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%.

B.Tech. in Petroleum Engineering - Batch of 2025

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

My honest review about my college.

Placements: The placements used to be top-notch 2-3 years back. But with the increase of seats and slowdown in the mining sector, the job opportunities were not as good as before. Many reputed companies like KPMG, TATA Steel, PWC, Tata Consultant Engineers, Tega Industries, and Aditya Birla recruited through this branch. The maximum pay is 10 LPA, with an average around 4.5 LPA. I got selected for RINL Visakhapatnam for an internship. It was a non-stipend internship. Tata Steel also came for internships, and they eventually offered PPOs to some of the selected ones.

Infrastructure: There are 6 hostels for males and 2 for females. All the hostels are good, but I love Diamond Hostel because of the heritage it has. The rooms are spacious, and you need to share the room with one person. The hostel fees are included in your semester registration. The course curriculum is pretty good. It is well-structured and helps the students in getting a better understanding of the entire field.

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.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2023

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Being an IIT, the college has a full potential for placements. There is a nice exposure to MBA students for working in the core companies. There are many companies to work with. I did my summer internship at Turtle, India, and my winter internship at Coal India Limited. Both online with the HR course.

Infrastructure: There are 6 hostels for males and 2 for females. All hostels are good but I love Diamond Hostel because of the heritage it has. Rooms are spacious and we need to share the room with one person. The hostel fee is included in our semester registration.

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 and convenience the department once. If they are convinced, they will stand behind us to give their full support. The course curriculum is a bit outdated but professors bring lots of new topics for discussion. Pedagogy is also a bit outdated considering the fact that lots of other MBA institutes have innovative styles of teaching. Some courses are offered on a specific campus.

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

Placements: Usually, placements begin during starting of December. There are lots of companies that come for placements. Highly paid companies like Citibank, Barclays, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are on the list. They will be coming at the beginning to filter out the cream layer. There are companies like ICICI, Wipro, TCS, and Infosys, which come at the end to recruit students in bulk. There are core companies like Tejas Network, Sterlite, Tata Motors, etc visit our college to recruit the core students. The average package is between 8 LPA to 12 LPA, and the highest package offer is about 60 LPA.

Infrastructure: The course curriculum is very exhaustive, and students are always in the midst of things. Recently, our curriculum was reviewed, and my juniors have a completely new curriculum and courses. All the important and relevant courses are covered in this institute. The facilities in the hostel were good. We are provided with many activities there. There was a big TV room, table tennis, computer room, fine arts room, badminton court, and basketball court in each hostel. The mess food quality was good, and hygiene was well maintained by the college; that's the main thing I like about the hostel.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Everyone has done a Ph.D. and is doing a lot of national and international projects in their respective fields. They are also well-experienced in their fields and give their best to bring the best out of the students. They have also written many research papers and published them in top-class journals. Most of the lecturers also have industry experience. Exams are being conducted with ease and dedication. Labs are well structured and well maintained by the end of the day, and one feels relaxed.
