Remarks :
Academics, Mess system,Alumni relations need to work hard enough . P.S. - Food standards have to rise up. SAC Culture -is growing and has been taking new highs, still budget discrepancies. Placements -need to be more distributed among core and non core fields and departments. Sports- Students have good core strength but lack technique, therefore coaching remains a lacunae. Research- I am still hoping when will we be coordinating industries regarding this. After all this, I still miss my NITR. It Rocks !
Entrance Preview :
I appeared for AIEEE -2011 and cracked it with score of 196/360 that time securing AIR 11841 (SR-158) and opted for NIT Rourkela as it was near my home and top ranked NIT in the country as of now with excellent infrastructure & college campus. Admission process was through CCB-Central Counselling Board of NIT's.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Course-curriculum more or less i will say is same for all central govt. engineering colleges which doesn't make much difference in learning.All it matters for a student is what they acquire duringthe coarse of years .I had my electrical branch related subjects with 8 sems & 5 theories+ 5 labs per sem equivalently.
Internships Opportunities :
Yes Every year NIT Rourkela offers 50 paid internships to students across the country. The Internship period will be for 2 months. Usually the internships are offered during summer. Selected candidates will get financial assistantship. In addition to these a number of short term courses are conducted to students of various institutes for advance learning and career guidance. Please visit the site http://eapplication.nitrkl.ac.in/internship/ for more details.
Placement Experience :
Placements were full in both core and non-core sectors company visiting for campus.100% placed major in IT firms & core during my batch.Highest package in my branch was offered by CIL(CTC~10 LPA) and average was dream companies with lowest being normal IT-IBM,TCS & others alike. Roles offered were of GET,Associate System Engineers,Analytics Associate & Software Engineers. Around 10 students got paid internship out of batch of 60 with monthly stpends ranging from 3K-5K.Remaining did vocational internships !

We have major 3 college events of fests what we called it as- 1.

Fee Structure And Facilities :
Fee structure exactly varies from year to year as per intake of students admissions & govt policies.In my time it costed me around 4 LPA for 4 yars B.tech programme including everything i.e mess bills +laptop expense+ academics tuition fees.Now its little bit costly especially for general candidates if you know what i mean.Still it's worth the shot as a career start into corporate job life.

Faculty :
: Faculties are from all levels from assistant to associates.Some are just contractual with little exposures with high qualified foreigh PhD's profs.You can gain all round exposure and undertake your graduation projects under your desired faculties.But some are very rude strict ones too.They have projectors and wipeable blackboards for teachings & ppt presentations in classrooms. Approximately 90 Students:1 Faculty in the institute ratio is well maintained throughout every sector & departments. Yes you have two industrial tours during your tenure of 4 years for exposure & experience practically. Course Curriculum was as per designed by HRD Govt. rules & regulations but it needs improvement.Focus must be on quality based learning rather than cramming and periodic exams.
