On behalf of National Institute of Technology, Rourkela it is my

pleasure to welcome you to this beautiful campus. This institute has
been known for its hospitality for more than four decades, and we
strive hard to keep up the tradition. In case we have inadvertently
slipped somewhere, I offer my sincere apologies. Our academic
programme is amongst the best in the country. It provides an
optimum mix of theory and practical, with strong bias on industrial &
managerial applications. In more recent years, introduction of
modern computational tools and digital equipment have further
improved the programme. While the depth of training in
management subjects are unquestioned, the span of our curriculum
is often overlooked.
The NITR student learns subjects across departmental boundaries
and excels in extracurricular activities. The mix of technology and
management skills that a NITRian possesses makes him an
invaluable asset to any organization he works for. With seventeen
departments awarding degrees in engineering, science and
management, we are one of the most diversified institutions.
Whether you are young or old as a company, whether your business
is in coal mining or in data mining, whether the job you are offering is
in the shop floor or in R&D, we have the right engineer and manager
for you. We give you freedom and extend to you all physical facilities
to carry out your own recruitment process on our campus. In case you
have a time constraints or other inconvenience, we shall only be too
glad to meet your selection team in another city. Whether you have
regularly recruited our graduates and post graduates, or you are
visiting us for the first time, I am sure you will find our students very
competent and you will visit us again, year after year. We look
forward to a warm and enduring relationship.
