Very good. Actually, I have no problem in placement, studies, or other activities.
Placements: Very good placement rate, 97 percent. The highest package is 31 LPA, the average is 12 LPA, and the lowest is 9 LPA. Many companies come, and then there is an interview. Students study together, which benefits everyone. In fact, most of the students get an internship. Civil is a very good branch, so come to this college for placement.
Infrastructure: Very good classrooms, which also have AC inside, and a new sports complex is being built. Ethernet is available in the rooms. The rooms are very good and have table, chair, fan, and bed. Most of the books are provided in the library. There is also a night canteen for night stays, which has almost all the food items.
Faculty: Teachers are very good in nature, and apart from studies, they also talk about other activities and placements. College exams are not that hard if any student studies a little properly. During exam time, teachers also tell important questions, and almost all the students pass the exams. 33 percent is required.
Other: I don't want to say anything about the college, because the college is very good.

NIT Rourkela is an awesome college.
Placements: Now let's talk about placements. This college’s placements are nice. Around 74% to 82% of students get placed in our course. The highest salary package in our college is 64 LPA, the average salary package is 18 LPA, and the lowest salary package is 9 LPA. Companies like Aditya Birla, Tata, Cipla, and PhonePe recruit students from our course.
Infrastructure: Facilities available in our hostel include Wi-Fi, drinking water, light, fans, and beds. Fully air-conditioned classrooms are available in our college. A central library is also available on our campus, and books can be issued by students. The quality of food in the mess is average.

It's a good college as it's one of the top most colleges in India. The college life is good.
Placements: Almost 80 to 90 percent of students got placed. The highest package is around 80 lakh. Last year it was 1.2 crore. The lowest is around 5 lakh, and the average is around 12 to 15 lakhs. Top recruiting companies are Wells Fargo, Visa, JSW, Accenture, and many more. Around 60 to 70 percent of students got internships, and companies include Visa, Accenture, and many more. The role offered is SWE.
Infrastructure: Rooms are not so high-end, but it's okay for our branch. There is Wi-Fi in classrooms, and labs are also good with around 80 computers in each lab. The library is good. It remains open from 9 AM to 9 PM. You will get Wi-Fi, books, e-books, and many more options. In the hostel, rooms are of decent size, and bathrooms are also in nice condition. Daily maintenance happens. Wi-Fi is available in every room. Food quality is also okay not very good, but satisfactory. There is a dispenser inside the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, but the curriculum is very old and not suited to modern days. It does not make a student industry-ready. Exams are quite difficult, especially the end-of-semester exams, because the syllabus is very wide, and they ask mid-semester portions. The pass percentage is 35 percent.
Other: I got as per my score, which is good according to current days, because the industry is growing. Industry-ready elements should be included in the course, and practical aspects should be increased. Campus life is very good. Many great fests are organised on campus every year, and students enjoy them a lot.
