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.
