank for which previous year cutoffs are available on the internet....Read More

Internship-first step to placement.

The course requires us to clear jee mains in which the cutoff is above 90 percentile for general category. The form is found on NTA website and fees is about 1000 rs for general category. The exam happens twice in a year and by difficulty level is pretty descent...with maths the hardest and toughest. College must give proper admission details in their website during admission process....Read More
