    Very good insitute. Worth it to pursue.

    College Infrastructure

    The Institute has very good facilities not only for Mechanical Engineering but also for all other branches. The infrastructure is quite better as compared yo many other Institutes of National Importance. The hall of residence for first years have 2 badminton-court, 1-volleyball court. The campus also includes a Olympic size swimming pool and a floodlight fed Cricket stadium. So there is a very good environment for a balanced life.

    Academics

    Currently I am studying Mechanical Engineering. I am in first year so subjects of all branches are taught equally. The faculties are very helping and supportive. I would not say the quality of teaching is the best but it is very good. Almost all the professors are always ready to clear our doubts. We have a class called Workshop Activity in which we practically build stuffs using various tools which increases our technical experience.

    Placements

    It is one of the most underrated institute of India in terms of placements. Almost every branch get >85% placement which is not regularly achieved by many IITs. The highest placement this year is 42lpa from CSE branch. But it is not deceiving because ECE branch's highest is 31lpa, EE-26lpa, EIE-30lpa, ME-18lpa, CHE-22lpa. Even lower fetching branches like Bio-tech and bio-med, Civil, etc also fetch good package due to which the average placement of the whole institute generally goes >6.5lpa.

    Value for Money

    I rate this good. Because it is fully worth for money. Every sem costs for 99,000INR which is quite high for a middle class family but you are always free to take Education loan. And it is worth it because the balanced life between studies and enjoyment do not disappoint you. And the overall return you get after graduating from here is always worthless.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is best in this college. Here you can find a bunch of clubs in SAC which you can always choose according to your Interests. No time to be bored. We organise various events throughout the year. Friends and seniors are very helpful. Teachers and staffs are also very helpful. They always pay heed to your problems. The location is what takes the institution down a bit. It is situated on the outskirts of the city(Rourkela) which ruins your city tour plans.

    Others

    It is one of the most underrated institute in India.

    Finally it's a great feeling to review abt my Dream College.

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    National Institute Of Technology, ROURKELA is one of the premiere institute of India. It is located in Rourkela,Odisha,India. NITR has all the basic infrastructure that is required to build the character of every student of NITR. It is spread over 1024 acres, which makes it the largest campus of the country. It has different academic building for each department which kind of makes the students comfortable in there way of practice. Everyplace is maintained well. And all the places are hygiene.

    Academics

    I am currently doing my First year in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering Btech. Even though we have online classes.. but the teachers are too cooperative. Hence curriculum seems easier. Yes our academic curriculum is updated according to the recent developments in the field. And whatever is taught is Handy and would eventually help us with our job requirements. Hopefully would end up in a good placement.

    Placements

    The placements of NITR is oviously top notch. All the great and named companies visit our college for recruitment. And the students land up with very high package jobs in India and abroad. In our branch 95% of students were placed. And mostly all were with min average of 8 lpa. As far as I have read the placement procedure is easier as our faculties guide us well.

    Value for Money

    My course that is Btech 1st year costs about Re. 225000...which includes Rs125000 for the first semester and Rs 100000 for the next semester. Yes with the amazing teaching being provided by the faculties every penny is worth it. Can't wait to experience the college life in NITR soon.

    Campus Life

    So the best part about NITR is it's campus life. I can't describe the worst features as I think (according to what I have heard) is that you actually grow as a person which happens to be the most important lesson and thing in one's life.

    Others

    Can't wait to go the NITR physically. And enjoy my college for the next 4 years.

    Our course costs around 2 lakhs per year, i.e around 8 lakhs per year which includes our tuition fees , food and hostel fees. This college is a value for the money spent in 4 years because it gives you good placements.

    Campus Life

    The best part of the college life is the campus life because the SAC provides a lot of clubs and other activities to engage in throughout the year. The college fests are a very big attraction for us students , and we gain a lot from the social interaction.

Yes, I feel getting the money's worth as we get to learn the subjects of all branches from the first year itself. Also we may take some electives during our branch course if we attain a required CGPA criterion.

    Campus Life

    The campus life is awesome, the may be ups and downs but still we should enjoy it to the fullest. The students may engage in various club activities. Also the club culture here is impressive as there are many technical and cultural clubs. Most of the faculty are very good, the staffs are well-off, and the mates and seniors are good too!

    Hope that Helps!

    Hello Community, A friend of mine is applying for Josaa councelling , based on his rank there is possibility of getting NIT Rourkela CSE , and by advanced rank IIT Hyderabad Biomedical Engineering Would there be any advantage of taking IIT hyderabad Biomedical engg in compariison with NIT Rourkela

    There are several factors to consider when comparing NIT Rourkela CSE and IIT Hyderabad Biomedical Engineering:

    Placements

    IIT Hyderabad: Has a high placement rate, with the highest package recorded at INR 90 LPA and an average package of INR 22.5 LPA in 2024. Some sources suggest the CSE department has an average package of INR 29.68 LPA. Top recruiters include Google, Microsoft, IBM, Capgemini, and Amazon.

    NIT Rourkela: In 2024, the average package was INR 13.43 LPA, and the highest was INR 120 LPA (ECE branch). For CSE, the average package in 2024 was INR 21.60 LPA, and in 2023 it was INR 24.07 LPA. Top recruiters include Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Wipro, and Deloitte.

    IIT vs NIT Tag

    IITs have a prestigious reputation, known for academic excellence and strong alumni networks. IIT graduates often secure higher placements and easier access to higher education opportunities abroad.

    NITs are also excellent institutions, offering strong programs and opportunities, although they might not carry the same brand recognition as the older IITs.

    Ultimately, the "best" option is subjective and depends on individual priorities and goals. It is recommended that your friend research both programs thoroughly, consider their interests, and perhaps consult with professors or professionals in both fields to make an informed decision.

    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 .
