Best IIT for opting for core fields.

Faculty: Faculty are very well qualified and knowledgeable, as it should be in IITs. Every faculty is supporting students where they need guidance. Curriculum are much relevant to modern technology, and the application of theories is well executed in labs. Semester exams are not easy if you do not study from the start. Those who prepare earlier get passes easily. The numbers would be 90%.

My honest review about my college.

Faculty: The course is basically about mineral processing techniques and the engineering involved in those processes. It is under the Fuel and Mineral Engineering department, which has good lab and research facilities. The faculty members are very qualified in the past, but since the last 2 years, some good professors have left, creating a void.

My honest review of my college.

Faculty: It is a semester-based university. There is a credit-based education system, and it has a maximum of 10 credits. There are 75 marks for exams and the rest 25 marks are based on classroom performance, attendance, etc. Faculty members were very qualified in the past, but in the last 2 years, some good professors have left creating a void. The course is good but the focus is more on the theoretical aspects rather than practical. We have to take on our own initiative if we want to do something new a...

Review of IIT Dhanbad (ISM) - Indian Institute of Technology (ISM).

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and very knowledgeable. Teaching depends on the teacher though, some teach really great, some don't. That's the crux of every college to be honest. Curriculum is relevant as it's an IIT. Exams are fine.

IIT ISM Dhanbad College Review.

Faculty: The faculty is very qualified but not helpful. They do not provide the required knowledge to the students. The curriculum contains very old technologies, and the semester exams are not difficult. The situation is such that teachers do not cover the right portions and include different topics in the exams. The checking is not thorough, leading to difficulties for students during exams.

A glimpse of my life at IIT Dhanbad (ISM).

Faculty: Teachers are very friendly and teach us well. Their teaching style is a bit different as compared with others. About 14 weeks are allotted for a semester, which is enough to complete the syllabus and study. Some exams are very tough and some are a bit easy according to professors. The pass percentage is almost 90%.

Decent academics, good placements, & vibrant college life. At the end college with a strong culture.

Faculty: Most teachers are well-qualified and have a good understanding of the core subjects. Some professors are very helpful and approachable, but there are many whose teaching quality is not good or who are not good at delivering what they know. But they are full of knowledge if we ask them one-on-one questions.
