NIT Rourkela, where you can have greenery to save you from distractions.
Placements: 87% of the students get placed in my course. 23 LPA was the highest, 5 LPA was the lowest, and 12 LPA is the average package offered. Top recruiters are Hyundai Motors, Maruti Suzuki. From my college, about 60% of students get internship offers from the core sector, and most of the students want to be placed in tech.
Infrastructure: Facilities are decent. Canteens have a wide variety of foods. Each hostel has day canteens as well as night canteens, and there are other canteens on campus too. We have Wi-Fi facility in the hostel with decent speed. We have good facilitated labs with good TAs.
Faculty: We have mid-semester exams of 30 marks and end-semester exams of 50 marks, and the total is 100 marks, an additional 20 is internal marks. Exams are generally not that hard, a decent number of students pass the exam. Faculty members conduct tests for the internal marks.

It is a nice college. Everything is really good here.
Placements: 95% of students get placements in our course. The average package is around 11.50 LPA, and the highest package is 30 LPA, which is offered by the IT companies. In the core section, the highest package offered ranges from 18-19 LPA by PSUs like HPCL, BEL, BPCL, IOCL, etc. Top recruiting companies are Tata Steel, MSIL, Vedanta, Bajaj, etc. The top roles offered are a management trainee or GET. In our batch, around 20 students received internships from companies like Reliance, Tata Steel, Bajaj, Exxon Mobile, TVS, etc. The rest students are in some research internships or industrial training. For internships, few companies visit the college, but for FTE roles, many companies visit the college.
Infrastructure: All labs and classrooms in our departments are air-conditioned, having unlimited and seamless Wi-Fi facilities. Lift is also being installed in our department. Regarding lecture venues, it is nice to have AC and non-AC rooms. There is mostly AC, and mostly, in all classes smartboard is being installed. The rest facilities are available here. Regarding the hostel, it is the same thing, but we get non-AC rooms. LAN is available. The internet speed is very fast. Mess is also fine, and it offers good quality food. Both veg and non-veg options are available. Medical facilities are also great. Regarding sports and games, we have many facilities like TT, football, cricket, and badminton. There is a new sports complex with all indoor facilities, a gym, and a squash court.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified, mostly from IITs and foreign universities. The teaching quality is fine and understandable. The course curriculum is a bit tough but manageable. After the implementation of NEP, new courses like AI, electric vehicles have been introduced. Semester exams are a bit tough and tricky sometimes, but anyone who is sincere regarding studies can easily ace them by maintaining a good balance of academics and co-curricular activities. Mostly, almost everyone passes exams, and if someone fails in a case, they can attend the back paper and clear it.
Other: I have an interest in machines and dynamics. Here, there are many labs and clubs that work on robotics, electric vehicles, drones, and underwater robots, which I am fascinated by, so I chose it. Attendance of 85% sometimes becomes a huddle. The campus surroundings are nice and wonderful. There are many events here in a year, like 4-5 big events. The campus crowd is a bit high since we have 14 disciplines. There are scholarships available from the government and college alumni for needy, deprived, or financially weak students.

Absolutely dissatisfied with mess food but good infrastructure and facilities are also okay.
Placements: 100% of students are placed. 2025 internship session is not at all good. Maximum students do not get paid internships on-campus. Students struggled a lot to get off-campus internship also. The placement committee is not good. Being a mechanical student Bajaj and TCS are the recruiters.
Infrastructure: Mess food is not at all good, rest everything is okay. Games room doesn't have any sort of games in girls hostel. Cleaning is taken care of okay, hostel have rooms of comparatively small size also. Canteens do not have any sort of cleanliness, rest everything is okay.
Faculty: Exams are of medium level but level of education is still old school. 75% of attendance is too tough when you are sick by hook or by crook. You need to get your leave approved by that day only, otherwise your leave approval will not be done, and you will face a grade back.
Other: Fests are good. Extracurricular activities involved being a part of various clubs and societies. Rest of the zone factor is very annoying as a person not from the zone will not get opportunities easily for sure.

There is a Golden Jubilee building that functions very well, and we have the TIIR building where new startups and ideas from the college get funded and bring opportunities for the future.

There are nine halls of residence, seven for boys and two for girls with an overall accommodation capacity of over 3,000 boarders. Available facilities are a badminton court, basketball court, cricket ground, swimming pool, tennis court, etc.
Faculty: National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (NIT Rourkela) has experienced faculty members. They have their degrees, Ph.Ds, and diplomas. It employs various professors, associate professors, assistant professors in grade 2, and various other faculty members.
Other: At NIT Rourkela, fests occur very well. I chose this course as I find it very interesting and I am loving it. As many girls don't choose this course, I think there must be some awareness given so that everyone could take this course.
