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.

Good campus life along with good placements.

Placements: Almost all students got placed by the end of the year. The highest package was in the software domain, and in core, Vedanta provided the highest package. Major recruiters are Tata Steel, Vedanta, JSW, Orica, Aditya Birla Group, IMFA, etc. The roles provided are mostly GET and MT.

College is overrated be prefer only if you're in that region. Students are great, peers good minds.

Placements: I am not sure about the current year, but according to previous year data, 95%+ students in the electrical batch are placed. However, the LPA is not as impressive as in the IT sector or semiconductor companies. I would say the average is around 50 students who got 30 LPA and above, 10-11 students got 50 LPA and above, 1 student got 1.2 crores, and 3 students got 98 LPA last year.

College is good in terms of academics and placements.

Placements: Your skills matter to get a job. Many companies visit, but they mostly prefer to hire from the higher branches. For the lower branch, there are only a few opportunities. It's not 100% always, but almost 80% get placed every year. In my course, VISA, Natwest, and Cisco are the top recruiters.

Bitter truth of NIT Rourkela.

Placements: Before joining NIT Rourkela, like many others, had the impression that its placement scenario was outstanding. It is one of the best among engineering colleges. However, after joining the institute, my perspective has shifted significantly. In reality, the placement scene share feels only marginally better than that of many private colleges. Contrary to expectations, a limited number of top-tier NIT-level companies actually visit the campus. Even among those that do, they must tend to focus sole...

The closing rank for general category in M.Sc Chemistry was around 787.

You rank is actually very close to the cutoff.

You may receive a seat in 2nd round or 3rd round as it might change across the rounds when seats freed.

Congratulations on your excellent rank and all the best.
