      Academics

      The course structure of the college is really good It has multiple subjects for all knowledge in all streams, this gives us wide experience and exposure in terms of knowledge and great learning throughout the years.

      College Infra

      This beautiful college of Karnataka of IIIT dharwad has a really nice infrastructure. The college is well equipped with all amenities like gym, Library, hostels,canteens and cafeteria. Its a beautiful campus with all facilities.

      Campus Life

      It has a really good campus life, the campus is surrounded by all amenities, the location is also really good, the evenings were the best always considering the beautiful climate of Karnataka. I really enjoyed.

      Placements

      The placements of the campus are really good. I recently got placed in tcs. This was a campus placement. The package was also quite good, one thing is that you have to have good cgpa to get a good placement.

      Value For Money

      It costed me around 13,00,000 for my entire course. A well off person may feel okay but some people may not find it worth but considering its a tier 2 college it's definitely value for the money we put.

      Academics

      IIIT Dharwad offers B.Tech programs in Computer Science, Data Science, and Electronics & Communication Engineering, along with Ph.D programs with core IT areas. The curriculum emphasizes innovation, practical learning and interdisciplinary research. Students gain hands-on experience through projects, labs, and industry collaborations.

      College Infra

      IIIT Dharwad's beautiful campus spans 60 acres at Tadasinakoppa near Dharwad. It features modern academic blocks, labs, a library, hostels, sports facilities, a cafeteria and green spaces fostering holistic learning.

      Campus Life

      The biggest perk of this campus is the surrounding climate which complements well to people staying in the hostel. The campus life has given utmost learning and exposure and driven a path to develop interpersonal skills and friendships.

      Placements

      This aspect of placements disappointed me as IIIT Dharwad only accepts companies that give an annual package of more than 6,00,000. Considering this aspect, people who aim for a package less than 6LPA or below average students, would find it difficult to achieve.

      Value For Money

      The overall fees for the 4-year program for me was 13,00,000. Considering the certification provided and the value of a IIIT Graduate in the market, it may feel worthy for some but if the placements are not satisfactory, many people don't feel the ROI is worthy.

      Academics

      The teachers are well qualified PHDs from reputed IIT's. Though they are young so they lack experience. the institute has the best advanced curriculum, which is similar from that of IIIT-H. From 1st year we have individual projects.

      College Infra

      Currently the institute runs in its temporary campus in IT park, Hubli. It is a bit congested there. But the institute will move to its permanent campus on September 2020. Our permanent campus is well equipped with all the modern facilities.

      Placements

      As our college is newly established, it lacks a well defined placement cell. It is improving every year with more number of companies visiting our college. Placement depends on the capabilities of student.
