Great ROI with a few drawbacks

The course consists of 4 semesters in which each semester consists of at least 2 lab subjects of 2 and 3 credits each and the subjects are taught by professors who have completed their Ph.D. in some of the top institutes such as IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, and IIT Kanpur. The student-to-faculty ratio is set at a healthy 6:1. A mid-term and an end-term exam is conducted every semester and with enough preparation, it's not difficult to get decent grades.

The placements begin from 3rd semester onwards and several companies visited the campus though the placement is not 100%. The highest package for the 2023 batch was 22 lakh rupees for the MBA core program and the average was around 11 lakh rupees. Most of the placements occurred in MBA Marketing for sales managers, product managers, etc.

Currently, there's no separate financial assistance provided for any students as of now though loans are easily available during the registration process by SBI who set up their stall in the New Lecture Hall complex where registrations are conducted. The fee hike can be seen in mess fees, though no such hikes were seen in the course fees. It's one of the most affordable MBAs out there with fees below 4.5 lakh rupees hence most of the students studying here don't require financial assistance separately.

We have a few clubs such as Consulting Club, Analytics Club, Cultural club, and Igniter's Club for case competitions. These clubs will help you occupy the time on campus after you're done with the classes. Classes will mostly be conducted in the Department of Management Studies building. The institute holds the largest library in India that contains ample seating space and several books as well as journals for us to access. There's also State of an art Student's Activity Center for club meetings and sports activity which is great for physical activity. A swimming pool is also available for students who are interested in swimming.

To be eligible to apply for an MBA course in IIT(ISM) Dhanbad, it's important to have mathematics as one of your subjects in your graduation stream. The application form can be found on the official website of the Department of Management Studies official website once the application is out. The announcement for the same is made on the Pagalguy website by the admission committee. Though during the online interview process, no timeline was given and we had to wait for 1-1.5 hr for the interview to begin so the interview could've been conducted smoothly. The process was great and the admission committee helped us throughout the process.
