NIT Rourkela is ranked better by MHRD because the institute has twenty [1]departments which offer B. Tech, B. Tech-M. Tech Dual, M. Tech, M.Sc, Integrated M.Sc, MBA and PhD degree.

Both NIT Rourkela and NIT Kurukshetra are similar, one cannot draw comparison. However, there are certain security concerns[2] in NIT Rourkela.

Definitely you have to go to mechanical at kurukshetra.

Nit kurukshetra is a decent nit .

Although nit Rourkela is a top nit but industrial engineering isn't good . Its scope is low and not good placements.

So mechanical at kurukshetra is better placement wise 

Hello Shiva,
Mechanical engineering at NIT kurukshetra is better the industrial design at NIT rourkela. Mechanical engineering has more scope than industrial design engineering course. If you take mechanical then you have to get high paid jobs. If you interested in industrial design course then go ahead with it. Otherwise take mechanical engineering course at NIT kurukshetra. I think it is the best choice for you. Hope it helps for you.
Thank you
