- The campus is good and Greenery is there
- Hostel are decent and the occupancy is not more than 2 person
- Many clubs are there for your overall development
Dislikes
- Things I disliked was the attendance scenario, in online reviews you'll see that the attendance percentage is 85% but in reality it's actually 87.5-90% which is just too much and infact you'll be hearing that in orientation
- Resources are not that much the quantity of the required machines is not up to the mark for almost all the departments, for each group there will be only one machine and you'll have to wait a lot for your turn
- Academic pressure is actually too much and i have heard this from almost everyone, you don't get leave easily even if you're too much sick, mostly professors are not good and not supportive and understanding
Student Snaps:
Course Curriculum Overview:
Course is decent however the course of nit rourkela is more harder than the courses of other nits i mean the exams are more harder than other colleges, other than that there are some extra elective courses regardless of any all the branches which can be helpful to increase the gpa and talking about the Mining department, the quantity of machine's are very less and the professors are mostly not good

Course Curriculum Overview:
Biomedical engineering is a highly emerging field after the recent outburst of covid virus recently. Our curriculum prepares us for the industry-level standards by performing labs and demonstrations on industry-level equipment like ECG, EMG, Electron Microscope, Atomic force microscope, EEG ( brain signal reading ), etc. The teaching method of the professors is very great. Our curriculum is a little outdated and it also needs to consider the advancement the recent technologies like the use of AI and new machine learning algorithms in the biomedical field.
There are 2 major exams each semester. One is the mid-semester exam and the other is the end-semester exam. Apart from these, there can be various other class tests and assignments which is completely based on professor-to-professor.
