What should a fresher carry with himself while joining IIT Dharwad?
Keep your luggage light and composed of only essential items.
Here is a list of things you must carry along for your stay at IIT Dharwad-
- Umbrella, Raincoat and Windcheaters. The climate is rainy during monsoons, and chilly by the end of first semester. So you should pack these items, along with appropriate clothes for hot, rainy and cold weather.
- Pack your sports shoes, sandals and a pair of slippers.
- Freshers have NSO as a course, so pack the shoes and necessary accessories for the sport of your interest. You may also buy them online after reaching the campus.
- Pack some stationary like a few notebooks, stapler-pins, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, pens, folders, etc. Pack a scientific calculator as well.
- Bring detergent, ropes and pins for your laundry. The hostel provides washing machines. You’ll have to dry the laundry inside your room.
- Bring pillow covers, bedsheets and a blanket. You’ll get a pillow and a mattress from the campus itself.
- Pack your toiletries. Also bring along a bucket and mug.
- Bring Odomos or All Out, even though there aren’t many mosquitoes.
- Bring your personal Laptop, it will be of great use. Also bring earphones/headphones.
- Bring along an extension board and a good quality Power Bank. Each bed has a single switch board, so an extension board will be very useful to charge multiple devices.
- Bring homemade snacks with you.
- You can get a bicycle to move in and around the campus or purchase one from the campus for Rs. 5000-10,000.
- You can purchase a table fan from Dharwad itself, for hotter days.
These are the necessary items for a smooth stay at IIT Dharwad. You can make additions to this list according to personal preference.
Which should I prefer, IIT Dharwad CSE or IIIT Gwalior 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.
Is IIT Dharwad good?
The simple answer is No.
An ‘IIT’ tag is not enough to make a college great. It takes a long time to become a brand. The 7 old IITs didn’t become a brand overnight. This happened decades later, after their work gained recognition.
The term IIT generally recalls the 7 old ones, both inside and outside of India. 3rd Gen IITs will first have to reach the level of 2nd Gen IITs, which are themselves struggling to attain credibility. Over here, credibility means brand value and recognition.
Thus, IIT Dharwad is not that good. It was established very recently, so it’ll take a long time to become a reputed IIT.
What order should I give in my preference list for IIT Goa, IIT Jammu, IIT Dharwad, IIT Tirupati, IIT Palakkad and IIT Bhilai??
IIT Tirupati and Palakkad were established in 2015, while the others were set up in 2016. Thus, these two colleges have developed better infrastructure for freshers.
The transit campus of IIT Tirupati consists of hostels and academic buildings, along with other facilities. IIT Palakkad has also completed its transit campus. IIT Tirupati is located close to Tirupati town, but IIT Palakkad is in the countryside. Moreover, Tirupati is just 3 hours away from Chennai, if one travels by bus. The transit campus of other institutions will take longer to build, because their plots were finalized only recently.
IIT Tirupati and Palakkad are better options than the others. Next, IIT Dharwad and IIT Goa are better options in locational terms. But IIT Goa witnessed some violent incidents on the campus a few years back. This makes IIT Dharwad a better option.
I would recommend you keep IIT Jammu as the last option because of its location. So, the preference list goes as- IIT Tirupati > IIT Palakkad > IIT Dharwad> IIT Goa= IIT Bhilai> IIT Jammu.
What are some reviews on IIT Bhilai, IIT Goa, IIT Dharwad, and IIT Tirupati?
I am a student of one of these new IITs- IIT Goa, which was established in 2016. IIT Goa is an Institute of National Importance, and is mentored by IIT Bombay. IITB supports the institution in every manner, be it for academics or infrastructure.

The college is under constant development and improvement, both academically and infrastructurally. IIT Goa is a good college with a lot of potential. You can ask some seniors from IIT Tirupati, IIT Bhilai and IIT Dharwad about their respective colleges.
What can you tell me about the food, weather and language issues in IIT Tirupati and nearby?
Tirupati is the site of the famous Tirumala Balaji Temple. So Tirupati is a tourist attraction, and a developed area. I can completely understand your concerns regarding the food, weather and language in and around IIT Tirupati.
I can enlighten you about the mess food of IIT Tirupati. It is an amalgamation of North and South Indian dishes. The menu generally consists of Dal, Sambar, Cury, Curd, Salad and Rice. Mess food can’t be compared to homemade food, but it is decent enough and comparable to the mess food at other IITs.
The weather of Tirupati is extremely hot from April to May, with temperatures around 41-43 degrees. But these are the months of college vacation, so you need not worry. The monsoons take place between July- September end, and the winters are quite warm and comfortable. The place is quite liveable.
The common language of Tirupati is Telugu, but as it is a famous tourist attraction, the local vendors and autowalas know good-enough Hindi. Inside the campus, English is the commonly spoken language by professors and students. Language usually won’t be a problem in and around the campus.
