NIT Rourkela is a other institute, founded in 1961. This page brings together what is on record for this course at NIT Rourkela — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means circuits, signals and systems, analogue and digital communication, microprocessors and VLSI design. Typical first jobs: electronics engineer, embedded engineer, telecom or semiconductor roles. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask NIT Rourkela for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at NIT Rourkela as a group.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with NIT Rourkela before you pay anything.

To get into Discontinued (Sep-2022)- B.Tech. in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering, you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects. The minimum marks on record at NIT Rourkela are: X: 0.0, XII: 75.0, Graduation: 0.0.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check NIT Rourkela's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

In most years, admission follows these steps:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to NIT Rourkela on its website (www.nitrkl.ac.in) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
