IIT Tirupati was started in 2015, and IIT Dharwad in 2016. As a student of CSE at IIT Dharwad, I can give you some details on my branch/college-
The CSE branch at IIT Dharwad receives internship offers from well-known companies like McAfee, Microsoft, Google, and some well reputed academic institutes. The CSE students qualify for GSoC in decent numbers, and the Open Student Society of IIT Dharwad conducts an Open Source Contribution Event during the summers. It is called ‘Summer of Innovation’, and it receives participants from across India, including the OS society of IIT Kharagpur. Dharwad is well-connected to major IT hubs- Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad. IIT Dharwad is backed by a huge incubation center based in Hubli called Sandbox Startups.
Based on my experience, I can assure you a rich learning environment at the IIT Dharwad CSE department.
Even though IIT Dharwad is very new, it has certain advantages over NITK.
IIT Dharwad carries the prestigious ‘IIT’ tag which benefits it in many ways. The government allocates a separate, bigger budget for the IITs. IIT Dharwad is under the mentorship of IIT Bombay, so it receives highly experienced teachers from the IITB CSE department.
Moreover, the CSE curriculum of IIT Dharwad is the same as that of IIT Bombay. While formulating its curriculum, the authorities took suggestions from the students. This made the syllabus student friendly. IIT Dharwad has recently shifted to its permanent campus, and it offers good extracurriculars for the students.
NITK is a prestigious college with very high rankings. But even if you end up with IIT Dharwad, you can make the most of it.
As a second year B.Tech CSE student at IIT Dharwad, I can give you a fair idea of my department/college.
IIT Dharwad got IIT Bombay as its mentor, so we follow their curriculum for CSE. Each semester comprises the mid sem exam, quizzes and the end sem exam. The curriculum is designed for a smooth learning process, so we do not jump right away to difficult concepts after learning the programming syntax. Not everyone knows the basics of C++ and other programming languages, so this smooth transition is very helpful.
Prof. Abhiram Ranade teaches CS101 during the 1st sem. He is a faculty member of IIT Bombay. He is a highly experienced teacher and he teaches the basics of C++ and other programming languages very well. He is very soft spoken. The entire department faculty is highly competent and experienced. The Computer Lab is air-conditioned, and open for 24*7 access. The All-in-one PC’s are great for completing lab assignments without any hassle.
The new IITs are making quick progress, and IIT Dharwad has the benefit of being close to the IT hub of India. So, placements and internships are more easily accessible. You can definitely consider this college for your B.Tech CSE.
If you wish to join an IIT, and IIT Dharwad seems to be a confusing option, you can opt for electrical at 2nd gen IITs like Ropar or Bhubaneswar. You can also opt for ECE at IIT Dhanbad. You’ll easily get these options with your rank. Else, you may opt for ECE in IIIT Allahabad. All these options will give you good placements and good peers. You’ll get ample exposure at these campuses.
As for IIT Dharwad vs IIIT Gwalior CSE, the second option is better. However, the scenario may not remain the same in coming years because both the colleges are in their developing stage.
Here is some information about B.Tech CSE at IIT Tirupati-
Thus, IIT Tirupati is a decent option for B.Tech CSE.
