About Us

Established in 1961 as the Regional Engineering College, NIT Rourkela is one among the most respected technical institutes in the country. The activities include undergraduate and postgraduate education, research, consultancy, continuing education and service to the community. In its effort towards achieving the above objectives, the institute must interact with other institutions, industry and citizens. Unlike western countries, Indian cities do not possess a hospitality infrastructure that can support large scale travel. In addition, Government regulations restrict per diem at a level where it is often difficult to find a reasonable accommodation in a commercial hotel. It is common practice in Indian institutes to create on-campus guest houses to host official guests.

NIT Rourkela has created a guest house to meet its needs. The guest house is in two disjoint blocks, the NORTH BLOCK with 20 rooms and the SOUTH BLOCK with 30, both centrally air conditioned. The rooms have twin beds and other amenities. In addition, both blocks have separate kitchens and dining halls. The South Block also provides a 64-seat lecture hall, a meeting room and a lounge.

Our Services

Guest house is not a hotel. It is a facility of the institute and its tariff is highly subsidized. Still, an attempt has been made to provide all essential services to the guests. While all steps are taken to ensure hygiene and comfort, frills such as persons to carry luggage, room service of meals, meals outside designated hours etc have been dispensed with. We have also tried to recover a reasonable fraction of the expenses from the tariff collected.

Rooms and other facilities can be booked by any member of the Institute faculty or staff for any person visiting the institute in official capacity or for their own friends and relatives. Research students who have taken withdrawal as well as QIP students may book rooms for themselves while visiting the Institutes. Students may book rooms for their parents or guardians visiting the Institute, but need concurrence of their faculty or thesis advisor. The office of Dean (AR) shall book rooms for alumni visiting the Institute from other cities or for relatives of alumni living in Rourkela. In addition, persons visiting the institute frequently may register as “Miscellaneous User” and, if permitted by PIC-Guest House, may book rooms in their own capacity.
