Good college at 95–96 Percentile.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful by nature, well-qualified, and able to solve students' doubts. The course curriculum makes students industry-ready. The college semester exams are neither very easy nor very difficult. They are of a moderate level. Anyone who studies before the exams can easily pass.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Faculty: They are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is just good. Industry-level syllabus is covered. Pass percentage is 7.5 percent from a placement point of view. Even semesters are easier than odd semesters. The exam schedule is a very hectic and high-pressure time for students.

Good infrastructure, freedom inside the campus, average placements, a good crowd, decent mess.

Faculty: Most faculty members are helping, and few are a bit of a hassle. The course curriculum is pretty relevant to the industry requirements as there are no old-age physics and chemistry subjects in the first year. Semester exams are easy to ace if you go through your faculty's PDFs.

The infrastructure and climate of the college are amazing. Placements are increasing exponentially.

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.

Life on campus of IIIT Dharwad.

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.

Promising placement but infrastructure needs to be improved.

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.

Amazing college with supportive and dedicated faculty members and stunning placement opportunities.

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.

The fee structure of the college is very high, but the college is very good at the growing stage.

Faculty: Teachers are supportive and well-qualified. Their teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is very good because teachers teach only important subjects which are useful for us. They do not teach the subjects which we learned in the previous years like 11th and 12th academics. The difficulty level of semester exams is good.

Absolutely best atmosphere to learn new things.

Faculty: The faculty is friendly with us in sharing their knowledge at any point in time, but there'll be many leaves from the faculty. And coming to my course (DSAI), the curriculum is designed in a way to explore the areas of machine learning, data analytics, and related technologies. Our semester exams are not so tough, but moderate.

IIIT Dharwad's review with advantage and disadvantage.

Faculty: Faculty (core subjects) are great. Few subject faculty are good—not that good. Yes, this course curriculum is relevant. Yes, it does make the students industry-ready. It is not that tough to get good marks; one can get good marks if he or she can listen to the to the class and understand concepts. There is a relatively high mark. So, the pass percentage depends on all the students.

Campus placements are good but do not reach the level of expectations.

Faculty: • Teachers are very supportive. • Almost all professors have Ph.D. degrees. • As we all know that the curriculum of IIIT is good. You can also check the curriculum of all 3 branches on our college website. • For electronics, exams are quite difficult, but if you give 2 hrs daily for understanding, you will go through exams easily. • Minimum 85% attendance is required to sit in exams.
