Well done NIT, RKL, Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff. I am surprised to see the two BIT’s in the list. I see these institutes are below standard. I was a student of one of them , I find the faculty the worst I’ve ever come across. The students are kinda OK, but they are not hard working. They belive in shortcuts. Plus side is , Campus recruitment is a good hit there. Whoever had done these rankings, surely, has not done enough research.

There is no need to be super excited about this ranking. NIT Warangal, Trichy, Calicut, and Allahabad who were ranked above Rourkela are not even in the list. NIT Rourkela is among the best 25 technical institutes of India. I hope it truly becomes top 12 some day soon.

Dear Purna Mishra,
I agree with you, NIT Rourkela wouldn’t stand at 12th rank in case NIT Warangal, Trichy, Calicut, and Allahabad are included in the list.
Anyway we can verify this once the ranking by Outlook, India Today etc. is out
