    Amazing campus with remarkable placements

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is outstanding here at nit Rourkela. There is a total of 9 hostels of which 7 are for boys and 2 for girls. The campus is provided with a state or art network with 4000 nodes. The library is equipped with 60000 books with 750 casesstes. In each hostel badminton court is provided and in common room we get to see a television too.

    Academics

    The academics of this college is pretty average. Currently I am doing my btech degree in computer science. The courses or rather curriculum is still outdated and few branches are going to be introduced from next year. One thing is a plus over here ,professors will be available to solve your doutbs no matter how much time it takes.

    Placements

    For the 2021 batch , average package 9.36L and highest package was 45 L which was bagged by 3 students. It was given by Microsoft. Many offers for internships has been made by companies like microsoft, Bajaj auto, Citibank. 211 students selected for it. In my branch there is 100% placement.

    Value for Money

    Nit Rourkela is absolutely worth for its value for money. Because the fees spent in course of four years is very less as compared to the packages we get. In 8-9L our course is done and if you get fee remission then it would cost you around 3-5L depending on certain terms and conditions.

    Campus Life

    Nit Rourkela has a huge campus filled with greenery . There are food stalls inside the campus which stays open till midnight and is a place of attraction for the students. The college also has gymnasium with two instructors. In short the campus life is a very cool one and you can have a nice gala time over here.

    College Infrastructure

    The college do contain all the required infrastructure required to fulfill the purpose of the engineering college. It has the maximum branch of other colleges and the second biggest campus of India. NITR is currently working on wifi availability. The hostel food isn't great but yeah you can manage it. It basically depends on the hostel where one us staying. There are many hostels there.

    Academics

    The quality of teaching ranges from "ok" to "good". The professors are knowledgeable. But i think the curriculum needs to be updated. It has a lot of branch so students can opt for streams if their choice.

    Placements

    The placement for the circuital branch is veru good with an avg salary of 9lpa. But the placement in the non circuital branches lag behind with an avg salary of 6 lpa. ( Note - these are expected numbers. Official datas hasn't been shared yet).

    Value for Money

    Personally I feel the couse is a value for money deal taking the scope, placement, opportunities etc into account.

    Campus Life

    The campus life is great. A huge campus with extensive greenery and a group of friends around. It makes the the campus life extremely interesting and good.

    Others

    Overall, I would say NITR is very good university. Being a institute of national importance has its own craze.

Library is huge, may be the largest in Odisha. There are a 8 boys hostels and 2 ladies hostels. Have separate mess and food quality is ok. And the environment is clean

    Academics

    Quality of academics is pretty good if not the best. Almost all faculty members are PhDs from reputed institutes both from India and abroad. NIT Rourkela has the highest research output in terms of publications in peer reviewed journals and total number of citations. Academic Curriculum was recently updated to make it for flexible and match industry standards. Biggest negative point is the ultra stringent attendance policy with 85% mandatory attendance in classes.

    Placements

    About placements is overall good.if Only major disadvantage is location. Lack of a functional airport in Rourkela acts as an obstacle for some companies to visit campus. Average CTC approximately 7 LPA in my batch with highest being 42 LPA. And overall every student get placement

    Value for Money

    General: 6.27 Lakhs Scheduled Caste: 1.27 Lakhs Scheduled Tribe: 1.27 Lakhs . Fee is little bit high but if you are from scheduled caste then fee is feasible for you. And also apply for different scholarship

    Have a question related to NIT Rourkela ?

    NIT Rourkela mba admission cat cutoff how much for general crg

    Good Morning,

    NIT Rourkela CAT cutoff range is between 70-85 percentiles for the general category. 70 is the minimum percentile needed to apply, and 85 is the highest percentile. However, the maximum percentile depends on the particular year competition. It can be changed.

    Thank You.

    Hello,

    With 99 percentiles in JEE Main and OBC-NCL category under Odisha home state quota, your chances for CS at NIT Rourkela are quite low CS cutoff usually stays around 99.6–99.8 percentile for OBC candidates.

    However, you may get other good branches like EEE, Mechanical, or Civil in NIT Rourkela, or CS in lower-ranked NITs. Try to aim for 99.7+ percentile for CS there.

    Hope you understand.
