Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering) From IIT Dharwad, Dharwad

All the new IITs are almost similar in terms of education, opportunities, placements, and crowd. So the most crucial factor is the location. That being said, among the aforementioned IITs, choose the one that aligns with your preferences regarding proximity to home.

Nevertheless, IIT Dhanbad is a better option and there are numerous reasons to claim so. 

• It’s the best location for CSE students as it’s well-connected to many IT hubs in the country.
• It has better placement and internship opportunities as it’s close to metropolitan cities like Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc
• The campus is bigger and more equipped with modern facilities.
• The campus ambiance as well as the overall climate of the city makes the learning experience great.

Ultimately, it’s best to choose one after weighing all your options!
