Entrance Exams & Admissions : People need to take JEE Main exam to enter into NIT's. It is the second toughest exam in my country. The cut-off for NIT colleges is 95 percentile and above.
Placements & Internships : The highest salary package is 126 lakhs per annum. I cannot write more about it because I'm only in my first year.
Fees & Scholarships : The National Institute of Technology, [NIT] Rourkela fee structure. The course fee along with hostel fee is 2 lakhs per annum. People who get GPA above 8.5 are worth to take the scholarship which gives total refund for tuition but not hostel fee.
Academics & Faculty : The method of teaching is good. College is ok. I don't like a thing about college because girls are not allowed to roam after 11 p.m. but boys can roam. This is so sexist and this looks like gender discrimination. I don't know much about it because classes are not yet started.

Some profs use conventional board and chalk method and some uses projector to teach. Although all profs cant be effective in teaching, you can find some best profs and some bitter ones too and it depends on your luck. Some might be very strict and cruel while some might be very friendly. We cant judge each and every prof completely.
