When it comes to choosing between IIT Bhilai and IIT Dharwad, there are certain factors to consider. Here are some points to keep in mind:

Faculty: One of the most important factors to consider when choosing an institute is the faculty. IIT Bhilai, although a recently established institute, boasts of some renowned and dedicated professors who are committed to providing the best education to their students.
Course curriculum: IIT Bhilai has a well-designed curriculum that is constantly updated to meet the changing needs of the industry. This ensures that students are well-prepared for their future careers.
Campus infrastructure: IIT Bhilai has state-of-the-art facilities, including well-equipped labs, libraries, and sports facilities.

Location: IIT Bhilai is located in a serene and peaceful environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This can help students focus on their studies without any distractions.
Hostel facilities: For students who need to stay on campus, hostel facilities can be an important consideration. IIT Bhilai has well-maintained hostels with all the necessary facilities to ensure a comfortable stay for students.

Based on the above factors, if you are looking for an institute with dedicated faculty, a well-designed course curriculum, state-of-the-art infrastructure, good placement opportunities, a peaceful location, and comfortable hostel facilities, then IIT Bhilai would be a good choice for you.

Which is better, IIT Kharagpur aerospace or IIT Dharwad CSE?

The choice of both branch and institute depends a lot on factors like your career prospects and areas of interest. However, since you haven't decided on a branch yet, I will assume you aren't yet sure of a branch and are open to exploring more branches. Don't worry, as most students clearing JEE Advanced face a similar situation. Personally, I will recommend you to go for IIT KGP over ISM Dhanbad because of 2 strong reasons
IIT KGP gives you the chance to explore and identify your area of interest. Even if you go for coding and later realize you don't like it, you can always go for non-core jobs that are in abundance at IIT KGP. But in the case of Dhanbad, you will have to stick to coding irrespective of your career inclinations. This is a major factor as it is your passion that determines your success rate.
IIT KGP has a more diverse group of individuals that are literal geniuses. Even if you are an above-average student you will face tough competition and thus will always strive to excel and grow. Dhanbad has an average-quality peer group and thus your growth might be restricted there.
I can only guide you to make a good decision, the final authority lies with you.

Which is better to join for the CSE branch, IIT Goa or IIT Dharwad?

Mayank Jain

29 Jul 22

IIT Goa will be a better option for joining CSE. It was under the mentorship of IIT Goa and a good coding culture is slowly developing on campus. The placement has been great for CSE over the last few years. Reputed MNCs like Microsoft, Google, Intel, Bosch, Paytm, etc. visited IIT Goa placements. During the last placement drive, students of CSE received the median CTC of INR 21 LPA.

Which option is better, CS at BITS Pilani, IIT Dharwad, or civil at IIT D?

Tahir Bansal

15 Apr 23

If you are interested in pursuing Computer Science, then according to me, BITS Pilani is a great option for you. However, IIT Dharwad is also a good choice, but BITS Pilani already has a well-established reputation and a large alumni network. The start-up culture at BITS Pilani is growing every year, giving you an opportunity to explore the world of entrepreneurship. Before deciding, you should check out the seniors at both colleges and see where you fit in easily.

On the other hand, if you are interested in Civil Engineering, IIT Dharwad is an excellent option. It is a well-established institute with a good reputation in the field of engineering.

If you haven't figured out your interests yet, then it is suggested that you opt for BITS Pilani in Computer Science. The placement opportunities and the chance to study abroad/startups in CS are higher. It is difficult to study CS subjects on different MOOCs while pursuing Civil Engineering at IIT Dharwad. So, choose your branch and college according to your future plans.

Which is a better option, EEE at IIT Dharwad, EC at BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus, EnI at BITS Pilani campus or ISE at RVCE?

Shanaya Gupta

02 Aug 22

The best options among these are BITS Pilani EnI and BITS Hyderabad EC. BITS is a well-recognized name in the industry. It will be easier to leverage the brand value to secure good internships, projects, and placement opportunities.

According to recent highlights of BITS Pilani placements students of EnI receive an average CTC of around INR 20 LPA. The median CTC for EC at BITS Hyderabad is around INR 19 LPA.

Choosing BITS campuses will certainly give you a competitive edge in the industry.

Which of the two should I choose: IIT Dharwad EE or NITK Surathkal CSE?

Amit Negi

17 Nov 20

IIT Dharwad is a relatively newly established institute and the first batch of engineering graduates in 2020 only, it is yet to be ranked by NIRF. While NITK Surathkal is one of the oldest NITs of the country and is ranked 33rd by NIRF for Engineering.

The Table given below briefly compares factors like seat intake and fees.

Category	IIT Dharwad-EE	NITK-CSE

Seat intake	40	46

Curriculum

IIT Dharwad

Control systems, Electrical Power Quality, Network theory, fundamentals of microprocessors, IOT are some important subjects included in the curriculum.

NITK

The faculty-student ratio at NITK is 1:35.
Along with theoretical knowledge, practical coding sessions and hackathons are regularly organised to encourage students to develop an excellent grasp at programming.

Placement

NITK

The CSE branch has a placement rate of 100%.
200+ companies took part in the recruitment drive with top recruiters being Amazon, IBM, Google, Accenture, etc.

Campus

NITK- Spread over 100 acre area, it is a very beautiful campus and has it’s very own private beach as well. It has state-of-art-infrastructure with modern smart classrooms and well equipped labs and sports facilities.
IIT Dharwad- It currently functions in a transit campus hence all facilities cannot be availed as of now but the proposed campus is supposed to be spread across 400 acres and full of ample opportunities for students. Electrical labs are an essential part of the course but since this is the transit campus, labs are not completely equipped.

NIT Surathkal or NITK is one of the premier engineering institutes of the country and has a strong alumni network and industry connect. Training sessions are even organised by industry giants like IBM, CoCubes. IIT Dharwad being a new institute needs time and resources to make its mark. Apart from this, computer science is the most sought after skill-set at present and attracts lucrative offers. Hence, students should make an informed choice according to their discretion.
