What is a better option, NIT Durgapur for chemical or NIT Rourkela for biotechnology?

AB

The choice of an institute depends on 2 major factors, the credibility of the institute and the branch you are getting. In terms of the worth of the institute NIT Rourkela clearly overpowers NIT Durgapur. NIT Rourkela ranks second in East India after IIT Kharagpur. 

NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is designed for students whose primary focus is pursuing qualitative research and g for a Masters's or Ph.D. That being said, it has limited job opportunities and the placement percentage is as low as 60%. Moreover, only a handful of core companies make offers and the average CTC offered is in the range of 5 -6 Lakhs. 

 NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering is a suitable choice if you prioritize placements to research work. Even the core placements are decent here with companies like IOCL, etc visiting the campus during placements. 

Ultimately, both institutes and branches offer diverse opportunities so you need to consider your inclinations first. If you are a research enthusiast, NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is great but if your first preference is earning money, then go for NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering.

How is MA Development Studies at NIT Rourkela?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 5th, 2023

It is better not to opt for NIT Rourkela, as it is not a humanity-oriented college. The recruiters mostly prefer students from the science field. The disadvantage of this college is that you only concentrate on your respective subject. You don’t get enough time to prepare for other competitive exams because of the workload. So try to get admission to a humanity-oriented college for a better future

What should I opt for, VSSUT Burla mechanical or NIT Rourkela for food processing?

AB

lives in New Delhi

The choice between VSSUT Burla Mechanical and NIT Rourkela Food Processing depends on whether you are a fresher or a dropper and your plans. 

  • Mechanical at VSSUT is the best option if you are a dropper because in your case the branch matters. 
  • However, if you are a fresher and are certain that you can perform better in the entrance exam next year, forgo both options.
  • But if you are just willing to get a BTech degree and are planning to pursue higher education in Management, then NIT will be better because it has better coaching institutes and environment. Also, the infrastructure is far better than VSSUT.
  • If you are willing to clear GATE then choose a core branch like mechanical at VSSUT is better. 
  • If you want to get employed somehow, then mechanical engineering has a great scope in most industries.

Ultimately consider your interests and future goals for the decision.

Considering most aspects, which is to be preferred for metallurgy: NIT Rourkela or NIT Surathkal?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 16th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I have friends in both the institutes namely NIT Surathkal and NIT Rourkela. Comparing the reviews I got from them NIT Rourkela seems to be a better option than NIT Surathkal. The primary reason is that its location in the Orissa-Jhansi belt improves the quality of core placements. The faculty however is the same everywhere so that point isn't comparable. Honestly speaking, Metaullurty is a risky branch irrespective of whichever NIT you are getting unless it's an IIT. So, I will advise you to go for CS in new IIIts rather than Metallurgy in top NITs. 

It's illogical to go for a risky branch just for the NIT tag because, in the end, it's your branch that opens doors for opportunities and shapes your career.

So, choose wisely!

Which is better for Chemical Engineering, NIT Rourkela or ICT Mumbai?

DS
Dheeraj Sengupta Posted On : April 8th, 2021
Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai (2017)

My suggestion will be the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. The reasons are mentioned below.

  • It is solely dedicated to chemical engineering, unlike NIT Rourkela.
  • It is famous for producing brilliant chemical engineers for years now.
  • It has location benefits as Maharashtra and Gujarat are home to many industries. This helps in easy internship opportunities and placements also.
  • Many good companies and even PSUs participate in the campus placement drive. Even if you have low CGPA points, you will get hired if you do well at the interview.
  • The professors are the best in their respective domains. They also have good connections in the industry. They can help you get placed in any industry with just one letter.

Chemical engineering is a part of many departments in NIT Rourkela or any other NIT but ICT Mumbai specializes in it. Hope it helps.

What should I prefer, BITS Goa for ECE or NIT Rourkela for CSE?

DJ
Dinesh Johri Posted On : August 23rd, 2021
Studying B.Tech from National Institutes of Technology (2024)

Go for NIT Rourkela if you are getting a seat in CSE. It is considered as one of the best NITs for CSE. 

The coding culture at the institute is outstanding and still developing day by day. You will be offered great exposure at NIT Rourkela. However, the institute has very high cut off and the competition is high.

Statistics –

Particulars BITS Goa NIT Rourkela
Total fees 19.19 Lakhs 6.4 Lakhs
Placement percent 90% 85%
Highest salary INR 40 LPA INR 42 LPA
Average salary INR 12 LPA INR 12 LPA

BITS Pilani is a good option but not for ECE. It would be better if you go for CSE at NIT Rourkela.

Which is better for B.Tech. mechanical at NIT Jalandhar or mechanical at NIT Rourkela overall

AT
Archana Tiwari Posted On : December 8th, 2022
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2018)

My friend is an NIT Jalandhar pass out so I can speak about that only. She regretted getting admission into NIT Jalandhar. She faced some serious problems

  • Faculty: The professors were below average in their teaching methods. Most lacked the basic knowledge and just read out from books. Moreover, if you don’t win their favor you get fewer marks in assignments. This affects your overall CGPA.

  • Crowd: It will be hard to find a diverse crowd here as most of the students hail from Punjab itself. Even their language is common within the campus.

  • Placements: Talking specifically about Mechanical Engineering placements, the condition is pretty bad. The average package this year was INR 7.87 LPA while the highest CTC was just INR 8.4 LPA.

  • Hostels: The first and second-year hostels do not have Wi-Fi connections which is a major drawback. Hostels 3-7 are also averagely built. Mega Hostels have better facilities in comparison to other hostels at NIT Jalandhar.

These are some shortcomings of NIT Jalandhar which might affect your overall experience. You can research the same for NIT Rourkela and make a comparison. In case NIT Rourkela is even worse, then NIT Jalandhar is your last option.
