    NIT Rourkela infrastructure is outstanding, it have very very large campus area, it is filled with greenery. The campus have so many sports facility and very big play ground.there is no problem with NETWORK Wi-Fi is fully available throughout the campus . Central library have full of books . Along with Education facility it provides so many co-curricula Activities . Main thing in the campus is it's Olympic size Swimming pool and Flood lights on ground .

    Academics

    I am studying in Electrical engineering branch. From My childhood I have a great interest in Electrical appliances and their working mechanism. And NIT rourkela is going to fulfill my dream and I have full confidence on my INSTITUTE that it should make my dream come true. The quality of education is excellent and teacher gave one to one guidance. Always teacher's are ready to clear all doubts of all students not only inside class but also beyond the college.

    Placements

    NIT rourkela provides almost 100% placements. Every type of companies comes to our college , including some Microsoft, google, adobe, amazon , and many more multi national companies. But I think companies should give a high package because this is really a excellent institute.

    Value for Money

    Obviously it is value for money. However the fees Is high but after getting job from this institution all things would be compromised. The companies provide a good packages after study, so I think no issues with fees. Even if there are so many scholarship.

    Campus Life

    Due to lock down I have nothing to say about campus life. But from other sources and from senior I headed that Campus life is good. Interaction with different types of people from different states and country provide a better communication skills.

    Others

    Overall it is excellent, every facility including academics, sports, package, other competition, various club, and better communication skills with better people everything is excellent. Teachers gave one to one guidance which is rare in other technical institutes.

    NIT ROURKELA AT ITS BEST

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    I have actually grown up in Rourkela. As per my knowledge it has the second largest engineering college campus in India. Hostels are good enough and so far as I know each of the first year boys hostels namely M. Visvesvaraya hall of residence and GD Birla hall of residence have mess connected to hostel itself. However the rooms of former hostel are little bit small. The classes take place in the lecture avenue which has large lecture halls. There are playgrounds for each and every sport.

    Academics

    Academics as I have heard from seniors is quite decent. I am currently pursuing B.Tech in mechanical engineering because I am quite interested in Mechanics. Most of the professors are old so they have good enough experience of teaching. But due to pandemic situation we are having online classes which has apparently given an impression of poor network connectivity. Further the curriculum is little bit orthodox, and I think it can be improvised to new curriculum wherein students get more scope.

    Placements

    The average placements have been better and is increasing from strength to strength every year. Some sources say that the highest packages are given only to software and circuital branches. But I learned from my mentor that students of mechanical branch are allowed to sit in software companies like Goldman Sachs. We get around 90% placements every year and average packages vary from 10-15 lpa in mechanical branch. The highest package has been around 42 lacs per annum.

    Value for Money

    The value for money rating is quite good. We are charged 124000 INR in first semester and 99000 INR in the second onwards and 102000 in the seventh semester which is decent enough when we see the facilities available. All students are provided with hostels even the localities can avail hostels which are basically 2 seaters rooms for boys hostels with good food quality. Then we have common gyms and badminton courts in every hostels so its worth the money we are paying.

    Campus Life

    The best features of the campus are it has a rule of mandatory bicycles for the students which makes the campus pollution free. The other things are the Bhubaneswar Behera auditorium, the golden jubilee building which is the highest building in Rourkela. The campus has 60-70 clubs under the SAC which provides us a platform to refine our extra curricular skills. Some teachers are really good and very friendly with students while others are hard taskmasters. The location has greenery all around.

    Others

    I am waiting for the campus to open in physical mode so that can explore the campus more.

    Placements

    The placements of our college is very good and various types of tech companies come to NITRkl . Mostly tech companies offer high packages and about 90% of students were placed .the highest package offered is about 40 lakhs and it was of CSE. the average salary offered is 10-12 lakh. the college is very supportive in placements.

    Value for Money

    The course cost is about 1 lakh per annum including the mess and hostel facillities. It is quite good value for money for reservation candidates and also general students . Also better than few IIT's . therefore it is really interesting for us to get world class facilities in a that amount of money.

    Campus Life

    The campus life is very much interesting and is full of activites . The college regularly conducts fests which are full of activities and enjoyment. the students ,teachers and support staff are vey good and supportive . the location very much feasible from railway station and markets . emergencies can be handled very easily.

    Others

    It was dream come true for those who wanted a good college to fulfil all the requirement of being a good engineering and research purpose . therfore oppurtunity to study in nitrkl should not be missed at any cost because you will not find such facilities in Odisha and one of top colleges of India .

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    Infrastructure wise, one of the best NITs. Has good labs, classrooms, sport facilities, library,etc. Has a swimming pool, also decent hostels. Sports facilities include football grounds, cricket ground, gym,etc. Library is one of a kind with huge collection of books.

    Academics

    Academics is good, but teaching methodology seems slightly outdated. Standard reading from the slides is not what one expects at this prestigious college. Sometimes, the teachers lack enthusiasm in their subject.

    Placements

    Placements are decent. CSE if brilliant, obviously. Many core companies visit as well. Apart from this several financial/analytics companies visit which are open for all branches. The training and placement cell does work hard.

    Value for Money

    Government subsidised college, obviously cheaper than private colleges.

    Campus Life

    Campus life depends not just on the great infrastructure, but the friends that you make. So far I've met some cool people who are all going to do great things in life.

    Can't go wrong with this college. Definitely a top NIT.

    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
