    Have a question related to NIT Rourkela ?

    How's industrial refrigeration and cryogenic engineering in mtech at NIT ROURKELA?

    HELLO,

    If you are considering M.tech in Industrial refrigeration and Cryogenic Engineering at NIT Rourkela then let me tell you that it will be a great choice if you are inclined towards thermal engineering, refrigeration systems or research in cryogenics

    Here are some details points so you can understood better :-

    1.This program is offered under the Mechanical Engineering and it is quite specialized and the curriculum is well structured and includes advance subjects . The labs are well equipped and there is good exposure to work practically which will be a positive point.

    2.For admissions you need to attend GATE + CCMT counselling and the seat intake is limited to 15, so it is quite competitive

    3.If i tell you about placements so that is also good because students from this specialization have received good offers with some average package around Rs 9.5 LPA

    4.Cryogenic engineering finds applications in various industries , including agriculture , marine, welding and food processing

    5.NIT Rourkela is well ranked in india particularly in the engineering field

    You can visit the link to get some more idea and details :- https://www.careers360.com/university/national-institute-of-technology-rourkela/mtech-industrial-refrigeration-and-cryogenic-engineering-course

    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
