Course Curriculum Overview:

Faculties 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.

Placement Experience:

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I 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.

Placement Experience:

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The 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.

Placement Experience:

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.
