Hi Aspirant!

The college can be compared on the facilities and placements.According to NIRF ranking we consider its facilities and exposure.The NIRF ranking of NIT Rourkela is 16, NIT Warangal 19, NIT Calicut 23,DTU 36.

As you have interest in Computer Science/Coding then in this case college does not matter as in this field only your skills matter.But the better college on NIRF ranking can provide you best/more opportunities to explore.

Now on the basis on placements the average package of NIT Rourkela is 15.18LPA,NIT Warangal 13.3LPA,NIT Calicut 8 LPA,DTU has 16LPA.

Hence on the basis of Placements DTU is best.I still recommend you to go for NIT Rourkela because it provides you more opportunities than DTU.

I hope it helps.

Happy Hustling!

If you are not dead interested in CSE, I believe Metallurgical Engineering at NIT Rourkela would be a good choice. Metallurgical Engineering besides Chemical Engineering are two of the most student friendly branches having a structured curriculum.

Effectively the course is such that you get enough time to learn new skills and masters technologies besides keeping up with the curriculum. Secondly NIT Rourkela being one of the older technical institutes has a rich campus life and culture, infrastructure, faculty, research facilities as well as an excellent outlook. Companies like GE Aviation, Tata Steel, Vedanta, Tata Motors, Jindal Stainless, Reliance, Hindalco are regular recruiters from Dept. Of Metallugical Engineering at NIT Rourkela.

NIT ROUKELA being near mineral rich regions of Odisha and Jharkhand further provide impetus in training and placements.However if you are seriously interested in CSE, you can always prefer IIIT Sricity over NIT Rourkela.
