How are the placements of the mechanical branch at NIT Rourkela?

The placement scenario of the Mechanical branch of NIT Rourkela is great. Many core companies like Tata Steel, Vedanta, Tata Motors, Maruti - Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra visit the campus to recruit talented students as Graduate engineer Trainees. 

A few PSUs also visit NIT Rourkela to recruit students from one of the best NITs in the country. For instance, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) visited the institute and recruited 4 Mechanical Engineering students. The core companies offer average packages of around INR 8 LPA.

Most students have to go for Analytics, Consultancy, and IT sectors due to limited opportunities in the Mechanical branch. Companies like TCS, Mu Sigma, Infosys, etc recruit such students.

Overall, the placement scenario of ME at NIT Rourkela might not be excellent but it is quite satisfactory.
