How is NIT Rourkela for an M.Tech?

One of my friends studied at NIT Rourkela. According to him, M.Tech here is taught well enough for students willing to opt for research and further studies. The placements of M.Tech are average and sometimes students even have to opt for pool or off campussing.

• The faculty members are highly qualified and have 20-25 years of educational experience.
• Lab facilities are good and have all the updated machinery.
• CSE department has a comparatively better placements than other departments.
• A 75% attendance is a must.
• In your 2nd year you need to do projects in college only, so you will get free time for the preparation of competitive exams. although you have to show progress in project work at that time to your guide. 
• This allowance is also depending upon the guide and your department.
• If you are inclined towards doing a Ph.D after M.Tech and research is your passion, then NIT Rourkela is the best option. 
• You can publish your research as a journal paper. Publishing a paper will get you a chance of doing Ph.D in prestigious IITs.
• If you are looking for placements then you will be disappointed.

Lastly, here if you are planning to prepare for competitive examinations. You will get the proper time to prepare.
