    Review of NIT Rourkela - National Institute of Technology.
    Placements: The average placement is okay, but honestly, the top package really surprises us each time. This time around, it reached 21 LPA, which is not too shabby. Students can start looking for campus placements from their 7th semester, which is pretty nice. You won’t find giants like Google or Microsoft coming to campus, but don't worry! You'll definitely see reputable names like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Cognizant, and Capgemini. They come around and offer some solid packages.
    Infrastructure: Even though the college's overall infrastructure is just okay, the campus-wide Wi-Fi, well-used labs, comfy classrooms, and extensive library really make up for it. You know, having a wide range of textbooks and materials available on campus means students don’t have to spend a ton of money on resources outside. There’s transportation and on-campus housing if you need it. The mess is clean, and the food is pretty decent, though a few more student-favorite items wouldn't hurt.
    Faculty: The faculty and staff do a solid job here. First-year classes felt a lot like high school, which made the transition smoother. The yearly tests are not too tricky. The college does a nice job recognizing academic achievements and really goes out of its way to celebrate the top performers.

    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.

    NIT Rourkela for M.Tech electronic and communication course intake in 2025-26.
    Placements: Total 4 to 5 batches were available, and total 300 students got admission in this course. Many companies were interested and hiring the students. The highest package was 4 LPA to 10 LPA provided by the college.
    Infrastructure: In this college, infrastructure quality was very good. The college canteen food was very good. High-quality food was provided at this college. Every year organised sports and games tournaments were held for every student but they charged Rs 100 for participating in events.
    Faculty: College faculty members were also good. College teachers were very educated and very helpful to the students. This course had total 8 teachers and was allocated separately for the practical lecture. This course was very difficult to pass because there were 300 marks compulsory to clear the exam out of 800 marks, and there were all subjects marks.

    My honest review about my college.
    Placements: Placement was 100% for those who were interested. It also provided internships to other institutes. But those students who were studying at this college were not allowed to do an internship in its own institute. All companies in our stream were related to coaching institutes.
    Infrastructure: M.Sc. electronics and communication was a technical course. Course had many software simulation software like MATLAB, PSpice, and HDL for circuit designing, computation, and automation control systems. Here, the foremost focus was on the students to develop new interests in their interested fields. Hostel rooms were the best. For masters students, they provided single room. There were 7 hostels, 5 for boys and 2 for girls. Each hostel had on average 500 rooms. Everyday they clean bathrooms, toilets, and hostels. Each week, they spread mosquito pesticide.
    Faculty: Course covers most of the part of the CSIR UGC NET life science syllabus distributed in 4 semesters which helped clear CSIR UGC NET GATE BARC, ICMR, TIFR, IISC, DBT, etc. exams. Also includes 1 year of project work which will enhance your research skills and experience. There were 14 faculty members in life science department. All were post doctorate and had fruitful research background with many funding bodies. All faculty members were highly experienced, and experts in their relevant field with many publications.

    The college campus is very friendly.
    Placements: But the placements in my college are really good. All students who get a CGPA of seven or above can sit for Amazon and Microsoft placements, and for Google, it is 8 CGPA, and they check your projects and works and everything. This year, the average package went about 18 LPA for computer science, and many of the students got placed. The highest was 1.2 crores this year.
    Infrastructure: The annual tech first is called Innovation, where a lot of celebrities also come and give TED Talks. There is a large accessibility of books and journals available in the library, everything between from finance to quantum physics. Sports are heavily pushed here, from badminton grounds to cricket stadiums and volleyball courts, and there are many social groups and clubs and a student portal as well as even counseling support clubs.
    Faculty: Faculty in all colleges are somewhat the same; some are good, and some are a pain for students, but it's best to just keep doing your business and study properly. The exams aren't too difficult, but I would recommend starting to study at least 2 weeks prior to your exams. The correction again depends from subject to subject and upon the teachers as well. There are mid-sems and end-sems, and some teachers take class tests to grade your internals or give assignments to grade them.

    Faculty: Supportive professors and administrative staff.
    Placements: Infosys, TCS, Capgemini, etc. and all service-based companies are our regular recruiters. Microsoft and Google have visited the campus and gave the highest package of 2500000. Tata Ceramics, Cera, and Vedanta recruit ceramic engineers. All of us are placed in my batch from Ceramic Engineering. Alumni is very strong for our NIT; this is more than 60-year-old college. I have no idea on startups from my batch.
    Infrastructure: We have dual sharing rooms and single sharing rooms divided across 11 different hostels. Meal quality is quiet horrible but edible. Registration for the hostel and its affordability are quite stringent. But there is a provision for pure vegetarian eaters among all hostilities.
    Faculty: The M.Tech program at NIT Rourkela features a well-structured curriculum with a mix of core and elective courses. The faculty members are experienced and well-qualified. I selected this program for its Ph.D. or equivalent degrees and its academic reputation, industry connections, and research opportunities. NIT Rourkela maintains a favorable faculty-to-student ratio, ensuring individualized attention and guidance. The faculty holds employs a practical, application-oriented teaching approach. Term exams are typically conducted on schedule, and pass difficulty varies by course, with ample support provided for success.
