Question

Well, based on what students are saying online, you might want to think twice about choosing chemical engineering at NIT Rourkela.

Here's a quick rundown:

The faculty isn't that great; most are new and don't have much experience.
They focus more on textbook stuff than hands-on learning.
Teachers seem to prefer students who memorize instead of really understanding the concepts.
Sometimes, there are so many assignments that it's hard to keep up.
There's often a gap in communication between students and teachers.

Also, the placements aren't too hot. Most students end up in IT, very few get into core chemical industries, and some don't get placed at all.

So, all things considered, it might be a good idea to explore other options.
