Which is better for an M.Tech, IIEST (Shivpur), Jadavpur University, NIT (Durgapur) or NIR (Rourkela)?

Choosing one institute between IIEST, NIT Durgapur and NIT Rourkela depends on your interests and preferences. If you want to spend your college life conducting cutting-edge research and making projects, IIEST is the one for you. But if you want an active campus life with a lot of fun activities going on and an average workload, then choose one between Durgapur and NIT Rourkela. 

Personally, I will recommend you to join NIT Rourkela as it’s among the top 5 NITs. Its campus is second only to IIT KGP, one of the largest in the country. It has an active club culture so you can also pursue your passions alongside your academics. 

Here is a statistical comparison between these 3 institutes

I got NIT Rourkela for biotechnology and VSSUT for electrical. Which is the best in the sense of placement records?

SV
Sudeeksha Verma Posted On : August 14th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

Both NIT Rourkela and VSSUT are at the same level in terms of placements. BioTech students from NIT Rourkela and Electrical students from VSSUT get placed in software firms like TCS/IBM. Therefore, I recommend you look beyond placements and adopt a broader perspective. Identify where your interests and passions lie and approach that path rather than running after placements.

The field of Biotechnology is growing at a fast pace with cutting-edge research taking place. Many of NIT Rourkela Biotechnology alumni are today advancing into successful careers or research paths. Some examples are

  • An alumnus is currently pursuing his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford.
  • Another alumnus is pursuing her master's at the University of California at Berkeley.
  • A senior is currently pursuing Ph.D. at the national university of Taiwan. 

The best part of Biotechnology at NIT Rourkela is the limited number of students which increases your chances of performing well in competitive exams like GATE increases. 

Overall, being a part of a well-reputed institute like NIT Rourkela will offer great exposure both academically and personally. As an Electrical student at VSSUT, you will most probably be getting into a boring job at PSU. Moreover, Burla has a deteriorating infrastructure and poor campus facilities. So go for NIT Rourkela!

How is the food and accommodation at NIT Rourkela?

RA
Ritesh Agarwal Posted On : September 6th, 2023
B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2013)

NIT Rourkela has ten hostels in total, of which two are for girls. They are CV Raman Hall of Residence (CVR) and Kiran Majumdar Shaw Hall of Residence (KMS). Let us look into both in detail

Food – CV Raman Hall is huge when compared with KMS. They can accommodate around 700-800 girls. The increase in students will largely affect the quality of the food. If you are from North India, it would be difficult to adapt to the food available here. But they make a variety of dishes every day, which helps you cope with the taste of the food.

Kiran Majumdar Shaw Hall of Residence (KMS) can accommodate only a small number of students. They provide more delicious food than CV Raman Hall.

Accommodation – In CVR, you have to share a room with one of your batchmates, and the rooms are very small.

KMS provides larger rooms than CVR. So it is better for you to opt for KMS for good food and accommodations.

Is ECE better than CSE in NIT Rourkela?

SM
Subhankar Mitra Posted On : August 14th, 2023
studied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

I am yet to understand the blind passion people possess for the CSE branch including those who have no interest in the field whatsoever. Even if you have a passion for CSE, the NIT Rourkela is certainly not the right place to bring out your abilities in this field. The placements, undoubtedly, are excellent at par with some new IITs. bit NIT Rourkela lacks in other major aspects such as

  • Highly underqualified professors. In fact, the majority of the CSE classes are conducted by teaching assistants of professors who have degrees from average engineering colleges. 
  • Professors have no fixed marking criteria and students face serious issues when marks are deducted unnecessarily.
  • The curriculum is obsolete and does not meet industry standards. Students who are serious about academics have to take up MOOCs to learn additional things.

Irrespective of the branch you go for between CSE and ECE, you will witness similar job opportunities and success rates. Most students get placed in huge firms like Amazon, Microsoft, and Samsung. So, choosing the right branch in your case depends on your personal preference and interests.

How is NIT Rourkela for food processing engineering?

SV
Sudeeksha Verma Posted On : September 5th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

Food Processing and Engineering is an amazing field for students with a passion for food processing. NIT Rourkela has an excellent department in Food Processing and Engineering. This course mainly dealt with food mechanisms and maintaining quality

This field opens sufficient research and job opportunities, and this institute provides placement support with a decent salary package. Other than campus placement, you can also opt for IIM-A (ABM), XIMB (MBA), NIBM (Pune), or BITS Pilani. Some students prefer doing a PhD and MTech in NIFTEM as well.

I am thinking of joining biomedical engineering in NIT Rourkela, having a rank of 39,643 along with home qota. Should I join there?

SV
Sudeeksha Verma Posted On : September 5th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

You will get a seat in biomedical engineering with this rank. Many students who opt for biomedical engineering usually end up in other fields. Our country does not have many job opportunities in this field. If you are highly passionate, then go for it. You can either opt for higher studies or go abroad.

Apart from the brand value, NITs are good for getting high exposure in life; you will get a chance to interact with diverse cultures and handle more responsibilities. NITs are also incredible for their extracurricular activities

So, make a wise decision by considering all the aforementioned factors
