Campus is soo beautiful and very large size
Environment is soo cool and well cleaned.

Dislikes

Hostel rooms are soo small and unfurnished also.
Mess food charges are high and sometimes tastes bad.

Placement Experience:

Students can apply for campus placements from first semester itself. But most of the companies demands for final year students. The average package was around 8-9 lpa . Almost 80% students got placement in my department. I will pursue PhD after the degree.

Dislikes

The mess fees seems to be very much as compared to other government college.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Curriculum here is very hectic based on the earlier methods of terms by NIT and IITs across India. This needs to change with each year since the format of learning and comprehensive education is developing.

Is nitrkl worth it?

3.4Helpful

Likes

Good green nature and environment. Last green campus.
Placements are good for most of the branches especially circuital branches ( cse, ece, ei, ee)

Dislikes

Once you get a backlog cause of any reason, its quite difficult and costly process to get passed again. It involves a lot of strict rules and regulations.
No much visiting places. No fast transport for south indians mainly. Tours and long trips are only for richees.

Placement Experience:

Percentage of placements ks quite high when compared to iits. But the average and median salaries are 24 and 23lakhs in cse last year and overall average could be around 12lakhs. Quite a good number of opportunities are available, but students with backlogs are not allowed to sit for placements. Internships need to be increased more. Highest packages range from 55lpa to 65 lpa every year

Likes

The environment is great and you'll meet the top students of India with brilliant minds. You'll learn a lot throughout your journeyney
Faculty and professors are helpful and they try to resolve student's doubt.

Dislikes

Specially for girls ( if you get cvr hall of residence you will have to share a your room. The room are not spacious enough to occupy two people. Sadly, you have to manage with that
As in any other college, there will some days when you feel zonism is there. ( people will prioritize oria people)

Course Curriculum Overview:

You 'll get a whole range of courses. And there are some extra courses as well which is not provided by every college. Exams are conducted in a disciplined way. Punctuality and strictness is mainatined by both staffs and students. I think the staffs should be more strict to prevent students to cheat in the exams as there our students who are smart enough and they manage to cheat even in this strict environment.

The placement percentage is about 90% but this year due to the recession the percentage is quite low. The top tech companies visit my college like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Barclays.

NIT Rourkela: 1 Answered Question

What is your review of National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (NIT-RKL)?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

A friend at NIT Rourkela gave me a detailed review of her college the last time she visited me. Here are some highlights from her descriptive experience

NIT Rourkela has a huge, serene, and well-secured campus.
The institute has diverse clubs that promote extracurricular activities and their performance is better than most clubs of other engineering colleges.
Decent Internet speed is offered and the Dc++ is well maintained.
The hostels are well-maintained and decked with all the basic amenities one could ask for.
Students are actively involved in sports such as gymming and swimming.
The faculties are a mixed bag. Some are underqualified and lethargic while some motivate you to become a better person.
The institute boasts of an extensive entrepreneurship culture.
The institute needs to work on increasing its alumni base and the level of fests it organizes given the huge income the institute generates.
The placement scenario varies from branch to branch. It's decent for branches like CS while pathetic for others.
Rourkela does not have any places to explore and also lacks flight connectivity.
The city of Rourkela is one of the cleanest places so hygiene is not an issue here.

These were some snippets from the detailed experience shared by my friend. Hope this helped you.
