The internship opportunities are offered by many MNCs like Microsoft, Google , Amazon etc. The stipends offered range from 1 to 2 lakhs per month in the summer season. The projects are done with the faculties and in industry corporate exposure is given

Placement Experience

4.5

From 7th semester onwards students are eligible for the preplacement offers by companies. Many companies like aditya birla , adani groups , Sri Chaitanya , reliance , Nomura bank , TCS , cognizant and Amazon visited the campus . The highest package offered was around 1 crore per annum. Around 70% student get placement. I am planning to opt for placements in a good company.

Fees and Financial Aid

I will be paying 1 lakh per year. In the first semester while counselling process 40000 is needed to be deposited as seat acceptance fee. For students of SC / ST Categories academic fees is completely waived off and they pay only hostel & mess fees. institute also provides fee waiver on basis of parental income. For students having parental income between 1 and 5 lakhs then 66.67% tuition fees is waived off . For students having parental income less than 1 lakh the complete tuition fees is waived off.

Campus Life

4.5

The annual techfest is called innovision .the library is so huge and holds more than 50000 books and is air conditioned. The class rooms are well equipped with all the modern facilities. The institute has many student run clubs like coding club , book club etc. .

Hostel Facilities

The hostel room has its own mess inside it . The room has charging points , two beds , two tubelights , one fan and one table for two people in double occupancy. The hostel registration takes place on the same day of admission.

Hostel Fee: INR 10000 per year

Admission

Nit Rourkela has its own brand value hence choosing that can bring me great career opportunities. The admission is done by jee mains and to get here by home state quota around 95%le or 150 marks is needed in jee mains. Most people opt here from home state quota. For other state students the cutoff ranges from 98%le to 99%le.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty student ration is around 1:20 but varies from department to department. All the faculties have their own academic offices and are approachable during office hours. I liked professor gopal krishna panda for his unique style of teaching. Around 5 exams are taken and assignments are given weightage. Out of 3 quizzes best of 2 is taken into count. Mid semester and end semester exams are mandatory and carry highest weightage together.

Other Applied Colleges

College of Engineering and Technology - [CET] | Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] + Master of Science [M.Sc] (Mathematics and Computing)

Nit Rourkela has the brand value much more than other colleges

Decent faculty and top tier placements, just follow the rules

Likes

I like the vibe of the canteen and greenery around my college

Dislikes

I don't like 75% attendance and the strictness of the faculty members

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is now updated since it became a University, so its more relevant to industry now but still we have to do extra courses for coding. Exams happen every few months—2 internals and one end-sem. They are not very easy, you actually need to study to pass without backlogs

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
