Which is better, ME at IIT Dharwad or IIT Tirupati?
Both these colleges have their own pros and cons.
Here are some important points for you to consider-
- The Andhra Pradesh government is taking initiatives to make Tirupati an educational hub. IIIT Tirupati and IISER Tirupati are located close to the IIT Tirupati campus. This makes up for a very rich environment.
But then, even IIT Dharwad is located close to Karnatak University, Karnatak College, University of Agricultural Sciences, SDMCET, and IIIT Dharwad is soon to be established nearby.
- IIT Tirupati has very lenient branch change rules. You can opt for branch change after the 1st semester itself. I don’t know about the branch change rules of IIT Dharwad.
- IIT Tirupati operates from its transit campus which is a part of its permanent campus. Though the permanent campus is under construction, the transit campus has all the infrastructural facilities.
- IIT Dharwad has been operating from its permanent campus since 12th March 2023. The campus was inaugurated by the Hon. Prime Minister himself.
- The closing rank of IIT Tirupati is the lowest among all 3rd gen IITs, so it houses quite competent students.
- Tirupati is a clean tourist spot, so in terms of location, IIT Tirupati clearly wins.
Based on these points, I would suggest you choose IIT Tirupati over IIT Dharwad. But you should first consult some seniors from the Mechanical department of both these colleges to know about the academics and faculty at each.
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 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.
You’ll have a good time at IIT Tirupati, irrespective of your cultural background.
