The story of IIT (ISM) in a nutshell.

Placements: Placement is the only thing that you can get here. No other thiny will you learn from here. The problem mainly is the pattern to exam system and schedule of classes which creates a lot of pressure on a students mind. Anyhow in terms of placement it is one of the best college.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is somehow which you can rely on. But the thing is that only this thing is not enough to be a good college. Many more things are also required which this college lacks very badly. The open campus creates a lot of nuisance for the students due to invasion of outsiders.

Faculty: All the faculty are highly qualified but the vary of teaching of most of them is not catchy at all. Though few of the teachers are excellent. Course curriculum is also bad for M.Sc. Tech candidates as they require to know non departmental subject in almost every semester which is very hectic for a student pursuing Masters degree.

Other: One more drawback is the restricted entry of rented vehicles carrying luggage of the students after 9 pm. So if you are late you have to carry everything and walk from the main GATE.
