Review of IIT ISM DHANBAD

Basically the fees structure of the IIT ISM Dhanbad is 1 lakh per semester is tution fees for general and OBC category. But fir sc/st it is free . Mess fee will be there for every category students it will be around 18000 per semester. Now at time of admission they take 5000 one time payment that is refundable after completion of course . Hostel fees will be 1000 per semester. And for all other facilities like library , lab fees , hostel facilities and sports facilities and others are around 5000 per semester so the fess will be around 1.25 lakh per semester. Now for economically weaker peoples college provide tution fees waiver. If family salary is under 1 lakh per year they provide 100% fee waiver on tution fee . If family income is above 1 lakh but below 5 lakh they provide 66.7% tutuoon fee waiver . After all these if someone need financial support college provide MCM scholarship for those whose family income is below 6 lakh and having cgpa of 6 and above . Many more scholarship are there for economically weaker people so it is easy to study in this college for every people without the burden of fees.
