Inside the best 3rd gen IIT.

Infrastructure: The college has an amazing hostel with a fully air-conditioned mess, Wi-Fi, and power backup. The college has facilities like basketball, badminton, table tennis, fuss ball and 3 common rooms with a capacity of 100 students in each hostel. Every wing has 3 washing machines. The indoor facility has badminton, squash, volleyball, and a gym. Temporary grounds for cricket and football and a helipad. The medical facilities are very efficient with 24/7 working and an ambulance just a call away.

Great things take time, and IIT Dharwad will shine.

Infrastructure: As the college is in the developing phase, it is not the appropriate time to conclude about infrastructure, but till now the buildings are class, big, and enough to meet the requirements of an IIT. All the basic facilities are available to the students and staff members. We have a mess, a gymkhana, 2 hostels, one wellness center, etc. There is a lack of sports grounds, so we used it from the Walmi campus.

Our college has good faculty members who happily clear students' doubts.

Infrastructure: They provide labs, equipment, materials, and everything. I'm still in my first year in this college, so I don't know about the engineering lab. Our seniors say that they are better than mechanical. Everything is good. Our college provides all facilities like a medical lab, hostel, canteen, and mess. The ground for cricket and football is under construction and will be available in the next year. There is a wellness center here for medical issues. We have a common indoor facility for indoor sport...

IITs with best buildings, the latest IITs.

Infrastructure: The buildings and infrastructure are quite amazing. As ours is a new generation IIT, everything was built recently, and everything is amazing. It feels good to experience things here, though there may be a little discomfort with Wi-Fi, but it’s okay. Everything provided is of fine quality.

The basic idea about IIT Dharwad.

Infrastructure: Talking about our facilities, we have access to 24/7 Wi-Fi and the library. As it is a 3rd-gen IIT, the infrastructure is not completed yet, so it can take 10 years to be fully developed. The food in the mess is average. The canteen is open till 3:00, so you can go there and enjoy. There is no restriction on roaming; you can roam around the campus. The medical facility here is available 24/7. We have a nurse, and the doctors visit daily, but in restricted time.

Nice infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: All facilities are fine. But the signal of our sim is not available in the room. For outdoor games, we have to go to another campus named Walami which is near IIT Dharwad. All medical facilities are very nice. There is a separate shop for our general resources.

Campus life at IIT Dharwad.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure here is amazing. As it's a new IIT, it's hostels are far better than the holder IITs. The hostels are equipped with good Wi-Fi but sometimes there may be temporary network issues. The classrooms here are well furnished and equipped with all the necessities required. Mess food is above average, and there is also a night canteen that remains open till 3:00 am. Our campus's main motto is to make it a " Net Zero Campus," which will be self-sufficient for water and electricity and...

Not satisfied with the mess, but satisfied with the faculty.

Infrastructure: The thing that I like the most about my college is its infrastructure. We have a wide area in the library to study in a peaceful environment. But the mess is below average; we also have limited facilities in sports. There are only two hostel blocks for students so in each room there will be four members.

One of the best IITs in south india.

Infrastructure: As our IIT Dharwad is new generation IIT, which was started in 2016. All the buildings are super good and their infrastructure is super unique but the sad part of our campus is that Wi-Fi is not so good. But our college community assured us that they were going to fix that issue soon.

Our college got good placements, but slightly dissatisfied with the mess.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is best compared among new generation IIT. The hostel facilities are good. We have a very good atmosphere to study in hostel rooms. But we don't have a permanent ground to play. We should go to a temporary campus to play sports like cricket and volleyball.

I am actually satisfied with the faculty, but dissatisfied with the mess food.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is very good. The mess food quality is the worst; many times we see insects in our food. But they are trying to improve the quality now. Not even once a week they provide chicken to eat for free. We should buy coupons to eat chicken. Our college gym facilities and medical facilities are good.

Review of B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing in IIT DHARWAD.

Infrastructure: This college is situated in Dharwad, which is well known for its weather. You will have a good experience and the campus is large and surrounded by forest. We have good infrastructure and a good library but the number of copies of books is quite low, but the wifi network is excellent. Food is also good. Sports ground is currently unavailable; one should visit the old campus and have access over there.

Satisfied with faculty and infrastructure. Dissatisfied with mess and playground.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good . We don't have signal in the college area. The mess food is worst. We see worms in mess food many times. They don't have quality. Even the canteen food doesn't have any quality. There is no permanent ground to play any outdoor sport; we should go to a temporary campus to play.

Food's good, don't bring too much expectations, the first month will be a challenge but you'll get used to it. When you get hungry after dinner or just during the day, there's a canteen at our place. We've got four meals a day, including fruit, every day.
