5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Good campus life along with good placements.

Placements: Almost all students got placed by the end of the year. The highest package was in the software domain, and in core, Vedanta provided the highest package. Major recruiters are Tata Steel, Vedanta, JSW, Orica, Aditya Birla Group, IMFA, etc. The roles provided are mostly GET and MT.

Infrastructure: All the classrooms are fully digitalized, with all types of laboratories ranging from mechanics to software. All the classrooms have Wi-Fi. There is a central library which covers everything one is in need of. Hostel rooms are good, with bed, table, and chair. The quality of food in the mess is good. There is a dispensary where you can get health treatment.

Faculty: All the faculty members are highly qualified. They are very supportive and helpful throughout the entire B.Tech. Every batch is assigned a faculty advisor who guides us throughout. The course curriculum is beautifully designed, covering the syllabus of the GATE examination.

Review of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering at NIT Rourkela.

Placements: About 75% of the students got placed. The highest package was 15LPA. Lowest package was 3. LPA, an average packages was 12 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Deloitte and Wipro. In the southwest, Tata Consultancy Services, Aditya Birla Group, Reliance Industries, and many more. About 60% students got an internship. Most of them got internship at Reliance industries, Aditya Birla and research labs. Top roles offered are research associate bioinformatics, Bioprocess engineer and many more.

Infrastructure: The classroom infrastructure is modern with comfortable seating. Having air ventilation and smart boards. The library has large number of books and extensive number of resources, and also access to online repositories. The college has a central research facility, which supports high-end analytical instruments and interdisciplinary access. Boys' hostels have double occupancy rooms. Each room is equipped with a bed, table, chair, LAN connection, fan, and adequate storage. Hostel provides four times meals a day, including veg and non-veg option. The Medical Center provides free medical care for students. There are regular doctoral visits and 24/7 ambulance facility.

Faculty: Most faculty members hold Ph.D. from prestigious universities like NIT's, IITs and some of them also got Ph.D. from international universities. Teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and easily appreciable. The teaching is based on theoretical lectures. The curriculum covers biotechnology, medical engineering, molecular Biology, and many more. It does not make student a completely industry-ready one. Semester exams are moderate and almost eighty to ninety percent students pass.

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.

We have very vibrant and beautiful campus that you will definitely enjoy.

Placements: I don't know the placement percentage properly right now, but placements are decent. M. Many students got internships, mainly in the core branch and circuit branches. Mainly, you will find Amazon, Flipkart, and TCS- and Infosys-like companies hiring, and also some startups, which is very useful if you want to get experience and exposure to teaching, as PSUs have limited opportunities and working areas, which you will not get.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good as far as I have explored, but the internet connection is very poor. Other than that, I don't think there are any issues you will face here, except the attendance rule. Medical facilities are good. 2 hospitals and one medical store are there. The food is good with a variety of options.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, but in class, you may not get it sometimes, as the teachers' teaching skills are not very good; it's good, but you might have read it by yourself only. Most students study on their own at exam time. The rest of the time, they enjoy.

Other: I have chosen biomedical engineering because, honestly, I didn't get ECE as per my rank, but since biomedical is interdisciplinary to the electrical branch, and also NIT Rourkela is a tier 1 college, the environment you will get here is amazing. You can learn engineering from anywhere (we also study from NPTEL, etc.). Personality can't be upgraded or built anywhere. Events, fests, and sports activities are held regularly, so there is no issue from that side. The only issue in NIT Rourkela is the connectivity issue; the internet connection is not good. You will get a network somewhere and not somewhere else.

Review of Civil Engineering Department at NIT Rourkela.

Placements: About 90% Students were placed in civil engineering. The highest package was 20 LPA, and the lowest package was 6,00,000 per annum. Average package was about 10,00,000 per annum. Top recruiting companies are Tata Projects, BPCL, TCS, and Larsen and Toubro. About 50% students secured intensive. And mostly got an internship at Tata. Some of the top roles offered are site engineer, project manager, etc.

Infrastructure: There are advanced, well-equipped labs for all major civil engineering disciplines. The classrooms are spacious, air-conditioned, and have smart boards. The Central Library has a large collection of civil engineering books and access to journals and digital resources. There are double occupancy rooms available. Mess food is average. Colleges 24 into seven ambulance service. And a well-equipped campus health center.

Faculty: Most civil engineering faculty members are highly qualified. Some have done their Ph.D. at IITs or at International Universities. Faculty members are helpful and knowledgeable. The course is not relevant, and new specialities are not included, hence a lack in industry demands. The semester exams are moderate, and almost all the students pass.

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.
