How good is CSE at the newer IITs, such as Dharwad, Goa, Dhanbad, and Bhilai?

As a second year B.Tech CSE student at IIT Dharwad, I can give you a fair idea of my department/college.

IIT Dharwad got IIT Bombay as its mentor, so we follow their curriculum for CSE. Each semester comprises the mid sem exam, quizzes and the end sem exam. The curriculum is designed for a smooth learning process, so we do not jump right away to difficult concepts after learning the programming syntax. Not everyone knows the basics of C++ and other programming languages, so this smooth transition is very helpful.

Prof. Abhiram Ranade teaches CS101 during the 1st sem. He is a faculty member of IIT Bombay. He is a highly experienced teacher and he teaches the basics of C++ and other programming languages very well. He is very soft spoken. The entire department faculty is highly competent and experienced. The Computer Lab is air-conditioned, and open for 24*7 access. The All-in-one PC’s are great for completing lab assignments without any hassle. 

The new IITs are making quick progress, and IIT Dharwad has the benefit of being close to the IT hub of India. So, placements and internships are more easily accessible. You can definitely consider this college for your B.Tech CSE.
