The college is good. It is equal to IIT level.

Placements: Approximately 80% students are placed. The highest package is 39 LPA, the lowest is 4 LPA, and the average is 12 LPA. Many tech giants come for interviews. There are not many core opportunities. There are many top roles, but not in core. If a student is placed at a tech IT company, then only he or she gets SDE-level posts. Most jobs are junior-level employee roles.

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.

Review of NIT Rourkela - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: We have a placement cell at our college that helps us out a ton. They're always sending us emails and texts, so we're ready when companies show up. Many deserving students get internships in companies like IBM, TCS, Flipkart, and Microsoft. Most of these pay at least Rs. 5,000 per month as a stipend.
