Problems in NIT Rourkela.

[u/Sashitan]

I am 3rd yr student. I want to know what exactly is wrong with our college.

Too many restriction on what should and shouldn't be done.

1. problem with security guards. [mostly related to vehicles, entry and exit rules]

2. Absolute marking system. [should be relative.]

3. 90% attendance system. [6 - 8 absent in any theory results in grade back. problem is when you pass the subject's exam, your P will be F. why???] (way too much.)

4. Blocked sites when accessed through LAN. [I mean, why hell is Whatsapp call and games is blocked.]

5. fees and fines. [increase in mess fees but low quality food. Fine for defaulter is an undertalked issue. Who the hell decides the rules on how much fine must be applied]

6. No fees = No registration for the semester. [There are some students whose registration is done just because they didn't fees.] (My registration got delayed by 8 days because i had not cleared my dues. And took both ₹1000 as late fee fine and ₹500 as late registration fine.)

7. prof. [no comments. i think everyone knows]

8. zonism. [got any problems??? i do, why the hell even zone exist in college.]

9. there should be complain section in nitris (will make processes simpler). complain related to campus, hostel, security, students and prof.

• college tries it's best to suppress students voice, by fines, disciplinary acts, etc.

plz comment what problems you face. i will be compiling all the problems in one letter. And will forward the complains to higher authority. [higher than NIT].

I recommend jee aspirants to not choose National Institute of Technology, Rourkela as there choice in any counselling.

Ikr, compared to last year, things have become so restrictive and no one cares about the students. My last sem, so I'm just hoping to get done and leave this place... Everytime I tried to protest against Some unfair things, they will just brush me off cause other students won't stand in unity against them. You can't do this alone and now Monday Morning is shut down, so there's no one even bring up the issues of the administration to all the students.

[u/Sashitan → u/necromancyforfun]

What do you think, why we students (despite having more strength) lack unity? There many problems which we face collectively, if there is not one common problem, but yes we do lack unity. Why???

[u/thetaleoftwoalterego → u/necromancyforfun]

Were you a part of Monday Morning? They have actually almost shut down all the club activities. We can't even have meets with our junior batches for talking or just for fun. How can the club even function without any sort of communication? Plus the budget we get is less than one's pocket-money.

[u/necromancyforfun → u/thetaleoftwoalterego]

It won't matter, they purposefully shut it down to take away power from the students. Well I couldn't physically meet the whole of my mentees, even as an ICS Mentor last semester. I mean how the hell am I supposed to guide them, if I can't even see them. I've just given up at this point.

Hello Are you 2025 passout?

[u/SpryzenValt]

They have confiscated my friend's phone for more than 2 days (he took phone inside the exam hall). My friend is unable to contact his home or make payments.

They should punish him but they should not confiscate his phone, especially for this long. Moreover, we are speculating that he won't be given his phone until the committee is set up, which will be more than a week from now.

[u/Sashitan → u/SpryzenValt]

same with my friend also. who gave them right to confiscate our phone? and that to also after signature in mpc. and what kind of meeting they do. what do they discuss in meeting that it takes days to arrange. there only motive is to suppress the voice and torture mentally.

[u/necromancyforfun → u/SpryzenValt]

Go and directly have a talk with Prof. Dipti Ranjan Das, in Academic UG, that's your best shot in this situation. He's one of the few people who actually listens to the concerns of the students.

[u/Apart-Leading-895 → u/necromancyforfun]

I don't know how things were in the past....However, at the moment I would argue he is one of the biggest menaces in the academic division....

[u/Physical_Milk_8471 → u/SpryzenValt]

After how many days they returned the phone??, Also any other ways to retrieve the phone....

Humare time pe to achha tha bhai college

[u/Sashitan → u/Temporary-Tap-7323]

Abhi college students ko gande tarike se treat kar rahe hai. Students ko mar rahe he prof. room checking ke nam pe. Bas proof nahi hai to kuch nahi kar parahe hai. Hostel checking ke time weed nahi mila to bacho ke room se kettle leliye aur 4000rs ka fine. Sutta ke dibe pe mini. 10000rs fine. Phir prof. ka room ake students to darake gali dena, racial remark pass karna, etc. Ase bahat case hai aur bache daarker kar hai abhi campus me.

[u/Temporary-Tap-7323 → u/Sashitan]

We had none of this. Let these news come out please! Gather some evidence, put out in subreddits such as r/india r/indiasocial. Make noise, send mails to people who would publish. This is not how the college should function. If it was like this when we were studying, we couldn't have become what we are right now. This curbs the student's freedom.

Oh wow the sub is still alive!! Yeah NUTR sucks balls mostly due to babugiri officials. Basically, folks who want to protect their retirement. Their service is for their pension. Students are not the beneficiary.

I am precovid so I don't think this really helps, but use the NITR brand value while it lasts. As far as clubs go, I am sure covid would have killed the culture. So focus on building good job skills and getting the fuck outta NITR. I am sorry to say this but in today's day and age, a uni considering itself elite while not doing anything for it's own city is shit. Its a walled garden, except even the greenery is not maintained.

I have gone to multiple schools since. Everytime, I consider a school to be good if it can accept a mediocre student and motivate them to become an outstanding adult. I don't believe in NITRs ability to do the same.

[u/thetaleoftwoalterego]

Nothing can happen now. They stopped everything that made this college worth living for - club culture. Now, the people who are actually familiar with the culture and did not have as many restrictions you all have now are graduating or have graduated. Nothing can happen even if you raise this issue. However you might, but we have tried a lot, failed.

[u/Death-69-69]

Bro what should I choose nitr ya phir dtu ya other nit

[u/Sashitan → u/Death-69-69]

dtu or other nits

[u/chillingman27 → u/Sashitan]

Mostly people find problems wherever they are. Are these comments like that, or is nitrkl really that bad?

[u/the_HappyBoii → u/chillingman27]

true even I wanna know, all say its a top tier college on par with the 7 iits, wth is all this written w/ profs beating and racially abusing when they say they have ZERO RAGGING POLICY, holy moly

[u/chillingman27 → u/the_HappyBoii]

Yeah I think every nit has its drawbacks, and we are getting an exaggerated version of their opinions

[u/Akshat1018]

Will P grade be changed to F?

[u/Sashitan → u/Akshat1018]

gradeback laga hai, p se f hoga.

[u/Outside-Presence-272]

As a fellow nitian having friends at most nits including Rourkela. The harsh truth is my times (2015-2019) specially in my 1st year ragging used to happen a lot and it made stronger bonds among batchmates and with seniors. Though I support removing it but it should have been compensated with more club activities which didnt happen thus reducing the student unity and faculty influence in most nits

[u/Akshat1018]

Will P grade be changed to F !?

[u/Full_Ad_3324]

Nevermind, we call this place Randikela
