Honestly dear Computer Science Engineering is such a stream, everyone is aiming to get this course. But there are other courses like Ceramic , Biotechnology etc. that can be equally important as that of CSE. Out of the options that you chose Biotechnology has the best placements considering the ongoing trends. But if you want to pursue your higher studies in future then Biomedical and Industrial Design gives you immense scope for that. Since it's NIT ROURKELA don't miss this chance , because placements are very good in that Campus. Instead of running for CSE, be ready and choose the one you prefer.

Good luck!!

Hi Ankit!

First of all, congratulations for clearing JEE Mains, hard work pays off!!

NIT Rourkela is considered among one of the top institutions for engineering. It has all the facilities such as digital classrooms, library, sports, internet, hostel, well-equipped labs etc. Faculty members are also master in their subjects. Placement record is around 90-95% in the top recruiting companies such as oracle, google, amazon, IBM, microsoft etc.

As you mentioned that you have 2 years academic gap now, many companies open the window for students having upto 2 years academic gap means you will not face any trouble while sitting for placement. But during interview you might be asked about this academic gap so just be prepared with the honest answers for their questions.

Thankyou!

See both of the colleges are very good. So comparing this two colleges on the traditional parameters isn't significant. The right strategy is that you should take the college which offers the course of your interest. If you are interested in IT then go for DTU and if you are interested about ECE you should go for NIT Rourkela.

Now if you want to choose about the course which will give you a better prospect or a salary then I would say you can go for IT. See the average package you will get at Rourkeela ECE will be similar to that of DTU IT placements. But as you know if you do IT then you will better options to go for big corporates. So if you want to see yourself as software developer or in any IT then I would recommend you to go for IT as it will give you a better prospect compared to ECE.

**Before deciding I would highly recommend you to do some research and try to find out your true interest.

Hello Aspirant,

As we go through the latest cut-offs of JEE-Main 2020 of JOSAA 6th round then it shows that :-

Closing ST rank for NIT Rourkela was :-

• Civil Engineering branch - 2145 (Home state quota)

And your ST rank is expected to be around 7000-8000

So you have quite low or almost no chances to get NIT Rourkela with Civil engineering branch even if you have Home state quota.

But yes if you improve your percentile in any further session of JEE-Main like around 91+ then you might have a shot at NIT Rourkela with Civil branch.

Hi there,

Master of Science(Chemistry) is a two-year postgraduate course that offers deep knowledge in the field of chemistry. Coming to your point of comparison between two different NIT's.

See, I would suggest you go with the NIT tricky because it has amazing placement and good academic with campus life. However, I am mentioning both of these colleges solely.

NIT Trichy

• Establishment year: 1961
• Offers 10 specialisations in M.Sc
• Less fees as compared to NIT Rourkela
• Exams Accepted: IIT JAM, CCMN
• Good placement ratio with a median salary

NIT Rourkela

• Established year: 1964
• Offers 13 specializations in M.Sc
• Comparatively highest fees structure for two years.
• Exams Accepted: IIT JAM, CCMN
• Good placement ratio.

The AAverage salary offered in NIT Trichy is equal to 6.40LPA while in the case of NIT Rourkela it is equal to 6.10 LPA.

After all, everything depends upon the rank secured by the candidate in the main exams.

Thank you!!
