Hello,

Both NITs are outstanding in every way. However, NITK offers somewhat higher placements and rankings. The only college with a beach is NIT SURATHKAL, and it has a wonderful private beach.

NITK is a Nationally Important Institution. Despite how useless the rankings are, NITK is listed as one of the best engineering schools in the nation. Real and accurate evaluations are quite difficult to come by. The quality of an institution can only be accurately evaluated by those who have firsthand knowledge. It is crucial to remember that the teaching method is the most crucial factor to take into account while evaluating the Institute in terms of undergraduate courses.

The views of the students are crucial, yet they are unreliable for obvious reasons. No one dares criticise the course material, the calibre of instruction, or the evaluation process while they are a student because they are undoubtedly anxious about the marks or grade that the instructor will assign.

Thank You

Hello,

The first factor to take into account while choosing a branch is "Interest".

Pick EE if you have an interest in electrical. Choose mechanical if you are interested in mechanics, thermodynamics, automobiles, or aircraft.

EE will always outperform mechanical in terms of placement.

At NIT Rourkela, mechanical is a famous department. SVNIT Rourkela In NIT, EE is superior to Mechanical. Rourkela.
SVNIT EE is better than Mechanical in NIT Rourkela.

Thank You


Hello,

It first relies on your area of interest. If CSE is truly your area of interest, IIIT Gwalior is the school I would advise you to attend. Mechanical engineering at NIT Rourkela is a great option if you are not.

Mechanical engineering at NIT Rourkela is one of the greatest departments, with excellent academics and job placements. Mechanical engineering at NIT Rourkela is excellent in every way. If you choose mechanical engineering at NIT Rourkela, you won't regret it.

Thank You

Hello Student,

We would first like to tell you that there are many factors that help determine the kind of placement you might get:

  • Your branch : If you are in cse, ece or eee then you might begin with a higher starting package as compared to the core branches (mech, Chem, biotech, civil and meta).

  • Your technical skills:

  • Your grades: Youll find many people who say that grade points dont matter but believe me THEY Do. So I would highly recommend that you maintain a decent grade point.

Hello,

You are rank are very low as compare to previous year cutoffs , the previous year closing rank was around 7.9k for sc category for the lower most branch in NIT, rourkela. Either you can wait for the spot round selection( but chances are very less) or you can apply for some other NITs or you can give the state counseling. In state counseling you have some chances of getting a govt seat in top engineering colleges. Better you can apply for the state counseling and get into some best colleges of state with a good branch like mechanical, electrical or IT.

All the best

Hello,

You cannot get NIT, ROURKELA with this much rank. Your rank are too high in sc category,  as per previous year reports sc category cutoffs are close around 8k for the lower most branch in spot round selection and if you have CRL 1.6lakh then you have no chances of getting into any NIT.  Try other college or take a year drop and prepare well and good. You can also apply for state counseling,  but chances for govt seat are much less.

All the best

Hi Suresh,

Firstly you should have specified the course, however, there seems like there is a low chance of NIT Rourkela for you. If we see the last year's cutoff even in the last round, you can get B.Tech + M.Tech Chemical Engineering if you belong to the home state, otherwise, you cannot because, for other states, the rank closed at around 4k.

The second option is B.Tech + M.Tech Metallurgical & Materials Science, there is a chance here only if you belong to the home state.

The third and last option is B.Tech. Food Process Engineering, that too if you belong to the home state, as for the HS, the rank closed at around 10k.

Hope it helps.

hello aspirant

With the above mentioned rank in SC category in JEE mains and according to the previous year JEE mains Cutoff data, you have difficult chances to get low branches in NIT rourkela even with the Home state quota. The previous year jee mains Cutoff for Biomedical Engineering (the lowest Branch) in NIT rourkela for SC category students was around 7643, for Home State, and for Other state the cutoff was 4721. So, with the above rank you have difficult chanecs of getting any low branch in NIT rourkela.

But do not worry as you can get admission in other Low ranked NIT's if you have the home state quota for those colleges. Secondly, you can also take admission in many of the good state level engineering colleges in State Counselling because these state colleges are much better than most of the Low-ranked NIT's as well.
