The admission process for the MBA program at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad includes a Written Ability Test (WAT) and a rigorous Personal Interview (PI), replacing the previous Group Discussion (GD). The PI is conducted by professors specializing in finance, HR, operations, and marketing to evaluate candidates' motivations, understanding of ROI, and managerial aptitude. Scholarships are available, including the NCM scholarship for families with an income below 4-5 lakh rupees, covering the entire fee, paid by the Jharkhand government.
The standard fee for general candidates is 1,13,000 rupees per semester, totaling approximately 4 lakh rupees for the entire course. Reserved category candidates pay around 20,000 rupees per semester, totaling 1 lakh rupees for the course. During COVID, fees were reduced to approximately 3.8 lakhs for a particular batch. Placement opportunities have improved, with an average package of INR 11 lakh per annum and a highest package of INR 22 lakh.
The lowest package recorded was INR 7 lakh. Internships offer stipends up to INR 35,000 per month. Placements begin in the third semester, with a range of companies visiting, although the placement rate isn't 100%. MBA graduates with technical backgrounds can apply for technical roles, and the college does not mandate participation in placements, allowing flexibility. There's no separate financial assistance, but loans are available through SBI during registration, which occurs in the New Lecture Hall complex.
The MBA program is affordable, with total fees below 4.5 lakh rupees, minimizing the need for additional financial assistance.
