    Academics

    The academics is strong and competitive here and this is learning process makes the student overcome the problems himself. This makes the students self sufficient and the personality that they grow in themselves makes them ready to tackle the battles in their life.

    Placements

    The placements are really amazing with the highest placement offered as 43 lacs, with a lot of new companies and outstanding packages this year. This year, the average package has been increased by approximately half the last year. Except the ones who did not sit for placements, almost all of the rest students are placed with good packages.

    Value for Money

    The facilities provided and the environment here lifts up the students, enhancing their skills and making it easier to achieve the dreams. This is worth the money being paid. The course fee that we pay every year is lower than the current one.

    Campus Life

    The college has a lot of clubs focusing on chemical innovations, coding, racing, dance and music, charity, entrepreneurship cell, etc. This helps in overall development of the students. The teachers are not different than any other college of the same level, but they support the students in the research and other parts of the academics.

    Others

    The students after 12th are sometimes disheartened by the important choices that they make in their lives. They should remember that every failure is a pillar to their success. Be patient and think before taking decisions at every step of your life. Life teaches you this along with patience but dealing with problems is necessary to decrease them. So enjoy the college because this time cannot be re-lived.

    Size matters

    College Infrastructure

    Being the second biggest college in terms of area in India, we have all the necessary infrastructure and more here. Wifi is not available in the campus except for the library but LAN connection is available everywhere.

    Academics

    The curriculum and teaching pattern is great. Having a summer semester is very helpful for struggling students. Overall it is good but the faculty teaching quality is same as all other government colleges.

    Placements

    Placement has been very good and constant over the years. Alumni base is also very strong.Students have constantly bagged top jobs, mostly in India. The best branch is obviously CSE, with last year's placement average going to 16 lpa.

    Value for Money

    My course was not expensive as it is a government college. On top of that you can avail various state scholarships to basically study for free. The education is totally worth every penny.

    There's multiple clubs for hobbies and interests. The campus has all the facilities to play sports which are regularly maintained.

    Value for Money

    As I am from general category so I have paid Rs.1,25,000 during my admission(including admission fee and other charges).fee structure varies with different casts so it seems a little biased to me but somehow I feel that I am getting my money's worth because there is everything in NITR campus which I have thought for a perfect place.

    Apart from learning you will learn very new things here.

    College Infrastructure

    Yes we have all the necessary equipment, facilities and the infrastructure here is really good. We have different buildings for different activities like student activity centre, training and placement building,halls etc. We have two separate buildings for classroom.We have separate buildings for all the departments.Our classroom is well equipped with lan connection, projector.The overall environment is so clean and filled with greenery and the mess food is hygienic but it sucks.

    Academics

    I am pursuing B-Tech CSE here because of my interests in machine learning and AI.The professors here are knowledgeable but they don't know how to teach.Some are really good and can make you feel the subject while others are here just for their duty to teach. Yes i think my curriculum is updated.

    Placements

    The placement here is well for upper branches like cse,ece,ee,mech but for lower branches it's not good enough.The percentage of students placed here is close to 85%.The highest package offered was around 42 lakhs last year from ECE.The average placement is around 13-14 lakhs for cse.The placement process was really nice and quite interesting.The professors were there to help us.

    Value for Money

    It costs around 2 lacs per year but it does offer scholarships facilities like you have to pay one- third the amount of tuition fee if your parents income is within range stated by the college. I do feel like all of this worth it because it doesn't only make us tech grad but also helps us in holistic development.

    Campus Life

    Like i said earlier our campus is full of greenery having mountains around it.As one of the largest campus in india it has different facilities to offer like dispensary,grocery,bank, stadiums, separate buildings for different departments.We have clubs of different types be it literary,technical or cultural.The student professor bond is quite strong,we do have profs who really help us.Our campus is located far away from city which is sometimes awful as we have to travel quite a distance.

    Others

    Overall our college is quite good and worth joining for despite of the crummy 85% attendance here. The college offers wide range of engaging activities for overall development.We have two one of the biggest fests of North-East region cultural and technical.You will have a new family here far from your home.

    I have some of the best memories till now in NIT Rourkela.

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, has one of the best infrastructure in India. It is far better than most IITs. Each branch has its own department and classrooms are well maintained. Recently the new acadamic block was opened and arrangements are made to shift acadamic offices to new building. The pavements are hygenic and the best part is that the institute is suitable for those who obsessed with nature. The academic area is full of greenery.

    Academics

    I am studying Mechanical Engineering, B.Tech degree. The quality of teaching is good, but we cannot say that it is outstanding. But the interesting part is NIT Rourkela, is known for its faculty who have an awsome background in research. Coming to the curriculum, we are being taught various softwares which will be very helpful in professional carrer.

    Placements

    The placements are decent and the best package offered in 2018-19 was 40 lakhs, and for software job. Coming to mechanical engineering 80-90% has been placed. Major draqback is transportation, the officials of companies were unable to cause there is only railway acceess, and no need to mention about the punctuality of Indian Railway, though there is private airport. The placement process was easy and pleasent.

    Value for Money

    For a normal candidate the fee is around 2lakhs(per year), if you have OBC reservation you have to pay around 70,000(per year). I feel that the college management is doing its best to prove its worth. There is some problem with mess food, but it will there for one or another since IITs, NITs have students from every state around India, and we have to compromise in case of food.

    Campus Life

    Campus is nice, when I enter into the college I fell in love with campus at the very moment, being from village I love greenery the most, so its quite obvious. Fests are really amazing part in engineering student life. There is always one or other event going on in the institute throughout the year. And we can enjoy every part of it. The professors are very supportive and provide guidence regarding future. They care the most. College has its own dispencery, and very near to hospital.

    Others

    NIT Rourkela, club culture is one of the best in India. For each activity there is around 2 to 3 clubs. And we are free to join whatever the club we want irrespective of our department. And if you are interest in research field NIT Rourkela is the best option though you are joining B.Tech.

    Very bad condition about placement for our Department specifically in M. Sc Applid geology. B. Tech is perfect for any purpose. Sometimes one or two out of 23 or 25 or 17 get placed. Actually here Master degree is like a secondary course so administrators have not interested in this activity. HOD is not capable of this post but even though its happen here.

    Value for Money

    Fees are very high per semester 40K and For 1st semester It is usually 58K.But as much fee they dont give all facilities.I am not satisfied with this institute with respect to fees and their facilities.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is very good different types of activities being happen during every year. Intra hall competition in different games. Dispensary is also good and their collaboration with high facility of Hospitals. Always a ambulance is ready for any emergency.

    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
