The College life ,where you really mature

2.7Helpful

Likes

I liked my college environment,my professors and their way of teaching.
I love the way how people learn new things

Dislikes

I don't like friends because their is no unity among us
Their is a jealousy between friends that should not be there

Placement Experience:

Placements in our college are only based on skills. So if one failed in showing their skills then they can't get placement and one should be updated as much as possible for future jobs. They should learn new courses like ai ml and all. Most probably my college will give me good placement if not I will show up my skills and get good job off campus

NIT Rourkela true review

4.0Helpful

Likes

The courses offered here are very broad and vast enough to complete all the competitive exam syllabus, you need not purchase any other course for your GATE or other engineering exam preparation, these courses are enough
The campus is almost about 1400 acres. So it consists of everything you need in your day to day life, groceries,food stalls,sports kit shop,mobile and laptop repair shop,barber shop,ATMs,cycle repair shop and much more

Dislikes

The zonal game played over here is the worst part. You can't get anything if you don't get support from your zone. They have divided the entire campus into various zones like north zone, UP zone,Bihar zone, South zone etc etc
There are other branches like EE and CS where the professors are totally mad, friends of mine have stated they feel like curse studying under them

Course Curriculum Overview:

As I mentioned earlier the best aspect of this curriculum is that you need not lift extra time for your competitive exam preparation, if you pay attention in classes and follow the course curriculum and the recommended books, that itself is self sufficient to get you through any exam.so very well does the curriculum prepares us for real-world applications and further academic pursuits. We have a semester of 3 months.(90days) In 45 days span we have midsem and endsem

My Experience as a student at NIT Rourkela

4.3Helpful

Likes

Annual cultural and techfest and placement assistance almost 100% placement
Good infrastructure as it was spread over more than 1000 acres and labs were good fully funded by central government guest lectures were organised with faculties visiting the campus even from US, UK Japan etc

Dislikes

No airport if you are from norther region such as Delhi you will have to book a train ticket no alternate
Train journey would take almost 12 hours sometimes even more if train is delayed

Placement Experience:

Placement is good almost all of my batchmates got placed through on campus, only people with no communication skills suffered and they also got placed within 6 months of graduation. Placement is not an issue some even had multiple offers.

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.
