Hello,

You cannot get NIT, ROURKELA with this much rank. Your rank are too high in sc category,  as per previous year reports sc category cutoffs are close around 8k for the lower most branch in spot round selection and if you have CRL 1.6lakh then you have no chances of getting into any NIT.  Try other college or take a year drop and prepare well and good. You can also apply for state counseling,  but chances for govt seat are much less.

All the best

Hi,

If we go by last year cutoffs, with a sc rank of 8857 it will be slightly difficult for you to get into NIT Rourkela, unless you have a home state quota. Cutoffs tend to vary every year. Here are some of the branches at NIT Rourkela, where the closing rank from last year was close to your rank and you might have a chance of getting this year, if cutoffs are eased a bit.

In 2021, NIT Rourkela accepted upto (home state quota) -

• Rank 7322 for Ceramic Engineering

• Rank 7643 for Biomedical Engineering

• Rank 8121 for Food Processing Engineering

hello aspirant

With the above mentioned rank in SC category in JEE mains and according to the previous year JEE mains Cutoff data, you have difficult chances to get low branches in NIT rourkela even with the Home state quota. The previous year jee mains Cutoff for Biomedical Engineering (the lowest Branch) in NIT rourkela for SC category students was around 7643, for Home State, and for Other state the cutoff was 4721. So, with the above rank you have difficult chanecs of getting any low branch in NIT rourkela.

But do not worry as you can get admission in other Low ranked NIT's if you have the home state quota for those colleges. Secondly, you can also take admission in many of the good state level engineering colleges in State Counselling because these state colleges are much better than most of the Low-ranked NIT's as well.

Dear aspirant!

Hope you are doing well !

Mechanical Engineering is the best branch at NIT Rourkela in terms of placements, and Faculty. Computer Science and Engineering can be the second branch in terms of placements though the teaching standards is not so good. But the research facilities are very good.

also ,,,In my point of view civil engineering at NIT rourkela is a better choice . Placements: There is average placement in civil engineering department.

hello aspirant,

You can choose any of the above colleges and their respective branches as they all are one of the prestigious colleges of India.

But if you ask me, I would suggest you to go for NIT rourkela or MNNIT allahabad as they are one of the best and top NIT's in India according to the NIRF ranking. but for that you have to sacrifice your favourite branches because honestly, the placements opportunities in Biotechnology and ceramic is not very good. Similarly if you have to get for good branch like ECE you must take INMIIT as the placements for ECE is considered to be much higher as compared to Biotechnology and Ceramic. So, I think that you must go for Ceramic Engineering in NIT rourkela as the placements are also nice in this college for Biotechnology.

Further, to know more about the Ceramic branch in NIT rourkela, you can follow the below mentioned link to know more : https://www.careers360.com/university/national-institute-of-technology-rourkela/btech-ceramic-engineering-course

I hope that this will help.

Hello,

Obviously, NIT Rourkela. Great Placement and Good Faculty with large alumni base.

Students can learn coding alongside mechanical engineering with ease in mechanical engineering because of better peer groups and the college's culture, which is only observed in the best IITs and NITs. Because of this, students studying civil engineering at prestigious NITs or old IITs frequently become excellent coders and obtain fantastic jobs. You should always keep in mind that the CEO of Google is a graduate of an old IIT's metallurgical department. Therefore, don't assume that studying mechanical/metallurgical engineering will just qualify you as a mechanical/core engineer. All students who are proficient in coding and data algorithms are welcome to apply to most software-related placement companies.

Good Luck!!

Greetings !

So let's evaluate your situation, NIT Rourkela is a better college, and CSE is a better branch, and you already know this. So let's get to the point

In your particular case I would have gone for SVNIT CSE if I would have been at your place, and I would suggest you to do the same if you don't have any affinity for Electrical or any phobia of CSE. It is because SVNIT is a fairly decent NIT and possess decent enough reputation, so you aren't going to feel disappointed by it at any point.

Now the thing you need to note here is, that it just my recommendation, and is subjected to the assumption that you have no particular affinity to any subject, if you have then I would highly recommend you to go with that subject...

Dear Student ,

As per last year cut off details of JEE MAIN 2021 after 6th round of JoSAA counselling , you have good chances to get NIT Rourkela with your AIR in OBC- NCL pwd category :

• Civil Engineering-272
• Electrical Engineering-268
• Mechanical Engineering-330
• Metallurgical and Materials Engineering  -691

But let me remind you that the above cut off can't predict your admission chances accurately as each year the cut off can change due to some unavoidable factors like :

• Seat Availability
• Difficulty level of exams
• No of students appeared in the exam etc.

You can check previous year OR and CR for JEE MAIN, refer this :
