Factors-:1- NEEDI wanted a CORE stream in either CORE IIT or converted colleges like BHU or ISM2- IIT ISM 's has vast alumni baseBeing a college of 1926, Its alumni's are all over the world and are sitting at top positions of their respective fields(ISMAANA, ISMAAUK etc), this would allow me to go to foreign university/job comparatively easily. 3- PlacementsIt became IIT in 2016 , and since then its growth is great, within 4 years it is able to increase its average package from 7 lakhs to 11 lakhs , this rate of change is better than IIT BHU(rate of change) .(ref main website NIRF data) . Moreover PPO, off campus placements are not taken into account in those data ( in core IIT they do, to inflate the package) . The package in PPO and off campus placement is far better and many seniors are able to score it.4- CampusBeing an Old college, It has proper infrastructure , all facilities that core IITs have and nonetheless huge campus!5- MoU with many foreign universitiesThis would allow me to easily undergo foreign semester exchange, hence opening an opportunity to go abroad.6- Location/ connectivity is disadvantageNo airport , remote location , deprives the college of calling some international companies ( although students are easily able to make in via off campus placement.IIT bombay , delhi, kanpur are at advantage because of this( even their manipulated data)7- Strong senior-junior bondThis is one of the most important factor , that IIT ISM can boast of, other colleges does like roorkee , bombay does'nt have this like ism. Seniors mentor their junior in future for any exam/job placement.8- Huge alumni base in field of Consulting-management-financeThis is something any new IIT , top NIT's lag in! All top companies are coming like barclays,MCkinsey,BCG,bain, pwc are coming to ISM and hiring students but not in above mentioned colleges! This was one the main factor in choosing IIT ISM.9- Bad reputation/not known on social networking sites like quoraPeople have tried to defame by answering anonymously, that too 5-6 years back, when ISM was not IIT, on reading on quora about IIT ISM , it could turn out to be worst nightmare to choose this college. The college has evolved soo much ,overcome each of the drawbacks mentioned their within 1 years of converting into IIT including the advancement in streams. Hence those can be easily ruled out !10- OpportunitiesBeing into the college for 7 months , I have been able to prove myself with soo many oppurtunites , competitions and even internships.Based on above factors I researched myself , I choose IIT ISM chemical over other colleges.

After 7th semester ending we will be eligible for placements. Highest ever package was 42LPA. More than 60 companies visit every year. At least you need to have 7 GPA to sit in the placements. But some companies do keep cutoff 6 GPA or 8 GPA above are eligible .

I chose this college because, Dhanbad is ranked as one of the top management institutes by agencies like Business Today and NIRF. It is a reputed college and the only IIT department which offers a 2 year masters degree MBA programme in business analytics and also provides internships as well. In order to be eligible candidates need to have a btech degree from a recognized university with an average percentage of 60% in aggregate and 55% for ST, SC and Pwd.

I decided to choose to apply an an IIT instead of an IIM because an MBA from IITs is suited for aspirants with a Tech background. plus the fee here was really less in comparison to IIM and hailing from a Science and Engineering domain, I was naturally inclined towards IIT and being from a middle class family, I didn't even think about all the other private institutes because I wasn't sure if I would get admission into those and the fee of those private colleges were totally out of my budget. So, I applied here at DMS IIT Dhanbad online by paying an application fee of Rs.800.

Pre-placement offers to begin in December for students who are in the 7th semester. and the placement season is till May after the 8th semester. Companies have a different eligibility criterion. To be on the safe side try keeping your OGPA above 6.5. Relative grading is followed here so eligibility with GPA above 8 is very uncommon. Companies like Facebook Microsoft Adobe Amazon Maruti Suzuki Ceat Goldman Sachs Sprinklr Mahindra Adani groups visit the campus The total count of visiting companies is 100+. The highest package was offered by Microsoft with 23 students getting 43.5 LPA. The average package is around 10 - 12 LPA. Each company on average offers job to 2-3 students. The percentage of a student placed is almost 70%. As the other 30% wants to do higher education. There is a Management department here so most students opt for an MBA course after completing their degree.

Very first thing that I choose IIT is because I am a Science student. And being a Science students, I had a dream of pursuing courses from IIT. Second reason I choose IIT ISM Dhanbad is because its fees. Fees are comfortable compare to other private colleges. Its around 4 lakhs. And the third reason of choosing this college is because it is near to my hometown. As I am from Jamshedpur.

I selected IIT Dhanbad because for me the ROI factor is very important and this university shines as compared to other universities. Research is the forte of our college, plus the NIRF rankings and I got in touch with some of my alumni and heard about the advantages and disadvantages and realized I can get opportunities in the college if I work hard.

I passed my B. Tech computer science engineering in 2018. then I applied for CAT. my percentile was 89 percentile. so I reviewed every college that was out there and like 89 was too low for up top premier college. so I could only jot down only 3-4 colleges that are reflected well for me. so in that, there were ISM, IIMS and 2-3 other private colleges like IIFT, and 3 of the other college were there. so I only applied for ISM because I had applied only one form that is ISM that was because 89 are some of the government colleges and I knew it if I had a degree from reputed institutions that is 100 years old so, I'll get a job. my target was to get a degree from a college that is reputed when I passed out and go into the market. so I applied only for ISM and then the interview started. the forms were out from January to February and then the round started in April. the first round was I guess GD and PI. so GD and PI took in April. so there were two lists of students like there are 1800 students applied and there were two batches one was called on one day and some called on the second day. from that bunch of people, they started to talk GD and PI. GD and PI were taken for every person and then what they did was, they had this formula we used to convert that GD and score and emasculating ability and everything and then rounded off they made a list and then the results were out. I was the 1st person on a waiting list that I did not get, I was not able to join any college directly so there was just a waiting list for the candidates. thank god someone rolled back and I was able to join the college. so, in June we called for the other processes like other waiting list candidates was also called and the process conducted in a day and you had to pay the 1st fee on the same day and everything was communicated along back with the mails and it was one day process and everything was very fine along with the documents and everything and you will be involved in the college.

I have chosen for faculty based more actually considering we that have a very small batch like as we have running two MBAs. One is an MBA general and the second is MBA in Business analytics If you include both of the batches then the students will be 50 students.

It is an IIT, Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad. It was ranked 31 in 2017 and now it is 23 in NIRF Ranking. It's has excellent teaching faculty like Chandan Bhar Sir, Pramod Pathak Sir, Soumya Mam, GSP Sir, Mrinalini Mam and more. Very good chance of getting placed in very good companies. It was also near to my home.
