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.

Infrastructure: In the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad, there is a huge library and I2H building, which has great infrastructure. The department building has below average infrastructure, and the Heritage Building has average infrastructure. Wi-Fi speed is low at the hostel, medical facilities are good, but the mess food is poor. Sports and games are too good.

Faculty: Yes, teachers are very helpful and Ph.D. qualified from respected institutes like IIST Bengaluru, MNIT Allahabad, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. Some are research scholars from Japan. They are knowledgeable, teaching quality is good above average, but delivery quality is average.

Other: This course is based on the environment. I chose this course because of my rank, but it is good. The best thing is that it focuses on environmental aspects, the numerical part is better, but I want to remove the extra theory part. Concetto, Srijan, are fests of ISM.

5Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Best IIT for opting for core fields.

Placements: The placement of my branch is best among others because this college is mainly known for Mining of petroleum and Metallurgy as well as material engineering. Almost 90% students are placed every year with an average package of 12 LPA that goes to 34 LPA. Companies that come for this branch are mostly PSUs like Bharat Petroleum, ONGC, Indian Oil, and many more. Internships are offered to 80% students. They hire for a System Engineer and a manager role.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my branch is average, not good like other IITs. Basic classrooms without a projector, Wi-Fi enabled campus, but with low speed. The library of this college is very big and has a large number of books. Hostel facilities are average, the canteen and mess food are not good in taste, but you can manage it. Medical and sports facilities are good, and students get opportunities to show their talent.

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%.

Great Infra, Poor Faculty, Average Placements.

Placements: In my course year 2024 for seniors, 63% were placed, but in the 2025 year, 30% of students have been placed till now. The highest package is 14 LPA, and the average is 5 LPA. Recruiting companies are Vedanta, Tata Steel, GMDC, Orica, etc. The internship percentage in my course is 10%.

Infrastructure: The heritage building for my department is very old, approximately 100 years old. Classrooms have projectors and boards available, but Wi-Fi is not available. My hostel quality is good, but the mess food taste is not good. Medical facilities are also poor, but sports and games are good.

Faculty: Teaching quality is good, but they do not provide practical knowledge. This course curriculum includes excursions. The college exam level is average. There is no passing percentage; there is relative marking. Percentages are not decided; it depends on the relative performance.

Other: IIT Dhanbad is famous for mining; that's why I chose this course. Events include Khanan for mining, Srijan is the cultural fest, and Concetto is the technical fest. There are also clubs for extracurricular activities like WTC, LITM, LITC, Mic Drop, etc. I want to improve the placement percentage in my course because companies are not coming due to a lack of mining knowledge, and companies are not hiring students. I want faculty improvement. There are also scholarship opportunities like the National Scholarship Portal, etc.
