What is the best thing about IIT, Dharwad of which people are not aware of, something that even old IITs don't have?
Studying at IIT Dharwad is like running a startup.
At IIT Dharwad, you’ll be responsible for setting up the college culture. You’ll form new clubs and societies and learn teamwork. At the same time, you’ll get to enjoy a lot of freedom. You’ll learn ways to find sponsors for your respective club, and to make budgets for important college events. You’ll learn to manage things on your own, with minimum guidance from seniors.
This experience of being part of a developing institution is extremely unique. Even the old IITs can’t offer such learnings.
How can I explain to my mum that it's better to take IIIT Delhi or IIIT Allahabad than taking admission in IIT Tirupati, Bhilai, Palakkad or Dharwad? She is very insistent on me getting that "IIT TAG"
IIIT Allahabad has good placement figures, and all the major companies visit its campus each year. Not only that, the college has a strong alumni network and brand name.
Try to tell you mom that the ‘IIT’ tag does not hold much value for 3rd gen. IITs. These colleges have just sprouted, and it will take some time for them to create a strong presence.
All the major Product and Service based companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Qualcomm, Walmart, Flipkart, Amazon, Samsung, Intel, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, Atlasian, Sprinklr, Zomato, Oracle, Paytm, Airtel, Swiggy, ICICI Bank, Citi Bank, etc. visit the campus during placement season. The average package for IT is more than 24 LPA, and the median package is more than 21 LPA. You’ll receive top coding culture and senior mentoring at IIITA, even better than some well known IITs.
IIIT Allahabad is better than top NITs and 2nd gen. IITs. Its placements are even better than IIT Gandhinagar. Brand name matters, but other factors need to be checked as well. According to me, IIIT Allahabad is the best college for those who successfully clear JEE Mains.
Is life at super new IITs like Dharwad and Bhilai boring?
Life at IIT Bhilai is great.
The labs are open 24*7 for access, and the annual techno-cultural fest of IIT Bhilai ‘Meraz’ is the biggest in Chhattisgarh. It takes place after 1st tierce exams, which are held in September. The hostels have recreational rooms with TV, TT tables and Carrom Boards. Badminton courts are also available for hostellers. There are plenty of clubs at IIT Bhilai, like the Electronics Club (Electromos), the Dance Club, the Music Club, etc. You can apply for any of these.
Apart from the fest, Inter IIT competitions and Diwali celebrations take place during odd semesters. The highlight of even semesters is Prayatna, the Inter-College Sports League. It lasts for 2 months, and is a lot of fun. You can either participate in the league or cheer for your friends. The college also hosts Smart India Hackathon and Cult Night in which the Music, Dance and Dramatics Clubs showcase their talent. Then, there are Holi Celebrations.
No college is boring, be it IIT Dharwad or IIT Bhilai. Each place has its own clubs and societies. It totally depends on you whether you spend your time sitting in the hostel room, or participate in various college activities.
Why is there so little information on IIT Dharwad?
IIT Dharwad started functioning from 2016, and is one of the 3rd gen. IITs. Because it is very new, not much information is available about it online.
It recently shifted to its permanent campus, and is continuously making progress in infrastructure and academics. The mess food may not be to the liking of North Indian students because it caters to the South Indian taste palette. The highlight is the teaching faculty which consists of best teachers from IIT Bombay.
IIT Dharwad is continuously progressing, and will hopefully make its place among renowned engineering colleges in the future.
What should a fresher carry with himself while joining IIT Dharwad?
Keep your luggage light and composed of only essential items.
Here is a list of things you must carry along for your stay at IIT Dharwad-

What order should I give in my preference list for IIT Goa, IIT Jammu, IIT Dharwad, IIT Tirupati, IIT Palakkad and IIT Bhilai?
IIT Tirupati and Palakkad were established in 2015, while the others were set up in 2016. Thus, these two colleges have developed better infrastructure for freshers.
The transit campus of IIT Tirupati consists of hostels and academic buildings, along with other facilities. IIT Palakkad has also completed its transit campus. IIT Tirupati is located close to Tirupati town, but IIT Palakkad is in the countryside. Moreover, Tirupati is just 3 hours away from Chennai, if one travels by bus. The transit campus of other institutions will take longer to build, because their plots were finalized only recently.
IIT Tirupati and Palakkad are better options than the others. Next, IIT Dharwad and IIT Goa are better options in locational terms. But IIT Goa witnessed some violent incidents on the campus a few years back. This makes IIT Dharwad a better option.
I would recommend you keep IIT Jammu as the last option because of its location. So, the preference list goes as- IIT Tirupati > IIT Palakkad > IIT Dharwad> IIT Goa= IIT Bhilai> IIT Jammu.
What can you tell me about the food, weather and language issues in IIT Tirupati and nearby?
Tirupati is the site of the famous Tirumala Balaji Temple. So Tirupati is a tourist attraction, and a developed area. I can completely understand your concerns regarding the food, weather and language in and around IIT Tirupati.
I can enlighten you about the mess food of IIT Tirupati. It is an amalgamation of North and South Indian dishes. The menu generally consists of Dal, Sambar, Cury, Curd, Salad and Rice. Mess food can’t be compared to homemade food, but it is decent enough and comparable to the mess food at other IITs.
The weather of Tirupati is extremely hot from April to May, with temperatures around 41-43 degrees. But these are the months of college vacation, so you need not worry. The monsoons take place between July- September end, and the winters are quite warm and comfortable. The place is quite liveable.
The common language of Tirupati is Telugu, but as it is a famous tourist attraction, the local vendors and autowalas know good-enough Hindi. Inside the campus, English is the commonly spoken language by professors and students. Language usually won’t be a problem in and around the campus.
You’ll have a good time at IIT Tirupati, irrespective of your cultural background.
