It entirely depends on which branch you are choosing. If you are getting CSE or IT at NIT Allahabad, go for it. It will be the better option because of the placement opportunities available. For any other branches, you can choose either of these two institutes. The campus of NIT Rourkela is better than NIT Allahabad.

Which college should I prefer NIT rkl or BITS Goa or Hyderabad even?

RA
Ribhu Arya Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.E. Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus (2020)

When it comes down to making a choice between institutes it is better to think point-wise before coming to a decision. Everyone wants a good institute to study in which has great academics and also has great placements along with extracurricular activities.

BITS Goa would be the better option here only if there’s no financial problem. NIT Rourkela is also one of the best NITs, but when it comes to CSE department BITS will take the lead here. BITS Pilani or the Goa campus would be more preferable over NIT Rourkela.

Categories NIT Rourkela BITS Goa BITS Hyderabad
Course Fee 6.4 lakh 19.19 lakh 19.19 lakh
Highest CTC 20 LPA 24 LPA 25 LPA
Average CTC 12-13 LPA 11 LPA 12 LPA
Recruiting Companies Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Infosys, SAP Labs, etc. Google, nVidia, DE Shaw, Arcesium, etc. Qualcomm, Cisco, Oracle, Texas Instruments, etc.

As of the current situation BITS, institutes have a high ranking place in our society with excellent academic records as well as placement stats. BITS Pilani is considered as an epitome of CSE engineering by most of the aspirants these days. Only the top 3 leading IIT’s are in comparison with BITS Pilani.

Which one is better, NIT Rourkela or NIT Warangal?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 17th, 2023

NIT Rourkela and NIT Warangal are among the top NITs. In the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering colleges, NIT Rourkela is at the 16th position while NIT Warangal is at the 21st position. 

One of the reasons why NIT R is behind NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal is because of its poor connectivity. NIT R does not have proper airport and railway facilities. However, the infrastructure and placements at NIT R are top notch and at par with other top Indian Engineering colleges.

Both NIT Rourkela and NIT Warangal are top colleges. It also depends on the branch you get at these two. I would suggest you talk to the alumni from both these colleges before making a final choice.

One of my female friends shared her hostel life experience at NIT Rourkela. Here is a glimpse of what her hostel life looked like

  • She was allotted B block of KMS hostel, which has the biggest and most spacious rooms among all hostels of the institute.
  • The institute has a variety of eateries including 1 night canteen and 1 day canteen
  • The hostel has a number of rules and regulations, one such being the late entry rule wherein if you don’t enter the hostel by 11:00 PM, you have to enter your name in the late entry register. This cannot happen more than thrice a month else your parents will be informed.
  • Breakfast options are limited such as bread, eggs, bananas, cornflakes, milk, and tea. These items are supplementary to an additional menu 
  • The lunch menu is great for non-veg lovers while the dinner is very pathetic.
  • Although washrooms are cleared daily, hygiene and cleanliness need to be improved.
  • Festivals like NITR, Garden Fest, and Hall Fest make the hostel life more vibrant and happening.
  • There is a common room with indoor sports facilities and other leisure facilities.

Overall hostel life at BIT Mesra is decent for girls with a few restrictions.
