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.
Infrastructure: As it is a newly formed institution, the infrastructure and hostel are comparatively better than old IITs. Here, every year, freshers will get the chance to change the menu in the mess. Even though it's not that tasty, it's healthy and hygienic. Every department has its own labs and equipment available; if necessary, students from other departments can also use other department labs.
Faculty: Professors are helpful, but the course curriculum is kind of slightly hard, so to get good grades, one has to match the pace. Some courses are not related to the industry which we are interested in, but as it is core, one definitely has to finish the course.
Other: Monthly, an event is conducted. Every club in our campus participates actively. Aside from events, hackathons will be conducted on our campus once a semester, in which nearby college students will also take part. I have chosen this course to explore something new.

Inside the best 3rd gen IIT.
Placements: Almost every student got placed, while the others opted for start-up or higher studies. Top recruiting companies are Amazon, Infosys, Paytm, AIR Asian, Oracle, Zepto, Mathworks, Texas Instruments, etc. They offer placements. The average package is around 16-20 LPA. The highest package has been 52 LPA, and the lowest is 8 LPA. Internships are available in companies like Amazon, Texas Instruments, JIO, Arista Network, etc. Top roles offered are SDE and product manager.
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.
Faculty: The college has an amazing academic structure. Teacher-student ratio of 1:10 and maintains a good balance between studies and extracurricular activities. Professors with impeccable academic records. Sports coaches here are not just skilled but highly supportive. Whether a student is a beginner or a pro, the coaches have them covered.
Other: The college provides a bus service for students traveling to the city or railway station. Our annual tech fest, PARSEC, has been a highly successful event and is eagerly anticipated by students. Multiple workshops and technical competitions are held, featuring a significant prize pool. We receive participants from various colleges across the state. The annual cultural fest, HarshtaaL, takes place at the end of March.

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%.
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.
Faculty: The course curriculum is good like the other IITs. Teachers are highly qualified. Their teaching quality is very good. There are 2 short exams like quizzes along with mid-semester and end-semester. The course curriculum mainly focused on subjects like physics, chemistry maths, and biology in the first year, and then onwards to the specific industry.
Other: Campus life is overall good. Due to the lack of the infrastructure, it is incomplete.

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.
Infrastructure: Nice buildings, nice hostel, nice mess, nice roads, nice gym, nice indoor stadium, nice people, nice staff, good atmosphere, environment, nice college, nice people, nice atmosphere for the library, and a very good library, nice chairs in the library, very high-class library.
Faculty: Good faculty, nice qualified teachers, and Ph.D. teachers from prospective IITs. The courses for the first year are very relevant, and the exams are quite difficult, but you can do with minimum preparation day by day. Exams are quizzes, midsem, and endsem exams.
Other: As a first-year student, the fresher's party is the only event conducted till now, but there are other courses and activities as told by seniors.

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.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good, but hostel food is not. The classrooms and library are really nice. But, there are frequent power cuts. The Wi-Fi offers fast internet. There is a wellness center if you are sick, a sports complex to play games and a gym. Canteen food is affordable and tasty.
Faculty: Semester exams are difficult. Students have to prepare from the start of the semester itself. Yes, the chemical engineering branch is really helpful in the core side. Almost all the professors are highly qualified, but a few don't have proper ability to teach.
Other: There will be 2 or 3 DJ nights in each semester and many teach meetups. There will be an inter-IIT sports once a year.

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.
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 sports. There is a gym.
Faculty: Teachers are ready to clarify our doubts. They are qualified and knowledgeable. Semester exams are medium to difficult. The pass percentage is 30%.
