Syed Ateeb Shah's Review On ISM Dhanbad - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITISM], Dhanbad

I didn't apply to any other colleges. And neither I was admitted through any quotas as I come under General Category. To get admission into my college (IIT ISM DHANBAD), you have to first clear the JEE MAINS exam held twice (4 times in 2021). Approximately 10 Lakh students sit for the JEE MAINS exam every year, out of which roughly 2.5 Lakh students clear it. After the JEE MAINS comes the JEE ADVANCED exam in which approximately 12,500 students out of the 2.5 Lakh MAINS pass out students are selected to get into the IITs. For the process of college allotment, you have to apply for JoSAA councelling which is a 6 rounds councelling program held after the JEE ADVANCED. Here you have to submit a preference order of the colleges you would like to join. Then the allotment is done taking into account the merit order if the masses and your preference order as well. I was allotted this college in the 6th round of JoSAA Councelling.

Honestly, I wanted to choose CSE but since my rank was not up to the marks for that course I then chose CIVIL ENGINEERING. I was also quite interested in this course as well. So, it came as an easy way out for the second option. The student to faculty ratio here is very nice, I am not sure of the actual number though. But still, it is adequate. They are well qualified and almost all of them hold a PhD in their respective Subjects. The exams here are also quite well. The level of difficulty varies per Subject. The overall report for the exam level can be stated as MEDIUM LEVEL.

Various companies visit the IIT ISM Dhanbad for internships which a satis7 stipend. Mostly the third-year students and get internship offers, and also the M.Tech and PhD students get various project offers as well.

Campus placements are held for the final year students every year by the placement cell of IIT ISM. Various companies offer jobs to the students. The percentage of placement varies as per the branch. The CSE branch has the highest placement percentage while the CIVIL branch has the lowest.

The fees of my course are2,30,000/- per annum. The college also provides lots of Scholarships for both boys and girls. Some even gender-specific. Financial assistance is indeed provided in this college which are Fee Waiver - Tuition fee waiver as per annual income, Free Ship - Complete deduction of the tuition fees, and also MCM - Monthly scholarship of 1000/- per month. This MCM scholarship is provided on a merit basis.

The annual fest conducted in this college is known as Srijan which is held for 3 days in the month of March every year. There are also various other Tech fests as well. Our college had many student-run clubs as well providing useful and recreational knowledge. Sports club for the sports keen. Art clubs for artistic lads as well. The social life here is blessed.

For the first-year students a twin bedroom with two seperate beds and tables is provided, and Almira for keeping the belongings. The menu of this college is also quite nice, with both veg and non-veg options. The food quality is also very good. Staying in hostels is compulsory for the students admitted in this college.
