Come join this amazing college.
Placements: NIT Rourkela guys are more benefited with placements. There are more than 300 companies offering jobs in our college. The main companies for the electronics branch are Texas Instruments, which offers about 35 LPA. The second most important company is Qualcomm, and it offers 28 LPA.
Infrastructure: Coming to classroom facilities, there are two lecture halls. Every classroom has 2 air conditioners. Room is allotted to two people. There is a facility that you can select your roommate. In the hostel room, you will be given a table and a chair and two charging points. Coming to the mess, the food quality is good but bad in taste. Fee for room is 5000 per semester and 20000 for mess.
Faculty: NIT Rourkela has a 1:15 faculty-to-student ratio. For every department, one faculty advisor is appointed. After every semester, we need to give feedback on professors of the completed semester. We also need to give a review to the faculty advisor. As we know, in every college, electrical department professors are a bit strict; the same repeats in our college. In the curriculum, the electronics department has digital electronics, analog electronics, and so on. Up to 3rd semester, everyone will have mathematics, and the syllabus for every department is the same. In the first year, all departments have the same subjects.
Other: The part of the engineering college is the fests. In NIT Rourkela, there are mainly four fests: Innovision, technical fest, Virridhi, sports fest, Cosmo, cultural fest, Nitrutsav

I have great experience, and I am absolutely satisfied. It has good placements.
Placements: Starting with packages in my course in the VLSI industry, there are a few companies that recruit us. But packages are as impressive as our expectations. Companies like Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, John Deere, Intel, and MediaTek are the major recruiters. 20% of students get internship opportunities in those top companies.
Infrastructure: At first, our classrooms have a very good environment with an air-conditioning facility. The library is far better, which has full AC and a high-speed Wi-Fi facility. Hostels have great infrastructure for both studying and playing. There are Wi-Fi and LAN services in each room, which contains two beds. Overall, it is better.
Faculty: Faculty members of our college are generally helpful and well-qualified. Many of them hold advanced degrees and are experienced in industry-related domains. The course curriculum is very relevant to real-world problems, and it prepares us for the industry world. In NIT Rourkela, academic comeback is very difficult because of the semester exams.
Other: I chose this branch because my JEE Main result qualified me for it. But after choosing this course, I feel very lucky because this domain is very interesting and the best.

The infrastructure is old, the life is hectic, peers are highly competitive.
Placements: In electronics and instrumentation, 100% placement is available. In 2024, the highest package is 1.2 CPA from EI for a software development role in a new start-up company, which was off-campus. Top companies include Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Microsoft, American Express, Visa, and many more visit our college.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are very poor for girls. For the 1st and 2nd years, the hostel KMS is quite old, making it rundown with poor bathroom conditions and Wi-Fi doesn't work in every room—only in the rooms near the outer edge. The rest of the rooms have LAN, but students need to arrange their own Wi-Fi. The quality of food is just okay—edible, but not expecting too much from a government college mess. For 3rd and 4th years, the hostel CVR was supposed to be single-occupancy, but it is allotted as double-sharing, which makes the small space very stifling.
Faculty: Semester exams are very tough, making it difficult to secure a high GPA or CGPA. There are quizzes, lab tests, and vivas every week, which makes the schedule very hectic. Faculty members are knowledgeable. We have good teachers, but you still need to study on your own because they cannot teach the entire course in class.
Other: Only the top four branches—CS, EC, EI, EE—offer good placements, while other branches do not have many opportunities to join high-paying companies. The overall crowd tends to be dull, and the fest events are not very exciting. Mental health is affected by the curriculum.

Satisfied mostly because of placements, the academic curriculum, and a lush green campus.
Placements: 99% of students from the EC + EI got placed. However, there are 100% placements in the EI department (from the last 2 years). The highest package is 1.2 crores per annum (EI 2023-24), and the lowest package is 3.0 LPA(EC). The average package ranges from 13.5-17.5 LPA. Many software companies like Microsoft, Google, etc., and VLSI design companies like Texas Instruments, Intel, Nvidia, etc., hire students. More than half students got internships in the software domain, and the remaining in VLSI and core domains.
Infrastructure: The maximum speed of Wi-Fi is more than 100 Mbps, but the average is 30 Mbps. Labs of my department are well-maintained with all facilities like systems, software licenses, etc. Many classrooms have a centralised AC system. The library is one of the biggest in India. The quality of the hostel and mess food is also very good. Regular checking of the quality of food is done by the warden, who is a professor. We have a dispensary in our college for minor issues, and if major, they refer it outside hospital, which is very near to main gate.
Faculty: Many professors have done their PhD from top IITs, and they are very supportive. The teaching quality depends on one professor to another, but overall, it is good. The course curriculum is relevant. The course is designed by experts in their domain. Exams are a little bit difficult, and strict checking is done. Our curriculum is not very easy. The pass marks are 34 out of 100.
Other: I chose this course because of the good placements. The best thing is that students can go into software, the VLSI domain, and core fields. I wish that relative grading were there. Many fests happen all over year. Our college has a lush green campus. It is really very large and beautiful. Many scholarships are also given by others for B.Tech.

Satisfied because of its infrastructure.
Placements: In National Stock Technology Rourkela, almost 82-90% of the students will be placed. Top recruiting companies are Barclays, Intel, Microsoft, Google, etc. Mostly 32-40% of students got internships in great companies.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for the course and department are really good. Wi-Fi is available. Labs, classrooms, and library are available. The maintenance of the campus is excellent. Infrastructure is really good. There will be the golden jubilee, which attracts the campus more.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is really good. The curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. The difficulty of the semester exams will be more. Pass percentage is 32%-35%.
Other: I am a student in electronics and instrumentation engineering. The best thing about our course is that it provides good placement opportunities. Special students will have special companies in electronics and instrumentation engineering. Fests are really good.

Answered 8 years ago

Hello Swami, If he got the branch of his choice in any NIT's then only send him to NIT's, but as you said he got very good rank in VIT so he can get good branches there. Send him to VIT, Vellore, because as per the latest NIRF ranking VIT secures 13th position surpassing many IITs and NITs.
