How is the chemical engineering department at NIT Rourkela?

According to the student’s reviews online, you should not opt for chemical engineering at NIT Rourkela. 

Here are some reasons as to why:

• The faculty of the department is not good, they are mostly new at their jobs and have very little educational experience.
• They focus more on theoretical learning than practicals.
• They prefer when students mug up theories rather than understanding them in depth.
• The teachers sometimes give so many assignments that it becomes impossible to complete them in time.
• There is a lot of communication gap between students and teachers.

Lastly, the placement scenario of this department is bad. Most of the students are going into the IT sector and a very few got recruited in core industries and many students did not even receive placement offers.

So considering everything it is suggested you do not pursue chemical engineering at NIT Rourkela.
