I recommend this college to others.
Placements: For our course, 90% of students are placed, with packages ranging from 40 LPA to 50 LPA for the highest, lowest, and average salaries. While top recruiting companies and the percentage of students who got internships from our course and the companies they interned at need to be specified, the top roles offered in our course should also be listed.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for your course/department (e.g., Wi-Fi, Labs, Classrooms, Library) is excellent. The quality of the facilities in your hostel, the quality of food available in the mess and canteen, medical facilities, sports and games is good and excellent. .
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and their teaching quality is friendly and good. This course curriculum is relevant and does make the students industry-ready. The semester exams in this college are not very hard and are easy, with a pass percentage of 90% and above.

The infrastructure and climate of the college are amazing. Placements are increasing exponentially.
Placements: Almost 75% of students get placed, with the highest on-campus 46 LPA and the off-campus placement at 80 LPA in Uber. The median package is 8 LPA, and the average package is 10 LPA. The lowest is 3.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies are IBM, Infosys, Oracle, Nvidia, Amazon, Datainsight, and many more. Almost 75% of students get internships at like IBM, Infosys, Amazon, NSA, Google, and in early startup companies. The top roles are SDE Software Development Engineer and Research Intern at Microsoft and IBM.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is excellent. Wi-Fi facility is also very good. The library is good as well. Classroom AC is not available, but fans are available. The hostel accommodation is for 4 students in a single room. The food has improved quite as compared to the past. The medical facilities are good. Sports and games facilities are available and are supported by the college for inter.
Faculty: Almost 90% of teachers are helpful, and 70% are good qualified and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is very good, and near Bangalore gives students opportunities to become industry-ready. It is not much difficult, but if you attend class daily, you will pass the exams easily.
Other: Near Bangalore provides lots of opportunities for CSE, so I chose the CSE branch, and I love coding. You can make money if you have good skills and a learning mindset. The coding culture is not so good in the college. The college provides events, fests, connectivity, and scholarships. They support extracurricular activities, and the climate is so good, that the weather is amazing.

Life on campus of IIIT Dharwad.
Placements: I am still in 1st year, I don't have much information regarding placements. All I heard from seniors and other faculty members is that the placement rate is good compared to other private colleges. Recruiting companies are Nvidia, TCS, Infosys, Oracle, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. College doesn't have any problem with students sitting for placements. It depends on the company's criteria. For example, Nvidia set 7.5 CPI minimum.
Infrastructure: Each room has 4 students, an almirah for each student, fans, and power outlet for basic needs. The mess food is not good at all, only breakfast and evening snacks are somewhat tasty. According to the price of mess, the food is not good. The hostel is located on the campus. Rest the Wi-Fi, classrooms, and library are pretty good in shape.
Faculty: Most of the faculty members are friendly with students but there are always some exceptions. Sometimes, it feels like the professor is speaking Chinese and when we question them they will be offended. On the other hand, some professors will explain every topic twice and they don't go ahead until everyone says yes. For exams, some professors may take 50 marks some might take 80 and maybe 100. Course curriculum is relevant to our branch and one or two might not pass the exams.
Other: There is a big cultural fest that is held in February known as Sangeet. Students from other colleges also come for this fest. There are so many cultural clubs for music, dance, photography, art, etc. Giving so many opportunities to explore for students. We have technical clubs too. There is an event known as Rush 4.0, the biggest technical gaming fest of our college with games like BGMI, Free Fire, Valorant, and CS2.

Promising placement but infrastructure needs to be improved.
Placements: Placement is good but this year it hasn't been that good. Off-campus, the highest salary package offered is 84 LPA. Most companies prefer CS students and electrical students also get good salary packages. In recent years placements have been quite average, but this year it is very low. According to the senior's information as placement cell didn't do up to work.
Infrastructure: Hostel is good but I think the 4-sharing rooms are a little conjugated. All buildings are new so they are well-maintained. Full campus is clean and clear but sports complex can be improved as there is only one complex in which all sports are played in SMA.
Faculty: Faculty members are good. Course curriculum is very good as other college follows C-cycle or P-cycle but here they directly focus on core CS. It helps students to be focused on placements and coding culture is also good. Exams are also less only end-sem and mid-sem.
Other: Fest Habba is good, and the HR Conclave held in 2024 was also good.

Amazing college with supportive and dedicated faculty members and stunning placement opportunities.
Placements: Last year, around 68% of students from our college got placed. Talking about the highest salary of this placement season, a student from the CSE branch got an offer from Uber with a salary package of 84 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our course are IBM, Oracle, Amazon, etc. In this year's placement season, students got internships at Oracle, IBM, Amazon, Sony Research, Microsoft Research, Govivace Inc., etc.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available with good speed all over the campus. Classrooms are very comfortable. It creates a will to study while sitting in it. The library has most of the important books for the course. There is a knowledge resource center for focused study. Hygiene in the hostel and mess is very nice. Indoor sports block and outdoor ground are also there.
Faculty: Faculty members of the course are very supportive and dedicated. The curriculum is very relevant, which is useful for making students industry-ready. The odd semester is from August to November. The even semester is from January to April. Mid-semester exams and end-semester exams are conducted. The weightage for marks for courses differs in quizzes, assignments, mid-semesters, and end-semesters. There is a credit system for a degree. If you get 140 credits in your 4 academic years, you will get the degree. There are 5 courses per semester. 1,2,3,4 credit courses are there depending on importance and time.
Other: I chose this course because, from childhood, I always wanted to study computer science and technology.

Awesome infrastructure and faculty members with minimal on-ground placement.
Placements: Around 30% of students got placed on campus and rest got off-campus placed. Course is modified with the industry-level requirements. Previous batch secured 82 LPA the highest salary package. The average salary package is also good. Companies visitng the campus are high.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is very good, it has good connectivity and speed which helps in easy surfing. Mess food is also good but they serve similar kinds of curry every day with every food, so it's okay. Hostel rooms are compact, in coming years, we are not offered a single room we have to share it with 4 people.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and it is modified with the industrial level requirements. Faculty members are helpful. They focus more on practical knowledge than the theory.
Other: As the CSE is in high demand and the placement is also very good. I decided to choose CSE as it has more future proof and others are also opting for CSE.
