Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: The passing batch placement is about 97 percent in CSE. The highest package is 78 LPA and the lowest is around 4 LPA. Super Money and Amazon are recruiting companies. Almost 90 percent of students got internships. A software engineer is the top role offered. In the DSAI branch AI engineer is top role offered. In ECE some students are placed in the board as a product engineer.

Infrastructure: Amazing facilities and infrastructure of the college. Wi-Fi has good speed, amazing classroom facilities, and a separate library 24/7 opened. The hostel facilities are good. Food quality is okay in the hostel and good at the canteen. They have medical and sports 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.

Other: Computer Science is a growing industry. They also teach AI with core. Remove some of the electives that are just for social behaviour not for knowledge events, fest, and campus crowd connectivity is just okay. All types of scholarships are available.

Our college is okay regarding academics.

Placements: Like I am studying in the CSE course, my batch has 215 students currently ongoing in the course. As I see on my website, the highest is around 78 lakhs per annum, and the rest of the details of top recruiters and average packages are all displayed on the official website of IIIT Dharwad under the placement cell.

Infrastructure: The classroom has good infrastructure with good gadgets, but the hostel room is below average, as they are placing 5 students in a small capacity room, so it won’t be that great. The facilities provided in the hostel are lacking, but the Wi-Fi speed is good, and other facilities like the canteen and sports are also good with the required equipment.

Faculty: Teachers here are good, That does not mean that all are good, but some teachers have a good amount of knowledge while others are not up to the mark. They teach relevant topics that the industry needs rather than unhelpful subjects.

Other: I wish that the hostel facilities would improve in my college, and I feel that the events are not up to the mark compared to other colleges I have seen in photos shared by my friends on social media.

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.

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

Placements: The college site says about 66% and that's correct as far as I have heard from the seniors. The highest package offered is around 60 LPA (on campus) and 84 LPA (off campus). The average is around 9 LPA as stated on the website. Oracle was the top recruiter not sure for which course.

Infrastructure: Since it's pretty new, the infrastructure is decent to good. Wi-Fi ranges from place to place but the speed is usually around 80 Mbps as per my observations. The labs are very good and well-functional. There is a computer lab for CSE and DSA courses and an electronics lab for ECE courses. The food in the mess is decent too. The main canteen is not too good tho. There are a few shops that compensate for it. There's a doctor's clinic and a whole building for indoor games however the college's sports ground for outdoor games isn't good.

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.

Other: The cultural clubs are pretty active, since it's new the fests are also gaining visibility and inviting new artists. The area around the campus within the radius of 3 km isn't really useful but it's pretty well connected to the main city areas of Hubli and Dharwad so you can explore them. The campus' in time is 9:30 pm while you can freely roam inside the campus whenever you want as there are no hostel timings.

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.
