About Us
Institute Counselling Services, NIT Rourkela is a Technical Service Unit (TSU) of NIT Rourkela. Established in August 2017, the team comprises of faculty members, including Head of Unit, Prof. Ramakrishna Biswal, Student Coordinators, Prefects and Mentors. ICS aims to prepare the students for a confident approach towards life and to bring about a voluntary change in themselves. The goal of counselling is to help individuals overcome their immediate problems and also to equip them to meet future problems. The goals of counselling are appropriately concerned with fundamental and basic aspects such as self-understanding and self-actualization.
The primary objective of ICS is to encourage a confident outlook towards life and establish a balance between one’s academic and personal life. This service deals with various important aspects of a student’s life such as Academic, Financial, Mental and Socio-cultural issues, ensuring a seamless transition from home to hostel life for the freshmen and directs its efforts to safeguard the mental health of all students and faculty of the institute. With the help of counselling, individuals can overcome their immediate problems and enhance their capability to tackle obstacles in future.

Backlog is described as a scenario when a student fails a particular subject due to poor performance. The student must then repeat the subject either in the following summer (with no grade back) or take up the course next year with his/her juniors or by taking a supplementary exam (with a grade back, i.e., the max grade would be an A). Debar is described as a scenario when a student is removed from the course due to attendance or any other personal issue. He/she then has to repeat the course in another semester and need not attend classes in that semester. Deregister is described as a scenario where he/she removes his/her registration from that course and pursues it in a later semester. The SGPA/CGPA won’t be affected in any way because the student would complete the course before graduating. Grade back is defined as a scenario when the student gets his/her grade subtracted by one level before even appearing for it. Possible reasons include attendance issues. Students can take a maximum of 2n leaves for an n credit course (Max 8 absences for 4 credit courses, 6 absences for 3 credit courses, and 4 absences for 2 credit courses).
