What Students Say

Likes

Campus size, greenery, morning and night walks
Mentors that support and guide you become what you want.
Clubs who let you do some projects of your own that you can also mention in your CV

Dislikes

Attendance criteria that is very high as per me
Lack of funding from SAC, some clubs fail due to lack of funds.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Course curriculum is much better than any other state engineering colleges, however you will find better situation in IITs. You can apply for IITs if you qualify JEE advanced. Also mechanical branch has much population so you can also try any other and new branches. I have seen my friends in Biotechnology and Food processing also getting equal opportunity by they have less course load.

Class Size: 144Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I haven't yet done any internship but have will be doing some during next summer break. Almost same companies offer internship which come there for placements. Also, some companies have branch criteria as an eligibilty.

Placement Experience

3.5

Students of final year are eligible for campus placement. Many different companies visit for different branches. For mechanical tvs, Bajaj, Suzuki etc come for placements. Some BPCL like PSUs also hire from campus.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees are generally stable and don't change much accept the mess charges. You may avail many scholarships like I got FFE scholarship in my 1st year and it helps me a lot in my fee payment. You may also get student loan from the bank. Job at campus is difficult, but you may get internship during winter and summer at other institutions.

Campus Life

Innovision, nitrutsav, cosmopolitan etc. almost every month there is something happening. You can get books from library almost any book that's related to course and related. I don't know about others so no comments on them. There are a lot of clubs you may find about them on nitrkl website.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel is good, mess food is also edible and sometimes tasty too . Generally people prefer hostel because campus is too big to regularly come for class from outside PG or room. Registration process is done along with the admission.

Hostel Fee: INR 10000 per year

Admission

It happens through jee mains exam and it's score. I got 98%ile and then counseling round happened and I got my branch as mechanical at NITR and was my favourite so I locked it in 3rd round. Application form is available on NTA for JEE mains.

Our college has hosted International Conferences like IEEE InGAARS 2025and Indocrypt 2025, where scientists had came from NASA, ISRO, all IITs, Foreign Universities, etc
Exposure is Good. The teachers here put efforts to teach and research. Unlike other colleges where teachers comes and roll out PPTs, here every teacher teaches on Board explaining everything properly

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 professor who taught in our class they are taught is best In teaching.

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

I am in a good NIT, it also means I was a JEE aspirant once so its natural I was also willing like others to get into a good IIT. But due to poor performance in JEE advanced, I have to get into NIT Rourkela, one of the best NITs. I also thought of other NITs but as it is very near to my house of residence, I prefered studying here . Also the placement stats are very good here ....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
