- The fests conducted in our college are worth enjoying and marvelous talent is encouraged.
- No fees hike policy.cost to study is a bit high for a government organisation but it's worth it.scholarship opportunities financial assistance and job opportunities are very satisfactory over here.

- The scholarship availability should not be below 5 lakh.. it should be a larger number beacuse 5 lakh income is lower income than a lower middle class family.
- The faculty advisor is a very rude and strict person who doesn't understand the student's problems.
- Placements for lower branches are not that good and being a remote area more companies are not coming to college

- One of the thing that I liked was Club/Society Culture at NIT Rourkela, there are several societies here at NIT Rourkela where one can get Involved for their Professional development.
- The Campus of NIT Rourkela is one of the most among all NITs. The campus is so vast that one can't roam around without a cycle.
- Almost Every sport facility is present at NIT Rourkela including a Swimming Pool, Cricket Ground, Basketball Ground e.t.c
Dislikes
- One of the things that I disliked is that if you are coming from a city background, you will not feel good in Rourkela. Rourkela is not so developed city where you can find several Clubs and Malls.
- The teaching methodology of the Professors is not good too. Same as other Nits and IITs you will get only the old Syllabus.
Placement Experience:
Talking about the placements of my college, they are pretty good. In 2023 the average package for chemical engineering was around 12.9 LPA,which is comparable to other Top NITs. Generally, companies start coming for the placements after the start of the 4th year. Last time there were around 1300 offers were given to 1075 students and 200 companies visited. The highest Package was 1.2 Crore. For our branch, 97 % of students got placed last year.

What is your review of National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (NIT-RKL)?
Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi
A friend at NIT Rourkela gave me a detailed review of her college the last time she visited me. Here are some highlights from her descriptive experience
- NIT Rourkela has a huge, serene, and well-secured campus.
- The institute has diverse clubs that promote extracurricular activities and their performance is better than most clubs of other engineering colleges.
- Decent Internet speed is offered and the Dc++ is well maintained.
- The hostels are well-maintained and decked with all the basic amenities one could ask for.
- Students are actively involved in sports such as gymming and swimming.
- The faculties are a mixed bag. Some are underqualified and lethargic while some motivate you to become a better person.
- The institute boasts of an extensive entrepreneurship culture.
- The institute needs to work on increasing its alumni base and the level of fests it organizes given the huge income the institute generates.
- The placement scenario varies from branch to branch. It's decent for branches like CS while pathetic for others.
- Rourkela does not have any places to explore and also lacks flight connectivity.
- The city of Rourkela is one of the cleanest places so hygiene is not an issue here.
These were some snippets from the detailed experience shared by my friend. Hope this helped you.
