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.

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.

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.

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%.

2Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Campus has good infrastructure and food but placements are absolutely bad.

Placements: I would say placements are quite poor here. Only students with the highest CPI get placed or are offered internships. As of placements, one might probably regret joining here. Last year, only 30% of students were placed while some opted for higher studies, whereas others were left without any option.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good, as it’s a newly built college. It’s clean, and the buildings and hostels are kept cool. While there is no air-conditioner facility in the hostels, the classrooms are equipped with air-conditioners. However, the buildings are a bit far from each other, so you may prefer to cycle rather than walk.

Faculty: I would say it’s okay. Faculty members don’t personally care about your grades. However, teachers have at least 7–8 years of experience in teaching and are graduates from IITs or NITs. Curriculum is well-organised. You get a total of 4 months of holidays per year, with 3 months for summer holidays and 1 month for winter holidays.

Other: Total campus strength is 1,200, so it can get crowded in the libraries and canteens. However, campus is expected to expand in the next 5 years, which should alleviate this issue. As for fests and events, the audience turnout is great, and the organization is pretty good. It might be slightly below your expectations, but overall, it’s decent.
