Review of IIIT Dharwad

I chose this college because I wanted CSE. Also, the course here is better than many colleges. Because there are no chemistry or other useless subjects that don't have any use in the CSE. But there is no branch change option as they start core subjects from the first semester only.

You have to find an internship by yourself here. You can get some guidance from CGC or the career guidance cell. But mostly you have to work hard, do some projects, make your resume strong, and go for internships by yourself.

Students are eligible for placements in the 7th semester. Many companies like Amazon, cognizant, Infosys, tcs, etc. come to college. Last year because of the recession the placement percentage was 70 percent. I am planning to go for higher studies or an MBA or UPSC.

Fees here are a bit higher than other premier institutions in India as it is based on ppp model. Also, there are chances that fees will increase in the future as no funds are now provided by the government and the management of the college now has to pay all the expenses.

There is one cultural fest called IIIT Habba which is conducted once in a year. There are many tech events conducted by various clubs. You can find all textbooks and reference books in the Library but there are very few books which are not related to academics. Annual sports day is conducted in this college and also there is inter IIIT event for sports. You can prepare or practice sports in college. There are 3 badminton courts, 1 basketball court, 1 volleyball court, 1 football ground which is not developed yet, Cricket nets and carrom, chess, TT, etc. There are many technical and non-tech clubs in college. eg. coding club, gdsc, photography club, drama, music, development, quiz, reading, etc.

Hostel is compulsory in college. But the capacity is less so you have to leave college in the fourth year. Hostel mess is also compulsory and it is decent. Hygiene is maintained in mess but the taste is not that good but it is edible.

In this college, you can get admission only via josaa or csab. For that, you have to give JEE mains. There is no management quota or home state quota. Also, there is no female reservation in this college.
