I got IIIT Dharwad CSE. Is it good to join there or shall I proceed to round two? What is the mentor institute for IIIT Dharwad?
IIIT Dharwad is a newly established institute and it will be better not to make high expectations from this institute yet. It is running as a temporary campus at IT Park. Still, things have got little changes as it has permanent faculty, sports ground, labs infrastructure, as it got the mentor-like IIIT Bangalore.
You must go for round 2 without any doubt. Because this institute is running in a provisional campus in a free building and the college administration does not have a single penny to pay rent or take a permanent campus. Everything is going on charity in this institute.
Infrastructures, lab facilities, hostels, mess, administration, and most importantly, the placement is lagging; in short, all these are very poor.
The following table gives a brief overview of IIIT Dharwad, considering its placement process:
|
Criteria |
IIIT Dharwad |
|
Highest CTC |

|
Lowest CTC |

|
Average CTC |
6.5 LPA |
Students get extremely worst treatment here, specifically in the hostels, as it has no facilities and the mess is completely pathetic.
Thus, it is requested not to join this institute, as the college environment is impoverished than any other private institute. College administration is totally frustrated and not even able to run the central Government institute.
It is better to select some other private college rather than this IIIT. However, attendance here is very reluctant, which is 85%, but college administration considers the below percentage if the student gives them any excuses.
Should I choose IIIT Kottayam, Dharwad, Kurnool or Trichy?
You should prefer IIIT Kottayam. It has a similar curriculum as IIIT Hyderabad. IIIT Kottayam placements 2022 concluded with the highest CTC of INR 42 LPA. In the last three years, the average CTC of the institute has increased from INR 4 LPA to INR 9.68 LPA. reputed companies such as IBM, L&T, Reliance(JIO), NISSAN, etc. took part in the placement drive.
IIIT Kottayam has a thriving coding culture, almost at par with old IIITs such as IIITA, IIITG, etc. Students of the institute have been performing well in competitive coding forums.
Which is better, IIIT Dharwad or IIIT Naya Raipur?
One of my friends studied at IIIT Naya Raipur, so in the following, some points are highlighted considering this institute.
- Growth: Their laboratory infrastructure is well-furnished and provides all the basic facilities to the students, including high-speed internet. The campus is very peaceful and safe. All research projects, workshops, E-cells events and seminars are continuously conducted here. These help this institute to grow quite rapidly.
- Placement: My friend once told me that one of his seniors had secured AIR 11 in GATE; however, he is now pursuing M.Tech studies at Cornell. The achievements of the student’s project have a growing prospect for this institute. As it is guided by IIIT Hyderabad, the median salary is higher than the other institutes of India.

- Atmosphere:There is a quota for the students who come from Chhattisgarh; besides, there is also an NTPC quota. Telugu state students bond with the Telugu squad. Thus, there is a huge diversity in the student’s background.
- Faculty: Director of this institute has a Doctoral Degree (PhD) from Tokyo University. One of the professors, Mr Ramakrishna Bandi, achieved a PhD from IIT Roorkee and followed Post-Doc from IIT Bombay.
- Food: Mess foods here are homelier than the other institutes. It is less oily. However, the good thing is that the mess committee takes the student’s opinion and tries to make food as per their preferences. Thereby, a student can try to be the mess committee member, but it is not compulsory at all; they can be on the side with someone who is already the member.
- Hostel: Hostels here are cleared every day. Students will get a room with a bed, a cupboard, mattress, a desk, a chair, along with all the necessary stuff. Students have to pay meagre maintenance fees for their hostel accommodation. The hostel staff are amicable and provide low-rate laundry services to the students, but the students can also pay to use the washing machines at the shopping complex.
So, it is suggested that you go for IIIT Naya Raipur, because it will provide you with all the necessities required for a student in their daily life.
