1. INTRODUCTION
National Institute of Technology, Rourkela was established on 15th August, 1961 as Regional Engineering
College jointly supported by Government of India and Government of Odisha. The college started with only
three under-graduate programmes in the disciplines of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Civil
Engineering and was affiliated to Utkal University in the beginning and later to Sambalpur University in 1967. The
college had its natural growth over time and kept on adding programmes like Metallurgical & Materials Engineering
(1963), Chemical Engineering (1963), Mining Engineering (1979), Computer Science & Engineering (1986), Applied
Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering (1987), Ceramic Engineering (1994), Physics (1961), Chemistry (1962),
and Mathematics (1965). The post graduate programmes and the research programmes in select branches were
initiated. As it grew the college was made academically autonomous in 1992 but remained affiliated to Sambalpur
University.
However the turn-around came on 26th June, 2002 when the college was declared as National Institute of
Technology and was completely taken to the fold of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government India
as a centrally funded institution and was made a Deemed University. The administrative structure, the source of
finance and the status of the institute got reformed. The objective was redefined. National Institute of Technology,
Rourkela prepared itself for a giant leap in every front. The culture and the ethos of the institute took contemporary
turn to promote healthy and productive attitudes towards learning, life and work and to develop ambitions of
achievements; striving for the maximum for every stakeholder.
The NIT Act by Government of India came into force on 15th August, 2007 and the institute was declared
as an Institute of National Importance. Working in the line of the Act, the institute went through a complete
metamorphosis. The prime mover had been set to go through major transformation. The NIT era has so far been a
great journey. New programmes like Communication Engineering (2005), Biotechnology and Medical Engineering
(2007), Life Science (2009), Industrial Design (2010), MBA (2010), Development Studies (2010), Planning and
Architecture (2013), Food Process Engineering (2013), Earth and Atmospheric Science (2013) and 27 different
specializations in the post graduate programme of various disciplines have been added considering the market
demand. In the coming academic session post graduate programmes in Polymers, Plastics and Wood Engineering
under Mechanical Engineering and Business Intelligence and Analytics under Computer Science and Engineering
Department will be started. Today NIT Rourkela stands to be the institute with the widest range of programmes
among all NITs. New and innovative additions to the galaxy of curricula along-with increase in the intake capacity
to every programme are attracting bright students from across the country. All academic programmes have been
modified and expanded considering the present scenario of technological and scientific developments. The
research programmes have been given grander emphasis. Sponsored research programmes are given a thrust and
the highly motivated faculties are continuously trying to multiply it by manifold. The research programmes in
all the Departments have seen phenomenal growth. The infrastructure, such as academic buildings, laboratory
facilities, students’ hostels, faculty and staff residence, common facilities and conveniences have been created and
are continuously scaled up to cater to the present as well as future needs.
19
National Institute of Technology Rourkela continues to be ranked as one of the top institutes of the
country. The institute, now, is placed only amongst a few counted one. It attracts the best students from the
country for its Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral programmes, and in the 54 years of its existence, more than 18000
students have graduated from NIT Rourkela. The alumni of the institute have distinguished themselves through
their achievements and contributions in diverse fields, and the engagement with the alumni continues to grow.
Research is an increasing focus of activity of the institute coupled with strong efforts to see that the fruits of the
research are translated into commerce through licensing or through startups. The institute continues to attract
outstanding faculty members, and this is at the core of the growth of the institute. Presently, we have 275 faculty
members – the largest by far among all the NITs – with many of them internationally reputed for their research
contributions. It may be worth mentioning that NIT Rourkela is the first NIT to adopt IIT-like 4-Tier flexible faculty
structure and has been attracting bright and reputed faculty into its fold. The Institute continues to build links with
international and national peer universities to enhance research and educational programmes.

3. EDUCATION SYSTEM
B. Tech. / M. Tech. Dual Degree / Integrated M. Sc. Degree
i) Admission Procedure
Admission to all Undergraduate courses and 5-year Dual Degree / Integrated Degree Programmes is
made in the Autumn Semester at the first year level through the national JEE (main) examination and allocation of
seats is made through the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB). Besides, a specified number of foreign nationals /
NRI selected under the policy laid down by Government of India are admitted directly to the 1st year of any of the
courses.
ii) Programme Structure

The duration of the programme leading to B. Tech. degree is four years and Dual Degree B. Tech. & M. Tech.
and Integrated M. Sc. is five years. The curricula for the different degree programmes are proposed by the respective
departments and recommended by the Undergraduate Programme Evaluation Committee (UGPEC) before being
approved by the Senate. The departments also prepare the syllabus of each programme and constituent courses
containing the scope of studies, detailed instructions to be imparted, course outcome and course objectives. The
curricula and syllabi are approved by Senate.
All subjects have a Lecture-Tutorial-Practical (L-T-P) component to indicate the contact hours. The
Tutorial (T) or Practical (P) component may be absent in certain courses. Separate pure laboratory subjects (O-O-P)
may exist in certain cases as decided by the Senate. All subjects have a credit count ‘C’. Teachings of subjects are
reckoned in terms of credits.
In each of the first two semesters, two credits are assigned for Extra Academic Activity (EAA) consisting
of 3 hours activity per week. The EAA is chosen from N.S.S., N. C. C., or any other physical education approved
by Senate. The curricula of B. Tech. programmes also includes compulsory Short-term Industrial or Research
Experience (SIRE) of 8 weeks duration after 6th semester in any reputed industry, research organization or a
reputed institute which is evaluated in the 7th semester. Research project carries a total of 10 credit distribution
between 7th & 8th semester. The summary of credits assigned to research projects and seminar and technical
writing is presented in Table-4.
Course Structure of M. Tech. Dual Degree from 1st to 6th semester is similar to B. Tech. courses of the
department. The 7th & 8th semester typically contains five theory courses and three laboratory courses. SIRE is
evaluated at the end of 7th semester. The research project starts on completion of 8th semester (during Summer
Vacation which is evaluated at the end of 9th semester) and continues till end of 10th semester. The curricula of 9th
& 10th semester constitute two theory courses, research project and seminar and technical writing. Total project
credit is 40. The summary of credits assigned to research projects, seminar and technical writing is presented in
Table-4.
27
iii) Registration
Students are registered in 2nd year (3rd semester) at the end of 1st year on completion of following:
(a) Completion at least 40 credits of courses out of the prescribed course for the first two semesters and
secured ‘P’ or higher grade.
(b) Obtain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of not lower than 5.70.
(c) If the CGPA at the end of the first year is between 5.00 and 5.69 (both inclusive), the student is
permitted to suspend studies and resume it in the following year along with the next batch of
students. The B. Tech. programme must then be completed within 6 years of the original admission.
However, if the CGPA is less than 6.00 in the repeat year, the student needs to leave the Institute to
pursue other academic avenues.
(d) While registering for 3rd, 5th or 7th semester, a student may register for backlog courses of 1st, 3rd
or 5th semester and while registering for 4th, 6th or 8th semester, may register for backlog courses
of 2nd, 4th or 6th semester. A student has to appear for both Mid-Semester and End-Semester
examinations and the grades are awarded based on the marks of the examinations. The Teacher’s
assessment component is carried forward from the original evaluation. The registration for backlog
papers is done at the time of semester registration. Backlog courses are awarded one grade lower
than the secured grade. (‘P’ grade remains as ‘P’ as exception).
(e) A student may opt to repeat a course in which case he/she need to attend classes, and there is
no reduction of grade awarded. In such case they are not eligible for awards / medals and prizes
which are based on academic performance. If regulations and examination schedule otherwise
permit, a student may register for spring semester elective in autumn semester and vice-versa. A
student may change an elective course if the pre-requisites are satisfied. If a student has completed
8 semesters of study but has ‘F’ grades in few course, he must register for them as full time courses
and attend classes in term of 9th semester if time table permits. The time limit for completion of B.
Tech. programme is 6 years.
(f ) It is necessary for students to maintain a minimum CGPA of 6.00 at all times. If the CGPA falls
below 6.00, he / she should enter into slow place programme in own interest. When a student of 1st
semester gets a CGPA score below 6.00 or a student of any other semester scores CGPA below 6.00
for two consecutive semesters, parents are required to visit the Institute and are apprised of the
position. Students of 3rd or higher semesters are permitted to register in the next semester only in
slow pace, in such a manner that he has a possibility of improving his CGPA above 6.00. Parents and
students give an undertaking that they are aware of the possibility of leaving the Institute. If at the
end of 3rd consecutive semester, CGPA remains below 6.00; the student will enroll only in backlog
courses with ‘P’ grade with no new course. If a student gets CGPA below 6.00 in the 4th consecutive
semester, he / she must leave the Institute to pursue other avenues of study.
In truly exceptional circumstances, if the arithmetic of the grade card dictate that the required
improvement can only be achieved in at least 2 semesters, the Senate, at its discretion may sanction
2 semesters instead of one to improve CGPA with a maximum of 4 new courses spanning over two
semesters.

Postgraduate Courses (M. Tech. / M. Sc. / MA / MBA – 2 Years duration)
The M. Tech. regulation provides the necessary guidelines for the Postgraduate programme in Engineering
of two years duration. Persons working in various organizations can join the same course in a slow pace spanning
over 3 years duration. In such case the course work is of 2 years (4 semesters) duration and the third year is devoted
for Research Project.
Similarly the MA / M. Sc. / MBA regulation provides guideline for these courses. The duration of MA /
M. Sc. / MBA course is two years (broken up to four semesters) and 3 years for those admitted under slow pace
category.
The institute offered 28 regular M. Tech., 4 M. Sc. (2 years), 3 MBA, and on MA in development studies
programmes.
iv) Admission Procedure

with 60% marks or 6.50 CGPA. Applicants who have qualified at national or international tests for admission to
Business Schools and secured high scores get preference. Final selection is made on the basis of Group Discussion
and Personal Interview conducted at the Institute, along with academic career and score of national or international
tests for admission to Business Schools.
v) Programme Structure
Teaching for the courses is reckoned in credits, as specified against each subject. Due credit is given to
lecture, tutorial (theory) and practical components for a given subject. The first two semesters have theory and
practical (laboratory) subjects and a compulsory Seminar and Technical Writing of 2 credits in each semester.
The total course credits in the 1st and 2nd semester together range between 46 to 48 credits. The summer vacation
constitute a part of the 3rd semester. The summer work (either industrial training or industrial project or any
assigned work in the institute) carries 4 credits and this is evaluated in 3rd semester. The 3rd and 4th semester mostly
constitute the project work. The comprehensive viva-voce is carried out based on all subjects taught in first two
semesters. The complete course structures for M. Tech. prorgrammes of all departments are thoroughly reviewed
in the PGPEC and recommendations are placed in the Senate for approval.
Project Work and Seminar and Technical Writing constitute an important aspect of the curricula. Details
of credit and Seminar and Technical Writing are presented at Table-4.
Class Tests, assignments, tutorials, viva-voce, laboratory assignments, etc., are the constituent
components of continuous assessment process and a student must fulfil all these requirements as prescribed by
the teacher / coordination committee of the subject. If due to any compelling reason (such as participation in
national / international events with due approval of the institute illness, calamity in the family, etc.) a student fails
to meet any of the requirements within / on the scheduled date and time, the teacher / coordination committee
may take such steps (including conduction of compensatory tests / examinations) as are deemed fit to ensure a
fair assessment.
vi) Registration
Students in Postgraduate programmes register for the course at the beginning of each semester. The
courses do not have summer / supplementary examination. Students securing ‘F’ grade in any course appear
the examination in the following session. Attendance in all classes is compulsory and regulation is similar to
Undergraduate course.
The summary of the results of the graduating students in Postgraduate studies is presented from Table-5
to Table-8.

professional activities for the students. Some of the major activities relating to the students are Practical Training,
Local Study Tours to industries and Campus Placement. Like previous years the Centre had a series of such activities
during the academic year 2015-16.
Practical Training
Practical Training is an integral part of engineering education that aims at making students familiar with
the culture and environment of industries and getting practical knowledge on working of equipments, plants and
processes which cannot be accommodated or explained in a laboratory. Students are exposed to the concept of
plant management and organization at first hand. Practical Training for 771 B. Tech. and M. Tech. (Dual Degree)
students were arranged in 246 different organizations / industries throughout the country during May-July 2016
who had completed pre-final year studies. Eight weeks of Practical Training at the end of 3rd Year are completed by
each student before appearing at the final examination.
List of industries where students were deputed for SIRE is presented at Annexure-1 SIRE or Practical
Training undertaken by students in industries during May-July, 2016.
Local Study Tours

Local Study Tours were arranged for B. Tech. and M. Tech. (Dual Degree) students in their 3rd year and final
year by the Training & Placement Centre. The students visited different industries / organizations in and around
Rourkela pertinent to their respective curricula during the period September, 2015 – March, 2016, as detailed in
Annexure-2.

With a target to scale up research in practical direction, the Institute has signed MOU with large number of
industry in India. A comprehensive list of these include –
• Ispat General Hospital, Rourkela, Odisha
• Dalmia Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (DISIR), Rajgangpur, Odisha
• Welpsum Corporation Limited, Gujrat
• Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India, Mumbai
• Altera Semiconductor India Private Limited
• Regional Research Laboratory, Bhubaneswar, India
• Divine Life Society, Uttarakhand, India
HALLS OF RESIDENCE
The institute is essentially residential and provides hostel accommodation to all boarders. Separate hall
accommodation is available for lady students. It is mandatory for all the boarders to stay in Halls. However, a
student may be permitted to live with his/her parents or local guardian at Rourkelaafter obtaining permission
from competent authority during the beginning of each semester. A Hall of Residence in NIT Rourkela is in true
sense home away from home. The rules followed in the Halls of Residence are basically whatever the boarders have
learnt in their Schools, Colleges and home. However, there is a manual of Hall of Residence which serves as guiding
principle. There are also two display boards near the entrance of each Hall of Residence. The content of one board
describes the 10 points protocol to succeed in NIT Rourkela. The other board containsthe list of essential mobile
phone numbers for contact at any point of time. For the convenience of the boarders, each Hall has its own night
canteen, fruit juice center and xerox cum stationary shop. In the Hall of Residence area, facilities like ATM, two
students’ restaurants, stationary shop, one saloon and one cycle repairing shop are provided. All multicultural
festivals like Holi, Onam, Diwali and other functions are celebrated by the boarders with co-operation of each
other. The evil practiceof ragging has been rooted out in the hostel area completely. Room allotment in the Halls is
done in such way that students from different regions of the country freely intermingle with each other depicting
national integration. In true sense, hostel area is a real picture of India where all boarders from different parts of
country stay together.
The institute has seven boys, two girls and one family hostel. The statistics of rooms & boarders of each hostel are
as follows.
