ISM Dhanbad Review

The placement percentage is quite high as in most of the IITs. Around 80% of the students in B.Tech programmes get placed. Placement percentage of the branches like mining engineering and computer science is 90% whereas the civil department lacks a bit regarding placements.

Course is updated yearly. Its well designed. Its a 4 year course where 1 year is common and than after curriculum changes as per branch. Course is divided into 8 semesters having 2 semesters in 1 year.

Placement and job opportunities are quite good. It can increase for sure. It has much potential to increase. Not even close to old iits but better than most nits. Yes college provide internships. Stipend can be as much as 1 lakh per month to zero.

activities include the student-published bi-annual campus newspaper Mailer Daemon, the annual inter-college cultural festival Srijan, the annual techno-management fest Concetto, the annual sports fest Parakram and the Spring Fest Basant.

It's a mixture of exceptional faculty and very below grade professors who are not suitable for schools too. Some are very well versed with what they teach and very helpful and on the other side some are abysmal.
