NIT Rourkela - National Institute of Technology Answered Questions

Hi,
Both Food processing and industrial design are different. So it solely depend on you that if you are interested to know the techniques behind food processing as well as gain knowledge for it then just move on for food processing engineering in NIT Rourkela. It is a new branch started in NIT Rourkela and very soon it has gained tremendous popularity in the mean time. It has hold a good placement record instead of a new branch. The placements of NIT Rourkela is good. The average placement of the college is around 6-7 LPA. Mostly, all the student got placed. Last year, the highest package was 29 LPA which is offered by Amazon. Many core and analytical company visit every year. Around 90-100% of the students got placed. In NITJ, placements of Industrial and Production is comparable to mechanical, which is pretty good. Lot of good MNCs come to NITJ for recruitment. Usually number of offers are higher than number of students. And given a choice in between NIT Rourkela and Jalandhar, Rourkela has got better ranking, hence should be preferred. All the best for future. Thank you

Hi,
When its about B.tech in any stream NIT Rourkela comes out to be the best.When you say about Ceramic Engineering in NIT Rourkela and look upon the past records , you would not be much satisfied. But with the changing scenario, Ceramic engineering is doing pretty well and its demand is also increasing day by day.
Although there was a time when placements in department of ceramic engineering was inappropriate, but now with time and changing scenario, number of core companies like Vedanta, TRL, OCL etc. visit NIT Rourkela to recruit. Also there is the provision for every department students to sit for companies from IT sector(TCS, IBM etc. ) as well as analytics(Affine, ZS Associates etc). So overall placements in Ceramic engineering is quite good.
As the number of Ceramic Engineers is quite less than other Streams, So if you are talented enough you will definitely grab a job while leaving NIT.
The students are getting an average package of 7-8 LPA , it increases eventually.
Students are also doing pretty well in GATE.
Hence the branch is doing well and its demand is increasing day by day.
All the best for future.
Thank you

Hi, It's going to be difficult to find a fully funded Masters programme. You can check the DAAD scholarship for Indian students, they are merit-based and mostly funded in principle of research, only a few Masters programmes can be eligible. See if you can apply for MS/Ph.D programmes which in some cases may be atleast partially funded.
