    Yes, here the infrastructure is so well maintained by the concerned authorities. We are getting the facilities of adequate laboratories, libraries, sports centre, hostels, and most importantly a sweet and beautiful campus, apart from the campus restaurants. Here the entire campus is filled with greenery and good vibes. A must to be visited campus.

    Academics

    Some professors over here are exceptionally good. You will feel elated while the class going on. Passion is what makes them different from everyone other. Although not alike you coaching teachers, still you will be satisfied with the teaching faculties.

    Placements

    About the placements, you can trust this institute. Here students are getting placed in various reputed companies, and in various renowned institutes too if you are from Science background. Technical field placement is fully satisfactory.

    Value for Money

    It's absolutely good in terms of value-for-money. You will be provided all sorts of facilities, be it in terms of campus life or be it academics. You will be satisfied after being in the institute. Overall you don't have to worry much.

    Campus Life

    The campus is one of the best thing at NITR. I guess the most beautiful campus you could ever get the chance to see. Filled with greenery, a beautiful swimming pool, and a massive and glorious campus. One would surely be in trauma after being in the campus.

    Others

    The best thing about the institute is its widespread horizon of club culture. Technical, Film and Music, Games and Sports, and Literary and Cultural are the four societies at SAC. Apart from skills, the clubs teach you personal development and time management.

    I think Nit rourkela infrastructure is excellent and facilities are also good . but the equipment for Msc. integrated course there is not so satisfying. because this course mainly based on research and experiment. so there is need more advanced equipment. but there is no more advanced equipment. About classrooms, laboratories,sports centres and hostels, I don't know more about this because , i am study online now. As I listened there might be some problems in food.

    Academics

    I'm from Integrated Msc. and till now I found that studying level is excellent. our professors are much more talented. they have sufficient knowledge to teach us. I think curriculum is updated and includes all the recent developments in the field. study level is excellent of this college. about job I think we must have to do PHd.

    Placements

    About placements . I think there is not much option without doing PhD. because in Integrated MSc. there is not so much options are available . but when we do hard labour . we can placed. All over placement ratio is satisfying because NitR is a reputed engineering college.

    Value for Money

    I Think course cost per year is sufficient .

    Campus Life

    I Don't know because till now I'm studying online . because of corona pandemic.

    NIT ROURKELA AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY.

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    NIT ROURKELA'S campus is one of the most beautiful campus in India, spreading over a huge area of over 262 hectares and is the 2nd largest campus in India. NIT RKL'S campus has it all starting from different buildings for various departments including labs , around 10 hostels with messes and night canteens in all of those. There is a separte field for games like cricket,football etc. It also has an olymoic sized swimming pool and a sac and the campus is well maintained.

    Academics

    I'm a first year engineering student at nit rkl and the cirriculam is quite diverse. At nit rkl we study different subjects starting from basic programming , physics ,chemistry to biology. Nit rkl believes in the impartment of knowledge rather than the attainment of marks and hence it gives such a diverse cirriculam and after the first year when the branch comes to play even then the course is more focused on practical stuffs rather than the bookish knowledge. The professors are highly qualified

    Placements

    Nit rkl has one of the best placement percentage. The average package ranges around 9 to 10 lakhs . The average CSE package ranges from 13 to 14 lakhs and the domestic package goes as high as 40LPA . There is an entire team called the placement cell that works for providing the students with the opportunity they deserve .

    Value for Money

    I'll have to pay around 2LPA for my stay at nit rkl which includes everything mess fees,tution fees, etc. There are variuos scholarships provided to the students from economically weaker sections which can help them . Yes, i think nit rkl is worth the money taking into consideration the infrastructure , campus life and academics.

    Campus Life

    campus life at nit rkl is probably why people join this college. Nit rkl has such a vast campus that that it takes months to fully explore the campus . Night canteens ,night life at nit rkl with friends is something one can't miss . There are so many stories related to different spots in nit rkl and it is fun to find out more about them.

    Being a part of the covid batch life has been tough I'm yet to go to my campus but I'm sure one day i will and that day will perhaps be the mark of a new beginninig the beginning of the best life.

The academics is also good. And I'm definitely finding it worth the money.

    Campus Life

    The campus is spread over 647 acres, that's really very big, although it is of 1100 acres but the rest is under construction. It is much eco-friendly, green, less pollution is there. The best feature is the campus itself. Once do visit it, it'll capture a space in your heart. The activities a student can engage is what you can think of, may it be sports or dance or debating, just anything you could think of. The students here are very multi talented. The location has good connectivity. It's safe

    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 .

    Take your time
