Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course curriculum is very much relevant to modern science and tech. the curriculum will change from department to department but courses such as cryptography, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, image processing, nanoscience and nanoparticles are thought to students.

Internships Opportunities

2.5

Internship opportunities to students are available to students on the onset of 3rd years. all major companies like google, Microsoft, amazon, Goldman Sachs , ZS Associates, pwc, DE shaw, TATA, JSW, Accenture, Atlassian, etc come on campus to provide opportunities. most of the interns are provided in tech and software domains. however the opportunites are very limited and only a few students will get it.

Fees and Financial Aid

tuition fees for 1 semester are 130000 so for a year it becomes 1,30,000*2 = 2,60,000 per annum hostel fees are 18,000 per semester, thus for an annum it is 18,000*2 = 36,000. caution fees are 5000. admission fees are also the seat accepting fees one will pay at the JOSSA site i.e. 35,000rs and is balanced in the first semester fees the student will pay. coming to scholarships, there are many from different private entities. the tuition fee is 0 for students from SC and ST backgrounds. additionally, students can get 1/3rd of 2/3rd fee relaxation as per their family income officially by the institute.

Campus Life

4

Their are tons of clubs at iit ism Dhanbad ranging from music, dance, all sports clubs, dramatics, debating, literature, podcasts, street dancing, robotics, Computer tech clubs and many more. these clubs are official in nature and are supported by college through logistics and funding support. their are 3 whole building dedicated to clubs and student activities.

Hostel Facilities

3

The hostel facility is ok at IIT Dhanbad. there are 18 hostels and most of them are very old in nature with weak and old buildings, however, all basic facilities are provided which includes a healthy mess, high-speed unlimited wifi, and a student play arena within the hostel. their are some new hostels under construction which will be completed in the next 2 years to enhance student life. comparing the hostel fee of 18000 i can say the hostel facility is very much affordable and a value for money.

Admission

The admission in IITs is through the JOSSA counseling and JEE advanced ranks are used. I preferred IIT Dhanbad over other IITS because of its amazing placement, faculties, facilities, infrastructure, and very strong brand name of ISM and alumni support. At lower ranks i feel IIT Dhanbad is a great choice compared to other generation 2 or generation 3 iits in comparisn to above factors.

Faculty

3.5

The faculties at IIT ISM are amazing and wonderful, many are from some of the best institutes from around the world having PhDs and masters from some top global universities. the faculty and student ratio is almost 1:12 which is very good. faculties are active researchers in their domains and have helped many students across their life. they also have industrial connections and organize field/ industrial visits very often.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I am a diploma holder in civil engineering, I had to choose the same branch in B.Tech also. But actually I chose this college because my diploma friends were taking admission in the same college. The college needs some improvements, but the surrounding areas need more improvement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I will rate the course curriculum decent because it cover the basic engineering concepts that made me choose this course and it prepare us okay for real-world or higher study, but still more practical work and updated teaching method needed, and exams come mostly every semester with some internals which are moderate tough but manageable with regular study. There are some teachers who teach very well and have good teaching methods.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I feel the course curriculum is okay and the basics are covered well, which is one reason I choose this branch, but some subjects feel outdated and not fully connected to real industry work. It prepare us for further studies more than practical jobs. Exams come every semester with internals in between, difficulty is moderate but few papers become tricky. I think more practical topics, updated labs and better teaching methods will make the curriculum more useful...

Placement Experience:

One of my colleges best features is its placements program, which offers fantastic chances for students to launch their carrers. In the fifth and sixth semesters, students are prepared with aptitude training sessions, group discussions, and resume construction. About 85% of qualified pupils were placed during the previoes school year. Compared to core engieering fields, placements rates were marginally higher in IT branches.
