Excellent college for research.
Placements: The National Institute of Technology Rourkela is one of the premier colleges. The placements are good for UG students. However, for PG, the placements are not that good. For Power Systems Engineering, the placement percentage is almost 50%. The lowest package will be 6 LPA, and the highest package will be around 13-15 LPA. The average percentage will be 10 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is too good. The Wi-Fi speed needs to be increased. It's 20 Mbps, but we typically get around 15-17 Mbps. The labs, library, and classrooms are very good. The hostel is good, but the food quality and taste need to be improved. The medical facility is also good.
Faculty: Many faculty members are excellent. They teach the subjects very well, and in the labs, they allow us to do anything we want. However, a few faculty members are not that good. The curriculum is somewhat difficult and is more research-oriented. The passing percentage is 90-100% for PG.
