FROM THE DIRECTOR Prof. P. Seshu
Director
IIT Dharwad

The IITs are synonymous with excellence in our country and

are home to some of the finest technical minds from across the
nation. We, at the Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad
strive to nurture India's leading minds by providing our
students with an environment conducive to both creativity
and curiosity. IIT Dharwad started in 2016 with 120 students
in its B.Tech. program in three disciplines (CSE, EE and ME),
and has now grown to house students of B.Tech, MS (three
disciplines) and Ph.D. (8 disciplines). We provide each of our
students with state of the art equipment and resources, to aid
them with our challenging hands-on approach to learning, and
to enable them to pursue a wide range of projects. Students
are also strongly encouraged to participate in a plethora of
cultural and sports activities to strengthen their individuality,
build character, and team spirit. Our faculty comprises of both
visiting professors from other IITs and permanent faculty of
IIT Dharwad ensuring the finest teachers trained from the
most reputed Institutes globally, to guide the students.

It gives me immense pleasure to extend a hearty welcome to

your esteemed organization for placement of our final year
students and internships for pre-final year students. I look
forward to seeing your organization here this placement
season. You may also be excited to learn about our Co-op
program which permits our students to be associated with the
industry while still studying in IIT Dharwad. I assure you that
our students will add value to your organization, and armed
with both, theoretical as well as practical knowledge grow to
be the visionary leaders of tomorrow.

01
 FROM THE DEANS
IIT Dharwad’s course structure is designed to incorporate a
more hands-on approach with the intention to provide
students the necessary skills required to contribute to the
practical world of engineering. Most courses include
“Course Projects” which the students conceive and are then
guided by our knowledgeable faculty. Our capable and
enthusiastic students contribute to their peers’ learning,
acting as Teaching Assistants, and even writing manuals for
Prof. S.V. Prabhu
new courses or making changes to pre-existing ones. As an
Dean of Academic
infant IIT, students form committees to improve their
Programmes
academic productivity and “college experience”. Thus,
IIT Dharwad
collectively working through their strengths, covering their
peers’ weaknesses, and turning them into strengths. I look
forward to your participation hoping that your visit shall
begin a promising and an everlasting relationship between
the Institute and your organization.

The Research and Development (R&D) section of IIT

Dharwad is actively working towards bringing up a vibrant
research and development culture. These include
coordinating with funding agencies in securing sponsored
projects, consultancy projects and offering specialized
in-house courses for industry personnel. Industry academia
linkage is being established by conducting Development of
Industry and Academia Linkage (DIAL) days. Within a short
Prof. Mahadeva span of time, our young and dynamic faculty members have
Prasanna secured several funded projects worth 6 cr. The R&D
Dean of Research & section is also coordinating with reputed universities and
Development industries, India and abroad for collaboration. Already
IIT Dharwad many MoUs have been signed with many organizations and
the collaboration has started.

 Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad (IIT Dharwad),
ABOUT IIT DHARWAD established in 2016 as an autonomous institute of national
importance in Science and Technology by the Ministry of
Education, Government of India, aims to produce experts of
fundamentals who will reach the pinnacle of whichever
field they journey into.

Presently the institute offers UG and MS program in

computer science and engineering, electrical engineering
and mechanical engineering. Doctoral programs are also
offered in various fields. The institute believes that
knowledge liberates and hence provides an environment
which helps students gain knowledge of a variety of fields.
The institute thus, promotes a plethora of extra-curricular
programs and sports activities which provide the students
with the skills to achieve professional competence.

In order to provide guidance and invaluable support to the

student community, both academically and
non-academically and facilitate them with academic,
personal and social growth, IIT Dharwad has in place a
student mentorship programme. It acts as a bridge
connecting the freshmen and seniors, enabling mutual
development and holistic learning.

The institute believes that not just mere knowledge but

also suitable application is what builds achievers, and thus
the institute lays emphasis on research and
entrepreneurship and motivates the the students to
recognize their true potential and become industry ready.

 ACADEMIC
programmes
The academic programmes of IIT Dharwad take the initiative to nurture and provide a holistic
environment to facilitate the growth of its students. IIT Dharwad being a mentee of IIT Bombay follows
its mentor’s academic curriculum. We have an academic program that provides a myriad of
opportunities that ensures its students are technically proficient, dexterous entrepreneurs, astute,
and highly skillful to be pioneers at whichever field they wish to venture into. IIT Dharwad offers
B.Tech., M.S., and Ph.D. programmes in the following three streams of engineering.

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

This department has existed since the inception of IIT Dharwad. Since the
institute lays emphasis on learning by doing, there is an adequate number of
lab courses to provide hands on experience to the students. The curriculum
consists of a unique blend of courses covering fundamentals in computer
science along with advanced topics aligned with distinct research areas of
our faculty. Our faculty research broadly includes, theory (logic, graph
theory), systems (computer architecture, computer networks, parallel
programming), intelligent systems (ML and AI) and in interdisciplinary
areas such as cyber physical systems, smart grids, which involve a wide
range of problems related to data science, machine learning, distributed
processing, security, etc

Department of Electrical Engineering

This department emphasises primarily on the fundamentals of building
physical devices and exploring the mathematical aspects of EE. With faculty
from multifarious research backgrounds, the department is an incubator
for multi-disciplinary research allied with computer science, applied
physics, biotechnology, chemistry and computation. The faculty members
are actively working and collaborating with numerous industries and
academic institutions worldwide in the areas of next generation wireless
communication such as IoT, 5G and beyond, communication networks,
performance modeling, resource allocation, sensors, circuits and devices,
control engineering, machine learning and deep neural networks, signal
processing, power systems and power electronics.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

The department’s curriculum is an assemblage of core mechanical
engineering, basic sciences and interdisciplinary courses backed by an array
of hands-on laboratory courses. The curriculum is well tailored to fit the
requirements of industry 4.0 and to promote practice-oriented learning
along with conceptual understanding. The faculty of the Department come
from a wide-ranging academic background and work on an expansive list of
core and interdisciplinary research areas as well as local problems such as
energy technologies for sustainable environment, healthcare and
agricultural technologies, and other key needs of the nation.
