IIT Dhanbad B.Tech + M.Tech Applied Geophysics: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to this college is through the JEE Mains and JEE Advanced exams, with seat allocation managed by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) based on rank. Students face communication challenges due to a predominantly South Indian faculty but use self-study materials to compensate. Tuition is 1 lakh per semester, and the mess fee is 15,000 per semester, totaling 2.5 lakh annually. SC/ST students are exempt from tuition, and students with a parental income below 5 lakh receive a 66% fee waiver.

Placement opportunities are robust, with over 100 companies visiting the campus. BTECH students start placements in the 7th semester and integrated MTECH students in the 9th semester. Salaries range from a minimum of 6 lakh INR to a high of 90 lakh INR, with an exceptional 1 crore INR offer from the Mathematics and Computing department. The average salary is 14 lakh INR. Strong alumni networks and ties with universities like Stanford enhance job prospects.

Internships are available from the first summer break but require strong skills. While not all branches assure 100% placement, computer science and coding fields perform better. Pre-placement offers and stipends vary based on skill and workload. Scholarships and fee waivers are offered based on income and caste criteria, with a 100% waiver for families earning below 1 lakh and a 66.66% waiver for those under 5 lakh. SC/ST students also receive a full waiver.

Various scholarships, like MCM and ISMANA, are available, and the SBI campus branch provides student loans with low interest rates. Stipends are given to JAM and GATE qualified students, including those in integrated courses. While the fee structure is costly compared to other government colleges, it remains stable with occasional hikes. Additional scholarships are accessible through NSP and other financial allowances.
