NIT Rourkela in a nutshell.

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.

NIT Rourkela Ceramic Engineering review.

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.

It is a good college for students who work hard and want good jobs and placements.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi in our hostel works on a 5G outdoor-based system, but most sites are blocked. Sometimes the internet goes off, which has also happened before exams. Only the top floors get 5G mobile data, while the lower floors barely get any network. Labs are old and not fully renovated, but they are manageable and help in scoring easily. Classrooms and the library are the best places on campus. The hostel is very old. The mess food is average but reasonable for the price. The gym is the best part, while...

Review of NIT Rourkela - National Institute of Technology.

Infrastructure: Our college has nice buildings and gear, which is really helpful for Science students. Labs have all tools we need, and the library is solid. The hostel is big enough for students who live far away. The eating area is always clean. The food is alright, but I wish they made more things that students actually like to eat. Classrooms are small.

Placements peaked in the year 2025-2026.

Infrastructure: All hostels have LAN, and all labs have Wi-Fi installed, while classes don't have Wi-Fi. The library is three-floored with Wi-Fi on every floor. The quality of food is debatable as it depends on the caterer, but still, there are high chances that the caterer is good and non-veg food is made very frequently in a week. Medical facilities include free medicine, which is basic, and an ambulance service with in campus apollo.
