Both IIT Tirupati and IIT Dharwad are a couple of the newer generation of IITs and haven’t been ranked by NIRF yet. Civil is a core branch and needs a lot of diligence to excel in the field because as compared to EE, opportunities are comparatively less in the present market.

Both these colleges are relatively new and hence are yet to make a mark and name under the brand of IITs. EE branch presents more opportunities and lucrative offers at present. Hence, it is up to the individual to make an informed choice and select a given course at a particular college.
