Honest review of IIT Dhanbad in 3 months.

The curriculum is does not exactly make u ready for real world applications. There is vast room for improvement. It seems very outdated and new technology have not yet been implemented in syllabus. They could make the curriculum so that it makes us industry ready. The frequency and timing of exams are good. But the quality of the exams of some subjects are not good, they are not a good standard of evaluation of students knowledge.

Interniships are provided by the college after entering 3rd year. Most people with more than 8CGPA and good skills can get PAID internships from well reputed companies. However since, i am currently only in first year, i do not know much about the companies which are recruiting.

The campus placements in my college are pretty good. Even if you are not placed in campus placements, it is not that hard to get a job outside of campus placements. All this is keeping in mind that the CGPA is above 8, and the person has good knowledge. Placement percentage is above 75 on average. Highest package in electrical is around 45 lakhs whereas average package is 19 lakhs. My plans after getting degree is to start a robotics company.

2 lakhs is the fees paid per year for students of first year. Scholarships are available for students who have family income less than 5 lakhs. General, OBC category students dont have any fees waiver. Whereas SC/ST students have fees waiver. There is no such extra fees taken as development fees, lab fees or other compulsory charges. There is only tuition fees (2 lakhs/year ) and hostel fees (80k/ year)

Campus life is really good. A lot of places there for socializing with others. And the events conducted also promote socializing with others. There are a lot of clubs to join from, each club has its own recruitment process. There are both tech clubs and cultural clubs. They give significant impact on the person's skills. Cricket, football, hockey, tennis, badminton training is given in campus, with inductions and good coaches. The library here is really great environment to study and work. The collection of books is really great.

The host facility is pretty good. It is very affordable. Not so strict and give us good liberty. The quality of food is rather mediocre, and vast room for improvement is there. Good speed Wifi facility is available throughout hostel. And 600mbps lan connection is provided to each room. Paid good quality laundry services available.

The admission to this college is only through JOSAA. Which is on the basis of JEE ADVANCE ranking. I chose this college because it has a strong alumni and a good reputation. I preferred it over other colleges, because i was getting electrical engineering here. The top 7 iits are much better than this college. However they require a very good rank.

The faculty to student ratio is 1:140. The faculty dont maintain any relationship with the students, however most faculty are easily approachable to clear ur doubts or queries. Mr SP Tiwari was a very good maths teacher, most of the students understood what he is teaching. Whereas my electrical teacher Mr. Sounyabrata is not so good at teaching, all though he is very knowledgeable. His teaching style is not upto the mark. Most of the faculty are not so good.
