How is NIT Rourkela?

One of my friends studied at NIT Rourkela. According to him, the campus was really good and had many features that made it stand out among others. 

Here are some facts about it:

• They have a huge campus, the second largest in the country. The environment is clean and green, with all the necessary facilities found nearby the campus area.

• The academic pressure is not much. They only strictly monitor attendance. 
• The students are required to maintain a 75% attendance to be able to sit for the exams.
• The faculty is average, they prefer students mug up theories than actually learn the content.
• Labs are tough and have regular evaluation.
• Here you will get a lot of exposure to extra curricular activities. 
• Many clubs are present like dance, drama, music, photography, social service, varieties of coding, robotics, aerospace club, vehicle designing club and many more.
