Honest review of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.
Placements: Around 85 to 90 percent of students get placed almost every year. The highest package is 59β€―LPA, and the average is 24β€―LPA. Recruiting companies include Google, Zomato, and Blinkit. 50 out of 140 students got internships last year at companies such as Cisco, Google, and Microsoft. Roles offered include web developer, data scientist, app developer, software engineer, etc.
Infrastructure: Campus Wi‑Fi is available free of cost and for unlimited use. Labs are equipped with computers, although some systems are old. Classrooms are air-conditioned and very spacious. The best thing about our college is its 7‑storey library containing thousands of books, with ample sitting areas and a cafeteria. Hostels are small. The mess/food is the greatest downside. Currently, our sports grounds are under renovation, so sports aren’t active lately.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, with all being Ph.D. holders. Some have advanced qualifications. Teaching quality is satisfactory. The course curriculum makes students industry‑ready. Semester exams are not very difficult, and most students get around 95%.
Other: I chose this course because it is Computer Science from an IIT, which is the best thing about it. I think they could reduce some theory classes and replace them with practical or lab classes. There are three major events/fests organised at our IIT, not including sports fests and sports meets.

Great college with top faculty, strong labs, good facilities, and excellent placements.
Placements: As I know, out of 137 students in CSE, 122 are placed, and the average LPA was 27.5. The highest was 65 LPA, and the lowest was 6 LPA. Top companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, along with other top companies, are coming for recruitment. Top roles like SD and other roles were offered at my college.
Infrastructure: As I was studying at IIT, the food quality was good, but as I was from the South, I did suffer; mostly people from the South will suffer. Wi-Fi is 24/7 available in the hostel, college, and library. Classrooms have digital boards and are provided with projectors, and everything is facilitated with air conditioning.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. As I was studying CSE, the course was a little bit hard to study for the semester, as the exam papers tend to be difficult. When it comes to the pass percentage, almost everyone will pass. It's hard to score the highest marks in a semester, but it's okay to pass the semester.
Other: I’m doing CSE at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, from the 2024-2028 batch. I chose this course because I enjoy teaching and wanted strong career opportunities. The peer group, coding culture, and project exposure are the best parts. A few subjects could be more updated, and the workload can get heavy at times. Campus life is lively with fests like Srijan and Concetto, good connectivity, and plenty of clubs and activities, so overall the experience is positive.

Great opportunities, mixed hostel vibes, but worth it for the IIT tag.
Placements: I graduated from the Environmental Engineering batch of 2K21-25, and honestly, placements are pretty solid. Around 85-90% of students in my course got placed. The highest package was 45 LPA, while the average was around 15-18 LPA, depending on the branch. Top recruiters included big names like Google, Microsoft, Schlumberger, Tata Steel, and ONGC. Roles varied from Software Developer, Data Analyst, Mining Engineer, to Petroleum Engineer, so there is something for everyone. The placement cell is quite supportive. Many students convert their internships into PPOs.
Infrastructure: I am part of the 2K21-25 batch, and overall, the infrastructure is decent. Classrooms are well-maintained, Wi-Fi is available but patchy at times, and labs have the necessary equipment, though some need upgrades. The library is huge. Hostel life was manageable. Rooms were okay, but not luxurious. Mess food is hit or miss. Some days are edible, some days are emotional damage. The canteen has better options, and the sports facilities are actually good. Medical facilities are available, but basic. Overall, the infrastructure is good, and it's the IIT guys.
Faculty: All faculty profs are super helpful and know their stuff. Teaching quality varies, but if you show interest, most teachers respond well. The curriculum is mostly relevant, especially for core subjects. It does help in placements and internships. Exams are conducted on time. The pass percentage is decent. If you study regularly, you're good. No last-minute surprises, but, some papers are tricky. Overall, the academic vibe is serious but not suffocating.
Other: I chose Environmental Engineering because I am genuinely interested in the field, and IIT ISM has a strong reputation for it. Things that could improve are faster curriculum updates. Events like Srijan and Concetto are major highlights. The crowd is competitive but friendly. There's a good mix of extracurriculars, from coding clubs to dance groups. Scholarships are available for eligible students, and the surroundings are peaceful, though not super urban.

Decent college, but with some fundamental problems.
Placements: The placements have always been decent at IITISM Dhanbad. The good part about IIT Dhanbad is that even the supposedly "lower' branches also score decent packages like petroleum engineering, mining. Environmental engineering. Petroleum engineering, in particular, has had a decent history of placement since all major oil and petro companies like ONGC come here to recruit. Recently, even bigger companies are taking an interest in recruiting from IITISM, which promises a hopeful placement journey for the future.
Infrastructure: Our mechanical department is the richest in the entire college. We have a lot of machines and lab equipment. We have the Institute Research Hub (iRh) and the innovation centre i2H and NVCTI. They have world-class infrastructure. However, I have only given three stars for the infrastructure, which is because of the hostel. The food is okay, we get paneer and non-veg 3 times a week, and the taste is okay. The internet speed is only 50 Mbps most of the time, and the rooms are small and don't even have two desks, although two people live in one room.
Faculty: Most of the teachers, almost all of them, are very well qualified with their post-graduation studies done from abroad or top institutions. Now, the helpfulness of the teacher tends to be a hit or a miss, but I have found that the odds of you getting a bad teacher are low-ish, at least for the first year, when we have common courses. The course is relevant, but you will still need to do things on your own to make sure you are not missing out on skills that the industry requires. The academics are a bit on the tougher side.
Other: I took this college since it is near my home and I can often come to meet my family. Mechanical engineering is a decent branch that gives you the option to appear for the IES exam down the road. The hostel rooms need a change. We were allotted Jasper hostel, and the worst problem I face is that there's only one desk space, so if you're using the desk, your roommate has to study on their bed. This year's final year also has double sharing, which is very sad because you'll never get personal space in your uni life here.

Extremely happy seeing my dream of becoming an IITan come true.
Placements: The data on the placements here is good compared to the other 2 IITs. Many of our seniors are placed in foreign countries this year, and some also got high packages in India. Placement in the Mechanical department is expected to become low this year, as everywhere.
Infrastructure: Hostel is good. We are getting several facilities with computer labs, a Library, and Many lecture halls for studying. The full campus is Wi-Fi covered, and internet LAN cables are also available everywhere. Inside the hostel, on every floor, a common room is also available for playing games, watching TV, and relaxing.
Faculty: Professors here are very good in terms of teaching and providing study material. They are also highly qualified in their subjects and very humble and kind in nature. They are always ready to help and solve doubts. They also help during exam sessions by taking practice question classes.
Other: There is always something happening in college that helps us to get involved and feel a social presence for it.
