On Question asked by student community
Good Morning,
NIT Rourkela CAT cutoff range is between 70-85 percentiles for the general category. 70 is the minimum percentile needed to apply, and 85 is the highest percentile. However, the maximum percentile depends on the particular year competition. It can be changed.
Thank You.
Hello,
Sorry, but it's unlikely you will get into NIT Rourkela Computer Science with a 99 percentile and OBC-NCL status under the Home State quota, as the closing rank of this category is very competitive and often falls within the top 8,000 ranks.
I hope it will clear your query!!
HELLO,
If you are considering M.tech in Industrial refrigeration and Cryogenic Engineering at NIT Rourkela then let me tell you that it will be a great choice if you are inclined towards thermal engineering, refrigeration systems or research in cryogenics
Here are some details points so you can understood better :-
1.This program is offered under the Mechanical Engineering and it is quite specialized and the curriculum is well structured and includes advance subjects . The labs are well equipped and there is good exposure to work practically which will be a positive point.
2.For admissions you need to attend GATE + CCMT counselling and the seat intake is limited to 15, so it is quite competitive
3.If i tell you about placements so that is also good because students from this specialization have received good offers with some average package around Rs 9.5 LPA
4.Cryogenic engineering finds applications in various industries , including agriculture , marine, welding and food processing
5.NIT Rourkela is well ranked in india particularly in the engineering field

Dear student,
If you're passionate about design and have a decent JEE Main rank, the choice between
ISDI Mumbai (Product Design)
and
NIT Rourkela (B.Tech in Industrial Design)
comes down to your goals.
ISDI Mumbai is a pure design institute focused on creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning. The program emphasizes real-world projects, portfolio building, and exposure to Mumbai’s design industry. It’s best for those who want a career in creative design , user experience, or product innovation. Admission is based on the ISDI Challenge , not JEE.
NIT Rourkela
, on the other hand, offers a design-oriented B.Tech that blends engineering and product design. It’s a good fit if you're looking for a
technical degree with a design element
. The course includes CAD, UX, manufacturing, and product development. Admission is through
JEE Main and JoSAA
, with strong placements and a top-tier campus.
Your decision should align with whether you see yourself as a
designer first
or an
engineer with design skills
.
Take your time
There are several factors to consider when comparing NIT Rourkela CSE and IIT Hyderabad Biomedical Engineering:
Placements

IIT vs NIT Tag
IITs have a prestigious reputation, known for academic excellence and strong alumni networks. IIT graduates often secure higher placements and easier access to higher education opportunities abroad.
NITs are also excellent institutions, offering strong programs and opportunities, although they might not carry the same brand recognition as the older IITs.
Ultimately, the "best" option is subjective and depends on individual priorities and goals. It is recommended that your friend research both programs thoroughly, consider their interests, and perhaps consult with professors or professionals in both fields to make an informed decision.
