Depends.
Just because it’s an IIT, people assume it to be better.
But NIT Rourkela has better infrastructure, better all-round development, more exposure, definitely a better curriculum and now that’s its one of three NITs, there’s more to expect. With a very ambitious plan of setting up a placement cell in Bhubhaneshwar, I’m guessing they’re gonna beat IITs when it comes to placements in no time.
