    One Of The Best NIT's To Be In

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    Being one of the top NIT, the college infrastructure is very well maintained. The Campus is huge, There's Greenery around, The hostels are clean and canteen food is fine. The facilities provided by the Institute is good.

    Academics

    I'm from Metallurgical and Material Department, I'm studying this subject as I'm interested in Chemistry. The quality of teaching is good, Some of the faculties are really good but not all. The peers and seniors are good helping hand in Academics. The only problem that I face is the 85% mandatory attendance which is more than 10% more than other NITs.

    Placements

    The placement record of NIT Rourkela is really good. Big companies come to the campus for recruitment purposes, the placement cell of NIT Rourkela do their job very well. The placement percentage is very high in the Institute.

    College Infrastructure

    NITRKL has one of the best infrastructure and biggest amongst all NITs (second biggest after IIITKGP). According to TOI It is ranked the top most position. Best outlook of its infrastructure are Backpost , hostel , SAC , LA , BBA , Rangcol(canteen), GOLDEN JUBLIE

    Academics

    Academic of NIT Rourkela is outstanding and professor are quite helpful and focus on technical skill development of students rather than focusing only on theory. Only demerit is that 85% attendance is important but it's now casual in almost every renowned college of India. Courses curriculum is updated and industrial requirement focused.

    Placements

    Being a top notch NIT , Placement is awesome for almost every technical branch. CSE students enjoy the cream of the placement as 100% students got placed in CSE within 4 months of placement session average package around 12-15 LPA . ECE , Mechanical and electrical also have almost 100% placement record with avg kage around 10-11 lpa. Other branch like civil, mining , chemical and metallurgy have almost 98% placement record with avg package 7-8 lpa.

    Value for Money

    Almost 2 lac per year is cost of BTech students. It's infrastructure and mess quite value for money

    Others

    You will enjoy the best part of your life here along with good placement at the end.

Even the garden is quite big. There is also places for extra curricular activities and places like football court basketball court and a swimming pool also for indoor games places.

    Academics

    NITR has quite a lot of academic career choices mainly based on engineering but also available many other like msc. and phd programs and they are pretty good. In first year you have all the branch's classes in common so you have all the ideas of how all branch work so you can also do our branch change after 2nd semester on end of 1st year. All the lecturer are pretty good as well. But the thing is you have to study. All is good then.

    Placements

    NITR has ranked 16 in all Indian engineering colleges and 30th rank on overall University on NIRF rank 2019. So you can know how hard it is to get into the college.

    NIT Rourkela is known for its great infrastructure. It is not only equipped wit well maintained class rooms, libraries and laboratories but also for its large green campus area with parks , swimming pulls and sports areas well kept by College Authorities to maintain a hygienic environment for students to study .As far as hostel and canteens are concerned , they are cleaned regularly and Canteen authorities take special care to maintain the hygiene of the food served.

    Academics

    Currently i am pursuing B.Tech in Metallurgical department. As Rourkela is the steel hub of India , metallurgy department here is the reputed and the oldest one . I am also very passionate to study various properties of metals and , that's why, i chose it .Apart from metallurgy there are various departments like Comp. Science, Elect. & Comm. , Electricalm Mechanical, Civil, Mining, Ceramic, Industrial Designing, Food processing, etc. professors here are very cooperative and well-educated.

    Value for Money

    As far as ROI (Return Of Investment) concerned, in the name of fees , we pay about 1.24 Lac (it might not be applicable for you beacause fees you have to deposit may depends on many factors like catagory, family income, etc) which includes all the academic and other facilities(hostel, mess, medical fees, etc) at NIT Rourkela . As per the expenses of a middle class family (with annual income above 8 Lacs) , it might not be a great amount but when it comes to value it definitely worths.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is the most crucial part of the college. Having such a huge and green campus makes the college life blissful .Apart from these there are too much fun is going on in the campus in the name of fests, parties, workshops, clubs, and many more extra curricular activities in each field. Hence, it can be concluded that life is litterally lit here.

    Have a question related to NIT Rourkela ?

    If I'm interested in designing but scored a descent rank in JEE mains which is the better option ISDI Mumbai ( Product design) or NIT Rourkela (b.tech in industrial design)?

    Dear student,

    If you're passionate about design and have a decent JEE Main rank, the choice between ISDI Mumbai (Product Design) and NIT Rourkela (B.Tech in Industrial Design) comes down to your goals.

    ISDI Mumbai is a pure design institute focused on creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning. The program emphasizes real-world projects, portfolio building, and exposure to Mumbai’s design industry. It’s best for those who want a career in creative design , user experience, or product innovation. Admission is based on the ISDI Challenge , not JEE.

    NIT Rourkela , on the other hand, offers a design-oriented B.Tech that blends engineering and product design. It’s a good fit if you're looking for a technical degree with a design element . The course includes CAD, UX, manufacturing, and product development. Admission is through JEE Main and JoSAA , with strong placements and a top-tier campus.

    Your decision should align with whether you see yourself as a designer first or an engineer with design skills .

    Take your time
