Great Infrastructure, Strong Coding Culture ~ NITR .
Placements: NIT Rourkela (2024) 85% placed. 120 LPA is highest salary package. Average package is 14.6 LPA, lowest package is 3.3 LPA. Top recruiters are Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, TI, Intel, Qualcomm. Internships are common with PPOs. Roles are SDE, Data Analyst, embedded/core engineering, finance/consulting.
Infrastructure: NIT Rourkela offers top-tier infrastructure solutions for students. CSE & core branches have smart classrooms, 24/7 Wi-Fi, advanced labs, and a huge digital central library. Hostel life, clean rooms, fast Wi-Fi / LAN, decent mess food, and 24/7 medical facilities are available. Overall, very good.
Faculty: Faculty are PHDs and helpful ; teaching is practical with strong labs. CBCS + electives (AI/ML ) makes it industry ready. Exams are moderate tough with relatively grading ; pass rate is generally high for regular students. I will say the curriculum is also very good as the " INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM.
Other: I chose EE at NITR because it has strong core study + project based learning and best coding culture as well as the placements are very good enough.

Best you will get here. Best college life and amazing placements.
Placements: All students are placed in my branch. Last year, the highest package offered in my branch was 51 LPA, and the lowest salary was 3.3 LPA. The median salary is 10.5 LPA. The average salary is 13.62 LPA. Total job offers are 101. This is all about the electrical branch. Top recruiters are Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Analog Devices, Qualcomm, TCS, Wipro, PhonePe, etc.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of NIT Rourkela is amazing. We have two lecture halls and all classrooms have AC facility. We have a central library where Wi-Fi is available 24X7. We have well-maintained labs. Hostel facilities are really amazing. We have separate hostels for 1st year students. There are 2 students in one room. We have gym, study room, tv room, music room, night canteen, day canteen, and stationery available inside the hostel. Mess food is not that much good but okay. We have 3 badminton courts, 2 volleyball courts, 3 table tennis courts, etc. We have a dispensary on the campus for medical facilities.
Faculty: Teachers are good. They are interactive and helpful. All are well qualified and they have good knowledge about their subject. Definitely, this course is much relevant. Semester exams are not that much difficult, students can pass easily. But they have to study because the chance of cheating is 0%.
Other: Everything is good. We have a very green and large campus which is second-largest engineering college in India after IIT KPG in terms of area but one thing that I don't like is the attendance policy. We have to manage 85% attendance which is high.

College is overrated be prefer only if you're in that region. Students are great, peers good minds.
Placements: I am not sure about the current year, but according to previous year data, 95%+ students in the electrical batch are placed. However, the LPA is not as impressive as in the IT sector or semiconductor companies. I would say the average is around 50 students who got 30 LPA and above, 10-11 students got 50 LPA and above, 1 student got 1.2 crores, and 3 students got 98 LPA last year.
Infrastructure: Hostels are great, and food is also available with both veg and non-veg options. There is a separate mess for pure veg and Jain people with only a veg menu. I eat there, and the food quality is great. The infrastructure for electrical engineering is average, not great for inventions or projects, but all that is required for the course is available.
Faculty: Not all faculty members are non-cooperative, and they mostly help their regional students. Other students are ones who have to suffer more. The curriculum is hectic, with 85% attendance required, and exams are easy. There is no relative marking, so you can decide accordingly.
Other: I did all that in the above reviews, but I would like to add something if the attendance criteria were lower, it would be better, and adding some more new-generation courses would be beneficial.

Good social exposure, but dissatisfied location, great faculty, and people.
Placements: Placements are good. The batch size is roughly 114, but yes, all students have different fields of focus. Some pursue higher studies, etc., with guidance from the placement committee. Offers are available both on-campus and off-campus, and the alumni network is also strong. In the first year, it’s not allowed to contact seniors, but afterward, you have great exposure to them through meetings and clubs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of some hostels is good, while that of others is not. The LAN connection is great, but the food quality is poor and not very helpful; however, the day and night canteens are lifesavers. There are excellent facilities such as a central swimming pool and a central gym, and each hostel also has its gym, with maintenance occurring every week.
Faculty: Adopting the new education policy highly emphasizes skills and development rather than just memorization. However, the tests are tough with a 0% chance of cheating due to the recently installed CCTV and the supportive environment for studying. The central library provides almost every book, most of which are old but still sufficient.
Other: With 1,200 acres of campus and multiple branches, such as EC, EI, and AI, which have recently been added, there is a huge student population. Events are frequently hosted, including cultural events and hackathons. The campus is surrounded by mountains, allowing for exploration. All the more often, the campus consists of mountains in it, so you can travel it without going out.

My opinion on NIT ROURKELA.
Placements: This college offers one of the best placements in India. The placements here are made easy with the help of the placement coordinator here. There is an online test (OT) then for which you will be shortlisted for an interview. The placements here have been very satisfactory. I have a friend who has received placement of 28LPA in the core section. Nothing to worry about that department as a decent CGPA will guarantee your placement here.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college hostel is very poor. The maintenance is very rarely done and the time for renewal of facilities like windows and tube light have elapsed far back. The facilities here are very old and the only modern thing here is a washing machines which is to be used by 64 people and it constantly gets complain for which you need to wait weeks on end to get proper maintenance .
Faculty: The correction of exams and lenience is dependent on your professors and most of them do indeed give marks for attempted questions and also step marks. Still the exams especially Maths is really difficult if you are like me and only start studying one week before exams.
