Academics

I am pursuing electrical engineering, as I am a fresher I don't have much knowledge about academics as first year is completely unrelated to our respective core subjects, But few courses are of half sem courses due to which we are facing a bit burden.

College Infra

college is under construction . Hence, we are not having a good infrastructure . And coming to food and hygienie , Food is improving day by day as far as hygiene is considered we are facing some issues.

Placements

Regarding placements , now it is equal to the placements of few private colleges, but placements are also not so good, But as it is a new campus it takes time ,Hope placements get better. And I think they increase with time.

Academics

I am studying in Electrical engineering . And coming to teaching quality it's not soo good nor soo bad. There are no good proffesors. Like upto us(2022-26 batch) we are facing a lot of problems because there is no proper arrangement of classes .

College Infra

College is under construction but still they are making us (starting from 2022 dec 2) to stay in new campus which is not fully constructed , Hence there is no proper infrastructure. They should arrange for infrastructure faster or they should arrange for temporary arrangements. For now they arranged classrooms in a studyroom of hostel. No our spaces are not clean and hygienic as campus is under construction you can see a lot of dust.

Placements

Avarage placements is 14 to 16 lpa and 51LPA is the highest placement. It's not so good at placements also. As it is a 3rd generation IIT it takes some time to get devoloped. I suggest it's better to take other branches in old generation IIT's than to join CSE in IIT Dharwad.
