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.

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.
