Good faculty, infrastructure, and facilities, poor transportation to the city, average placements.

Placements: Top recruiting companies are Arista, Visa, Goldman Sachs, etc., and our CDC team is trying to reach out for new companies. Data analyst, AIML, and finance-related jobs are highly offered. 90% of students are definitely placed every year from our campus.

Great things take time, and IIT Dharwad will shine.

Placements: Chemical, biochemical, civil, maths, and computing are the branches introduced in 2022. There is no data present for placements. But branches like CS, mechanical, and electrical have average placements. The average salary package offered is 15 LPA. The percentage of students who got placed from those branches is around 70-80%.

I think, as a 3rd Gen IIT student, the placements are improving from year to year.

Placements: In my course, CSE, 60 students are there in total for 1st-year students, with two sections, S1 and S2, 160 students in each section. As a first-year student, I did not know much about placements, but as a 3rd-generation IIT student, it is the best of all. The average package is 21 LPA for CSE.

Good infrastructure but come mentally prepared.

Placements: There are 12 students from the chemical engineering branch. The highest package is 54 lakhs in the CS branch. Very few students get internships in any branch. As ours is the third batch, since this is a new IIT, we still don't know about chemical engineering placements.

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

Placements: This year placements are going on because our branch started three years ago. We hope that this year will get better placements. There is a career development cell (CDC) that helps to join internships. There are advanced research facilities that help more to qualify.
