Placements in the college were great, but the core companies we're little less, and the dual degree placements were very bad though.

NIT Rourkela in a nutshell.
Placements: Mostly, students get placed in tech jobs. The average package is 14 LPA. The median package is around 11 LPA. The highest is 51 LPA this year. Various tech companies come to recruit students with above 8 CGPA. They usually test for on-site coding skills, personality, etc.
Infrastructure: About the hostel, the network coverage is slightly cramped. Only on the upper floors does the mobile data work. Airtel coverage is good here. The rest of the ground floor people have to use the Ethernet provided to them. To play games, a VPN is necessary on Ethernet.
Faculty: Curriculum and exams are top-notch. Timing, spacing, and vacation are up to the standards but faculty members have mixed feedback. Class timings are moderately good, you can agree to disagree with it. Mostly the professors are good and some are just the worst kind. The course is good and better curated.

Shubham Anand Shiksha review.
Placements: Every year more than 90 percent of students got placed in top companies of India. My college offered to them was 12 LPA to 2 LPA. Top recruiting companies in India hired my college students. The percentage of students got internships from my course in companies like Amazon and Ola was more than 60 percent.
Infrastructure: The facilities available in my department were so good. Infrastructure of college was average. But classroom and library were available for all students. Wi-Fi was not present in this college. The quality and facility in my hostel canteen were so superb. Sports and games were also good.
Faculty: Teachers in my course were very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They had great teaching qualities. This course curriculum was relevant, and students were industry-ready. Semester exam in my course was little difficult to pass. But pass percentage was more than 90 percent.
Other: I chose this course to gain knowledge from my college. There was nothing to improve in my course. Scholarship was also available for all students.

NIT Rourkela Ceramic Engineering review.
Placements: 100% of students are placed in my department. The highest package is 31 LPA. The lowest is 3.5 LPA. The average is 12.6 LPA. Top recruiters include Tata Steel, JSW, JSL, Calderys, Saint-Gobain, etc. 20% of students get internships in their third year at Tata Steel, JSW, JSL, Saint-Gobain, Reliance, BIS, etc. Top roles include Graduate Engineer Trainee and Quality Control Engineer.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, and the library are accessible all day, along with AC. Food quality is better than most hostels I've been to. Non-veg food is available five times a week, and there is a dedicated Jain mess. Classrooms are equipped with a central AC system. There are also reading room facilities in the hostels with AC.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful if you ask them your doubts. Subjects are curriculum-relevant. Semester exams are sometimes tough and sometimes easy. The pass percentage is 35%. The questions are mostly from the previous year's question papers, which are available on the website to download and prepare.

Great choice for Mining Engineering with supportive faculty and vibrant culture.
Placements: NIT Rourkela Mining branch has decent placements. Around 80% students got placed. The highest package was 12 LPA, and the average was around 7-8 LPA. Top recruiters are Coal India and Vedanta. Many students got management trainee and graduate engineer roles. 
Infrastructure: The mining department has decent labs and classrooms with decent Wi-Fi connectivity. The central library is huge and well-stocked. Hostels are average; room's are okay, but maintenance could be better. Mess food is manageable, but gets repetitive. Sports facilities and medical campus care are quite good. 
Faculty: The faculty members in the mining department are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and generally supportive. The teaching quality is good, though some subjects require self-study. The curriculum is relevant and aligned with industry standards. Semester exams are moderate difficult, and the pass percentage is quite high, around 90-95%. .
Other: I chose mining due to the strong core placements. The best thing is the huge, green campus and the active club culture. Fest season, like Innovision and Nitrutsav, is amazing and brings great energy. The campus crowd is diverse, and extracurricular opportunities are plenty, though traveling out of Rourkela takes time.
