All the faculty is PHD. NO faculty below PHD qualification is allowed or accepted into the college. We have our exams in the last week of every month and the semester only lasts 4 months and the pther 4 months of a year are holidays, giving you plenty of free time.
For placement the eligibility is decided by the companies and their is a written exam before the interviews which is to be qualified. JpMorgan, infosys, etc are companies whoch hire from here, obviously expected from an IIT
Read Full Reviewcurriculum is very nice and academics is very strict and there will rules and regulation about academics and there 2 Quiz and mid semester and end semester exam also. faculties were also there all india's top educator .
The eligibility criteria for placement in our college is to have a minimum CGPA of 5.5 and many companies offers placement and internships with the involvement of Career Development Cell(CDC) which approaches the companies. Average package is about 16 lakhs per annum and highest is about 60 lakhs per annum.
Read Full ReviewFaculties are highly qualified and have deep interest in their subjects and teaching. The curriculum is good but can be improved with adding more practical courses and relative courses in the respective branches. the total of 4 exams including one Mid semester and one End semester exams is conducted every semester. The courses needs to be more efficient in making a student industry ready in my opinion.
The college contains the committee called as Career Development Cell(CDC) that accounts for placement and internships provided to students. The placement data is only available for branches like mechanical, computer science and electrical as they are the oldest branches and not for newer branches like civil and chemical because they started in 2022. The average package is about 16 lakhs per annum and about 70 percent students placed.
Read Full ReviewCourse curriculum is very nice it's decided by a iit from 23 every year and same course is offer to each iit beside this overall course cirriculum is nice and helpful to understand the complete subject also I am not from tech field but there also very nice course designed by IIT's for cse branch. About faculty, lots of faculty head for particular branch are fully experienced and also IITian or have experience of teaching in iit, also there new faculty members are have got their PhD from IIT and give more opportunity to student for overall development of student.
There are many opportunities in tech field there is high chance that I get place through college e cell if I don't get then I pursue for higher education and there also lot of opportunities in government jobs in electrical field also developing ev sector.
Read Full ReviewMy rank was not good to get the admission in other iits. All faculties are Ph.D holders and they have interest in research. Some teachers teach very good but some are not for me. There is mid sem at the mid of the semester and end semester exam at the end of semester.
Placement of the last year was verry terrible. 69 percent of the students were unplaced till the end of April end. Texas Instrument, Arista, Accenture etc visited out college last year. Highest package was around 45 lakhs and average was around 12 lakhs. I will try for the placement
Read Full ReviewI think the curriculum is on par with the emerging technologies and provides industry ready skills. The academics and faculty are extraordinary here. I chose this course since it is rapidly growing and i was interested in AI/ML. Almost all the faculty here are also top IIT's graduates and they teach very clearly such that everyone can understand. Exams will be around every months in a period of four months over a semester.We have quiz 1,mid sem, quiz 2,end sem exams. The exam difficulty level is moderate and sometimes tough since it is an iit.
Campus placements are being offered here. Approximately 53 out of 200 registered were placed and still the placement drive is going on and some people webt for higher studies. Different companies put certain cpi as their eligibility criteria. Google, meta and Amazon like top companies visit IIT Dharwad and the highest package went to even 1 crore per annum but in this year it was 48lpa. Almost 30-40%students are being placed here. The plan after getting degree is to get experience by job.
Read Full ReviewHere academic schedule is flexible. We don't have perfect timings ime., daily class for each subject. We have some times labs on same time. We have enough free time on Saturday and Sunday. So we can enjoy on that days
There are no good placements or jobs so far because of it is third generation campus and also there is recession running these days so we have to search for them from online or we will try off campus placements
Read Full ReviewCourse curriculum has quite good coursed which are helpful for research and also for the sake of placements. I wouldn't say faculty are top class but they good . They have a good knowledge in their respective subject.
Placements are quite good. Last year my batch has a placement percentage about 80%.A very few were gone for the interns . 2 or 3 Start ups are down by the students. Compared to the many other colleges our college has good placement rate and packages.
Read Full ReviewIn our computer science and engineering department. Basically our curriculum consists of various programming subjects and mainly related how to apply algorithms for various questions.Faculty are well educated.
Our college is very good in infrastructure perspective basically I have intersted in computer science and engineering and we had various tests on getting admission through Jee mains and jee advanced basically it will be on rank
Read Full ReviewThe course curriculum is very well designed here at IIT Dharwad keeping in the all-round development of the student. The first year of every student goes into studying common core courses which helps the student in developing a good understanding of every subject. The Faculty over here is one of the best the country can offer and is at par with the faculty from the top IITs of India. The fees over here would be approximately 12-13 lakh for the entirety of 4 years. There are scholarships present for every category of students which helps reduce the economic burden of the students to a great extent.
The placement and job opportunities here at IIT Dharwad are not that good. Being is a third-generation IIT that has just recently started. The eligibility criteria is to have a minimum of 8 CGPA to sit for the campus placement. Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Microsoft and other famous MNCs all of them come to our institute. The highest package is 50 LPA and the average is around 22 LPA. Around 50 per cent of the students get placed here and the others try for off-campus placements and higher studies. My plan after getting a degree is to do my Master's outside India and then look for a job or start my own company.
