More than just academics - Life at NIT Rourkela.

Placements: Placements in the Mining dual degree branch at NIT Rourkela are decent. Around 70-90 percent of students get placed depending on the batch. The average package is around 6-8 LPA. Core mining companies like Coal India, Vedanta, and Tata Steel visiting. However, core opportunities are limited. So many students go for non-core roles like IT or analytics for better packages. Overall, placements are stable, but getting higher packages requires extra effort and skill development.

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.

It is a really good college, and academics are improving year by year.

Placements: A maximum of all students get placed at the end of last year in my course, and in other courses, placements are really good. Oracle is the top recruiting company in my course. Upto 90 percent of students get internships. It offers developer jobs in my course through placements.
