Placements: NIT Rourkela started Architecture branch in year 2013. So till now there are very less number of alumnis from this branch. And there are only 20 seats there.

Infrastructure: The new architecture building is under construction. And now we have studios and classrooms are in another building. Infrastructure wise it's good and college provides lot of opportunities here. As a 1st year student, we live in VS hostel, and infrastructure wise it's a good hostel having more than 1000 students. It has all the facilities like gym, badminton, table tennis, night and day canteen.

Faculty: Faculty members are student friendly. They help us in academics. They are well educated and experienced. But NIT RKL study curriculum is little bit outdated. Faculty members are highly experienced and very well versed in their respective subjects. They are very helpful towards the students in every aspect. The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:15. There are majorly 2 exams named midsemester and endsemester.

It's actually not very bad experience, also you can find plenty of opportunities.

Placements: So the thing is here in architecture placement is very tough the batch is already small number like 16-20 student are in one batch, only 1-2 student get placed, and 1-3 companies are here to hire. Most common L&T construction will here and give max 6 LPA and other student can get off campus placement not easily but still can get opportunities.

Infrastructure: Our department is good actually, here faculty members are nice, personal library is there only for architecture student, and also have decent computer lab and working studios. Other than department hostel is quite good, mess food is also average, you can get plenty of options in food items also and both options veg and non veg. Medical dispensary is there easily get medicine there, and sports and games also have plenty of opportunities in playing inter NIT and much more, there are 20+ clubs to be a member.

Faculty: Actually professor are good in teaching they provide materials, also in my coarse practical subjects are more and more conventional, the curriculum is bit hectic though, I think because of NEP policy, also there is so much extra curriculum activities were there. Exam part is difficult mid sem is easier then end sem is very difficult .

Other: Honesty I don't why I choose this course, I get selected in this branch, I didn't expect to be turn out this I am happy actually with this coarse, obviously it's very hectic but sometimes I really like these coarse when you tell someone else about this coarse, and yes here fest and surrounding is very good events also happens very much here and there also festival is made here kind family feeling.
