Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Placement states are quite good in our college. 76.92% of students get placed out of 48 students which is quite good. The highest package offered for my course is 38 LPA and lowest is 6 LPA. The average package is around 13 LPA which is decent. Top recruiting companies are Reliance, Sun Petrochemicals, Chevron, etc. Internships are decent but it is hard to get an internship in my field, and some get into non-core. Top roles offered are process engineer, project engineer, product engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: Since it is an old college which is completing its centenary in 2026 so some old hostels are average but others are very good. Our college has the world's second-largest technical library, and 24-hour Wi-Fi is available. Classrooms are quite good and labs are conducted in a very strict way. All basic needs are available in our college. Ground, medical center, and canteen are available.

Faculty: Teachers are very friendly and they teach well. Their teaching style is bit different as compared with others. There are 14 weeks allotted for a semester, which is enough to complete syllabus and study. Exams are very tough and some are a bit easy, according to the professor. Pass percentage is almost 90%.

Other: I love chemical engineering that's why I have opted for this course. There is a scholarship for merit students at MCM which offers Rs 10000 for a student. There are three major fests that happen in a year namely Concetto (tech fest), Srijan (cultural fest), and Parakram (sports fest). Some minor fests namely Turbulence, Khanan, etc. Finally, college life is quite good.

Needs improvement in placement.

Placements: There are approximately 45-50 students in our branch. Placement day 1: 4 students were placed and day 2: 3 students were placed. We are yet to get the further data. We see a maximum CTC of 33.57 LPA from PhonePe for an SDE role. The lowest was 13.38 LPA and the average being somewhere around 15 LPA. The most students were recruited in Meesho for an analyst role.

Infrastructure: We have a proper amount of labs and lab equipment. Wi-Fi is not accessible in classes, but it is accessible in labs, libraries, etc. The hostel has good accommodation (it is comfortable), and the facilities are also good. The mess food is sometimes not good, but still manageable. The Chemical Engineering department is located in NAC 4th floor; it is spacious and has enough facilities.

Faculty: Yes, the teachers are helpful. They are really experienced and have studied at good universities, so you get mentorship for higher studies too. The course curriculum makes students industry-ready. The semester exams are comparatively easier than upper branches like CSE and ECE, etc. But still, it requires good effort to score well. Teachers usually do not fail unless you have done really poorly.

Other: I chose this course because I was getting lower branches in all IITs. Chemical Engineering is comparatively easier, so I will get enough time to pursue my interest in Computer Science. But even if someone wants to pursue higher studies, I would recommend this branch. I want the placement stats to improve. The campus life is very good, and I am satisfied with it.

The best college for the petroleum department and average for others.

Placements: I am in the chemical engineering department. The average salary package offered in our department is not very good, but it is okay. Our course contains a vast amount of scope which it covers. It nearly covers all fields so it is important. In our course, the highest salary package offered is above 56 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is above average. All facilities in our college are above average. It has one of the largest libraries in India which contains 7 floors which is more for students. The mess food is average. It is not very good but not so bad.

Faculty: Here is relative marking, so there is no pass percentage. Relative marking is so good for students because they only have to complete with their classmates, not for a minimum mark. The course curriculum is relevant for us and makes us ready for the industry in which we will be placed.

Other: All things are awesome.

I can say that college is quite good enough, will give ample of opportunities to you.

Placements: The placements are quite good enough for a freshers graduation in current scenario. You can expect packages of crore but it is very limited. Yes, if you work upon your skills and maintain a minimum CGPA, the placement is almost guaranteed. Also the internship opportunities are also vast here.

Infrastructure: Considering the food quality, it's is just lika as good as to eat not something which you will gave for, also hygiene and sanitation is the issue for now. Wi-Fi facilities are decent enough, but you can't expect to be much good. Library is very fast and is the core attraction of whole campus with immense number of books.

Faculty: Talking about the faculty, they are highly qualified enough, most of them have done their Ph.D. from some top IITs or any other big foreign universities. The branch wise curriculum is old standard one, and is only relevant to those who actually lovers the subject to read.

Other: No.

Hello Anshul, Even though, recognition as IIT came quite late, earlier version of ISM was indeed having great academic reputation. Hence, I feel that you should have no hesitancy in joining chemical engineering in this IIT.
