The campus has a classic environment, well-trained faculty, and good placements every year.
Placements: Around 84 percent of students get placed. The highest package offered is 58 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 15 LPA. The average package offered is 24 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Tata, Microsoft, etc., hire students. Around 60-70 percent of students get internships in companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Roles like data analyst, operating system, ML engineers, and information security-related engineers are offered.
Infrastructure: All facilities are good in terms of academics, like labs, Wi-Fi, classrooms, and branchwise departments. The campus environment is very nice, with lots of trees. It has a pollution-free campus, as most vehicles run on electricity. Hostels are also nice. We get both good non-vegetarian and vegetarian food. Sports and games are excellent here. All required courts are available here. We also have a student activity centre where we play indoor games.
Faculty: Teachers are well-trained. Their tactics in designing exam papers are really awesome. Teaching is also good. They use the digital projector for displaying slides. They also use the smart board to explain. They will also update the course based on time and current situation to make students ready to face the competition in the industrial world with updated skills, somehow we learn them at least by clubs. The pass percentage is about 90-95 percent.
Other: In view of the present and future situation and the job market, in society, software engineers occupy major roles in development, so I chose the Computer Science and Engineering course. I think that some skills should not be taught through clubs, but should be a mandatory skill to learn by everyone through the curriculum. It is better to implement this in the present curriculum (presentation and communication skills). Events, fests and extracurricular activities organised are also good here as they are governed by students and funded by the campus and other local companies.

Great college with top faculty, strong labs, good facilities, and excellent placements.
Placements: As I know, out of 137 students in CSE, 122 are placed, and the average LPA was 27.5. The highest was 65 LPA, and the lowest was 6 LPA. Top companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, along with other top companies, are coming for recruitment. Top roles like SD and other roles were offered at my college.
Infrastructure: As I was studying at IIT, the food quality was good, but as I was from the South, I did suffer; mostly people from the South will suffer. Wi-Fi is 24/7 available in the hostel, college, and library. Classrooms have digital boards and are provided with projectors, and everything is facilitated with air conditioning.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. As I was studying CSE, the course was a little bit hard to study for the semester, as the exam papers tend to be difficult. When it comes to the pass percentage, almost everyone will pass. It's hard to score the highest marks in a semester, but it's okay to pass the semester.
Other: I’m doing CSE at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, from the 2024-2028 batch. I chose this course because I enjoy teaching and wanted strong career opportunities. The peer group, coding culture, and project exposure are the best parts. A few subjects could be more updated, and the workload can get heavy at times. Campus life is lively with fests like Srijan and Concetto, good connectivity, and plenty of clubs and activities, so overall the experience is positive.
