How would you rank the IIITs? Should I prefer IIIT Allahabad or NIT Rourkela?

Below is the rank of top IIITs in the country.

Name of the IIITs	IIIT NIRF ranking 2022
IIIT Hyderabad	62
ABV IIIT Gwalior	78
IIIT Bangalore	81
PDSM IIITDM Jabalpur	82

Which college should I choose among SGSITS (Indore), NIT Raipur and NIT Rourkela for a B.tech?

Aditya Mishra

26 Aug 22

You should choose NIT Rourkela for a B.Tech. It is a reputed NIT with a great placement record. NIT Rourkela placements 2022 had witnessed the average CTC of INR 20.88 LPA. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 46.08 LPA. Reputed companies such as VISA, Google, Apple, etc. took part in the placement drive.

If you are getting CSE/EE/ECE, you should definitely choose NIT Rourkela.

Which one is better for computer science and engineering and why: VNIT Nagpur, NIT Calicut, or NIT Rourkela?

Arpit Chowdhury

20 Aug 22

Among these, NIT Calicut is the best option for Computer Science and Engineering. On an overall scale, it is better compared to VNIT Nagpur and NIT Rourkela. NIT Calicut placements are around 100% for CSE. Reputed companies such as Amazon, Infosys, Cisco, and Microsoft recruit CSE students through the campus placements. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 17 LPA.

Is NIT Rourkela good, like NIT Trichy?

Sudeeksha Verma

07 Sept 21

NIT Trichy is among the top 10 in NIRF Ranking while NIT Rourkela is still behind in the list. The infrastructure of both the colleges is decent.

The alumni collaboration is widespread for both institutes. However, NIT Trichy has a well-experienced faculty. In terms of management of various societies, clubs in the campus, extra co-curricular, and cleanliness are all exceptionally approved of by the students. If anything, it is top-notch at NIT Trichy.

NIT Rourkela cannot be compared with NIT Trichy when it comes to placements. The opportunities provided in NITT are tremendous and are far ahead of NIT Rourkela.

It is suggested to not go for NIT Rourkela unless you are opting for a core branch. NIT Trichy should be your priority in any situation.

Which is better, NIT Calicut or NIT Rourkela?

Atul Ghose

26 Aug 21

I have a friend from NIT Calicut and he was able to provide some information regarding their M.Tech in Offshore Structure.

Offshore structures are currently one of the most promising fields in the future along with transportation engineering.
It requires thorough knowledge in subjects such as FEM, Mathematics, and mechanics to be a successful offshore engineer. Additionally, the offshore industry pays more than a normal Structural consultancy as the structures are highly compounded.
A beginner Structural engineer may not get very good pay as they are in large numbers and currently supply is more than demand.

As for NIT Calicut, it boasts of an outstanding Civil Department. However, the placement offered by the institute may not be that good. But you can manage to get jobs through off-campus placements. You can earn a lot in the field as you gain experience.

How is NIT Rourkela?

Yash Sharma

15 Jan 22

One of my friends studied at NIT Rourkela. According to him, the campus was really good and had many features that made it stand out among others.

Here are some facts about it:

They have a huge campus, the second largest in the country. The environment is clean and green, with all the necessary facilities found nearby the campus area.
The food here is comparatively costly than any other college at its level. It will take a bit of time to ease up on the food if you are an outstation student.
The academic pressure is not much. They only strictly monitor attendance.
The students are required to maintain a 75% attendance to be able to sit for the exams.
The faculty is average, they prefer students mug up theories than actually learn the content.
Labs are tough and have regular evaluation.
Here you will get a lot of exposure to extra curricular activities.
Many clubs are present like dance, drama, music, photography, social service, varieties of coding, robotics, aerospace club, vehicle designing club and many more.
These clubs teach you time management and enhance your skills.

The main rourkela city is about 7 kms from the railway station which has constant auto services. Rourkela has many restaurants, pubs and other hangout zones. They also have Vaishnodevi temple which students visit as the trip includes trekking and great viewpoints.

Which one is better: EEE in NIT Trichy or CS in NIT Rourkela?

Aditi Ghosal

07 Jul 22

EEE in NIT Trichy is better than CS in NIT Rourkela. NIT Trichy is among the best NITs in the country and offers excellent academics and placements. Around 100% of students get placed from EEE every year. According to the recent highlights of NIT Trichy placements, students of EEE usually receive salaries in the range of INR 4-20 LPA. Microsoft, Uber, and HLS Asia are some of the major recruiters for the branch.

Which is better: an IT at the IIIT Allahabad, CSE at NIT Rourkela or CSE at MANIT Bhopal?

Ritesh Agarwal

11 Mar 21

One of my friends told me that these three institutes must be in this order like; IIIT A>>> NIT Bhopal>= NIT Rourkela. Although he was a student of NIT Rourkela.

He stated that between these three, Rourkela and Bhopal are more or less equal. However, both of these institutes consist of some advantages and disadvantages as well.

If NIT Bhopal is considered and compared with NIT Rourkela, then it must be said that NIT Bhopal's strength is a large batch size; IT+CSE. But the main advantage of NIT Bhopal is the location and nearby airport transport facilities that conceal all the advantages of this institute. For this reason, NIT Bhopal experiences big recruiters every year, and NIT Rourkela misses this entirely. This is the reason why NIT Bhopal is one step ahead of NIT Rourkela.

Categories	IT at IIIT Allahabad	CSE at NIT Rourkela	CSE at NIT Bhopal
Course Fee	5.41 lakh	6.40 lakh	5.59 lakh
Placement Percentage	100%	80%	90%
Highest CTC	12-15 LPA	20 LPA	27 LPA
Average CTC	4-5 LPA	8-10 LPA	6.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Goldman, Nutanix, etc.	Microsoft, Dell, PwC, Goldman Sachs, SAP Labs, Analog Devices, Myntra, Amazon, etc.	Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, Capgemini, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, TCS, L&T, C-Dot etc.

However, at NIT Rourkela, M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is almost similar to doing M.Tech in IITs. But in the case of Bhopal, the students can sit for placements for all the big companies in the campus recruitment process along with B.Tech companies. It will be better to avoid IIIT Allahabad for doing M.Tech in CSE, as placement opportunities in this institute are not good. This thing is that IIIT Allahabad does not allow M.Tech students to attend for placement in the on-campus recruitment process.

Thus, it can be stated that for the B.Tech course, IIIT Allahabad>> NIT Bhopal> NIT Rourkela.

How is CSE at NIT Rourkela?

Mohit Bansal

15 Jan 22

One of my friends is a CSE student at NIT Rourkela. According to him the department is very decent.

The classes were held regularly, sometimes having 5 tests a day including viva sessions.
The faculty is highly experienced and cooperative.
The campus is really beautiful, and one of the best in the country.
The student crowd is diverse. They are also very competitive, which actually makes the educational environment engaging and better.
Placements here are a bit mediocre overall, but the CSE department has always shown promising results.

Categories	CSE at NIT Rourkela
Course Fee	INR 6.40 lakh
Placement Percentage	80%
Highest CTC	15 LPA
Average CTC	6 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Amazon, Qualcomm, Goldman Sachs, SAP Labs, etc.

Lastly, keep in mind that here you have to study and learn on your own. Most of the teachers approve of mugging up theories rather than actually learning them in depth. So if you prefer to hustle to succeed in life, NIT Rourkela is the perfect place for you.

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

Ribhu Arya

20 Aug 21

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.
