Hey!

there are two parts in this answer. 1st is about comparing 2 colleges. 2nd is about course and placements. i would like to answer it from my point of view.

nit rourkela is a prestigious college. on the otehr hand iitdm kanchi is no way inferior. it is also a good college with good reputation. nit and iitdm both are cosly. one or the other way, they are costly. so it now depends completely on course and placements.

metallurgy is a growing branch, thus you could take up masters and then phd and go in research field so that you get a prestigious life. wherein cse is a branch which is in demand among students, which directly implies that there is going to be lack of jobs in the forth coming years. though there are lots of companies, getting a high paid job is difficult. where as in metallurgy, you can assure yourself of getting a job in top companies like, tata steels, sail etc. so there is no lack of jobs in metallurgy. there is a demand indeed.

if you have enough knowledge in metallurgy subject, you have a lot of jobs in foreign too. even in cse, if you have a lot of knowledge, then you might get placed in infosys, wipro and other top companies

so now its upto you to choose. no course is inferior. if you have enough knowledge, you shine. no one stops you from that.

i hope this helps you.

feel free to ask any doubts in the comments

Dear student,

If you are determined to get cse branch in top nit, then you must secure a rank under 500 in jee mains ( let's assume from general category), then you have to work very hard. And you must score at least above 80% aggregate of total marks.

So, that means if you want to secure a rank of under 500 from general category and grab cse branch in nit rourkela or other top nits, then your percentile score must be greater than 99.95, and for that you have to score at least above 240 marks in jee mains.

Hey there
The Placement for 2014-2018 (present) batch is good. Last year the placement was average (2013-2017) was average. This year around 80-85 % of the students registered were placed in their desired engineering stream. The highest salary was around 25 LPA and the lowest was around 3 LPA. Placements are mostly Offered by mass recruiter Companies like Microsoft,Infosys, Goldmann Sachs, Swiggy, Adobe, Wipro, Capgemini, JIO, SAP labs, Vedanta.

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!

Hope this information helps you out. Thank you.

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.
