My review of IIT ISM Dhanbad

The admission process is simple. It is done through the JoSAA portal based on JEE Advanced rank. There are 6 rounds and we can continue if we are not satisfied with allotted college. Documents and fees were to be submitted based on seat allotment.

I chose this course because I enjoy chemistry and am more comfortable with it compared to other engineering courses. The faculty-student ratio is fairly good and all faculty are experienced. The teaching is largely interactive and hence enjoyable. There are 4 quizzes and an endsem exam per semester, though in offline mode, quizzes would be replaced by a midterm exam. The endsems are fairly difficult.

There is a lot of internship oppurtunity, with stipend changing based on the internship. They are usually from 5h and 6th semesters for BTech courses. They also change based on the course. I have not had internships hence am unable to clarify the same.

From the 6th semester onwards students are eligible for on-campus placements. Many major companies offer placements in the college. This year's highest packages were 80 and 90 lakhs, and 94 students were placed on campus.

The fees are quite high for IITs in general,but they are still less than that of private colleges. And due to the increase in job opportunities, the issue of affordability is less as there is a better chance of a better future.

There are various fests, including Srijan, Basant, both being cultural fests and the tech fest Hackathon. There are various clubs that allow for people of all interests to join in on extra curicular activities,be it arts, drama, reading, music, etc. The college also houses one of Indias largest libraries.

We have not been able to visit hostels yet, though from what we have heard and seen in videos, hostel facilities are fairly good. The hostel rooms are for 2 people, having necessary requirements like table shelf and beds. The mess provides separate veg and nonveg. The fees is also reasonable.
