AJ
Arunabha Jha Posted On : April 22nd, 2021
B.Tech + M.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2020)

IIT Bhubaneswar is a new IIT and was established in the year 2008. On the other hand, IIT Dhanbad is an old IIT. Being an old IIT, the academic curriculum and academic flexibility are more functional at IIT Dhanbad than any other new IIT.

Many of my friends have passed out from IIT Dhanbad who were highly satisfied with their placement considering their JEE advance ranks. In the placement drive 2020, the highest package offered to the mechanical branch at IIT Dhanbad was INR 17 lakhs per annum. 

Changing your branch is comparatively easier at IIT Dhanbad. So, even if you are compromising on your branch of choice, you can get it altered to your choice once you join in.

To conclude, I would suggest you go for IIT Dhanbad.

How are the hostels at IIT Dhanbad?

RS
Rajat Nandkumar Shedshyal Posted On : May 11th, 2025

It is compulsory in my college, that you stay in hostel but under certain conditons you are allowed to live outside in PG. The registration process is very easy and smooth, you just go tell your name show ur ID and they provide you with your room key. Free food for all parents. I have stayed in Amber, it is not that spacious but enough so that you can fit 2 beds and stand in the middle, a bit congested. You get one cupboard, one window and one attached table. Toilets and bathroom are cleaned regulary and have been rebuilt and repainted recently.
