    I am satisfied with its placements in M.Tech CSE.
    Placements: Around 100% of students are placed. The highest salary package offered is 43.6 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 19 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Microsoft, Amazon, Mathworks, ICICI, Dell, and IBM. The internships are offered in the first year to 4 students by IBM and Goldman Sachs. The top roles offered are SDE 1, SDE 2, and risk analyst.
    Infrastructure: It provides a top-class hostel with a high-speed LAN port for every inmate plus the Wi-Fi is also enabled. High-speed internet on the campus is available. It provides laboratories and a canteen. The library has the best seating arrangement with centralised air-conditioner system. The quality of food is good, but the taste is average.
    Faculty: It has qualified teachers but not as expected teaching skills atleast in online mode. The courses are relevant to industry standards and updated, students will pass the exam if they give at least 2 hours a day to self-study.
    Other: The student activity center is there where every extracurricular activity is held like gym, table tennis, badminton, swimming, dance, etc.

    Faculty and infrastructure are good, but there is a lack of placements for the RF branch.
    Placements: For internships, Intel visited the college last year. Coaching institutions like Aakash, Rao IAS, etc., and companies like Qualcomm, Intel, etc., visited the college. If you are interested in higher studies, a lot of positions come for JRF since this branch gets a lot of government projects.
    Infrastructure: For M.Tech students, the hostel rooms are very small. The food provided is okay. Medical facilities are available 24 hours on weekdays, and the timings are different on Sundays. I have not been much into sports, but I know that almost all sports facilities are available.
    Faculty: The course curriculum is relevant since they teach from the very basic of microwave. It makes students industry-ready because you get to publish papers for which you will be doing research on recent topics and also the evolution of those topics.

    Review of IIT Dhanbad - Indian Institute of Technology (ISM).
    Placements: The placement session starts in December. Some core companies have come to campus, but mostly they were IT companies. M.Tech Thermal is also eligible in core IT companies for placements, but you must have sound knowledge of computer languages. Top recruiting companies this year are Vedanta, Phone Pe, and Adobe. Every year 20 to 40% of the students get placed from college.
    Infrastructure: The library is one of the best for any student and is fully air-conditioned, and Wi-Fi enabled. Classrooms are also well maintained with projectors and digital tech. Labs are also good, and some of the machinery is not in working condition as they are very old, but overall labs are in good working condition. Canteen and medical facility is also good and provided on the campus near to hostels.
    Faculty: All the teachers in our college are good, helpful, and qualified in their respective fields. Most of them are research paper holders and have very good knowledge. The teaching quality is good, and they take full classes and extra classes too to complete the syllabus if required. The course curriculum is well structured and very relevant.
    Other: Events held in IIT Dhanbad are huge. Extracurricular activities are like swimming club, gymkhana, and many more clubs.

    Placements: About 40% of the students got placed in this session. Placements in our branch are not so good since our branch is outdated. An internship is given to almost all the students. Placements in all other branches are very good except for a few branches.
    Infrastructure: Facilities provided to students are very good. Labs and classrooms are well maintained and the library of our college is the best place to study since it offers a very good atmosphere.

    Useless course in big brand.
    Placements: No placements at all. Don't even think of it. Few companies like Infosys visited the campus. Some engineering colleges also visit the campus for the position of professors. If you are looking for placement in core companies then this is not the place for you.
    Infrastructure: High-speed Wi-Fi, spacious classrooms, excellent medical facilities and good campus for sports and games. Two big grounds for sports i.e. upper ground and lower ground. Hostel rooms are very tiny. Two people living in single accommodation room. No air conditioning facility.
    Faculty: Some professors were knowledgeable and some were extremely waste of time. One particular community people dominate the total workforce of the university. No particular industry exposure. The only place where the students go for summer training is BCCL (CIL).
