I like most inside the campus i2h, library, and Ruby garden.
Placements: 92 percent of students were placed in the Petroleum Engineering Branch. The highest package in Petroleum Engineering is 66 LPA. The average in Petroleum Engineering is 22 LPA. ONGC is the top recruiting company of the Petroleum Engineering Branch. Every branch has its own department building.
Infrastructure: (5 GHz) Wi-Fi is available in the hostel, library, classroom, and lab with good internet speed. Campus Wi-Fi is also available. The food in the mess is also good. The 24*7 health center and ambulance service are available inside the campus. Canteens are available in almost every hostel. The students' activity center, lower ground, upper ground, gym, and sports ground are available for sports and outdoor games.
Faculty: The semester exam is very tough. The checking of answers is done in a very hard way. Generally, there are 2-4 assignments in a week. Faculty members are very helpful. Generally, faculty members' behavior is friendly, and you can ask your doubts without any hesitation. The grading is relatively good for students.

IITian and ISMite - a great college indeed.
Placements: The placements are decent in the college. If everyone is sincere from the beginning they are sure to bag a good placement. Also, specifically in petroleum, there are really good opportunities and almost all the big names of the industry visit the campus like Chevron, Cairn Oil and Gas, Indian Oil, Slb.
Infrastructure: The hostel life was great, but the hostel was not that much good. We have access to all the basics like LAN, Wi-Fi etc. But the rooms were not that great and not maintained well. The mess food was also average not that great, but the people of ISM were awesome.
Faculty: The teachers were really great and always helpful. They all are experts in their field, and some of them even provide suggestions to the industries. The course curriculum is very relevant and prepares you for the corporate life ahead. The exams are average still, it depends on the professors.
Other: The college is great and being an IIT, why not choose it? The branch that I chose offers immense opportunities when compared with others. The placement percentage of petroleum was even higher than CSE in our year. The fests are really great and something will keep on happening in college so you won't get bored anytime.

Review of IIT Dhanbad (ISM) - Indian Institute of Technology (ISM).
Placements: 80-85% of the students were placed in the course with highest international package of 27-30 lpa and highest domestic package of 25 lpa. Lowest is 6 lpa and average is 12.5 lpa. Top recruiting companies are ONGC, Cairn Oil and gas, RIL, etc. Internships are offered to 70% of students. Top roles offered are drilling engineer, reservoir engineer, production engineer, etc.
Infrastructure: Good Wi-Fi, well-equipped labs for each course and infrastructure is okayish. Hostel quality is not at all good for first years. Though it increases in 2nd year. Mess food is just okayish. A medical center can be accessed by directly going there or by just calling ambulance. Sports facilities inside hostel are there as well.
Faculty: Teachers are good, PhD holders from renowned institutions but I don't find them good at teaching. Curriculum taught is relevant and makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are not that tough (mainly from PYQs). Question level is not that challenging.

IIT ISM Petroleum Placement.
Placements: About 85 percent were placed this year; the highest was 34 LPA, and the lowest was 6 LPA in the 2023-24 batch. ONGC, Clam Oil and Gas, Essar, etc., drilling engineer are top roles. A total of 248 companies visited that year; the highest placement was 83 LPA this year.
Infrastructure: The faculty is nice, the building is very nice, fully free Wi-Fi is available on campus, and it boasts Asia's 2nd largest library, with too many books. The food quality is average, and there is a special dinner at the end of every month. You will get a very good hostel in the 2nd year, but the 1st year hostel is average.
Faculty: Well-qualified professors, who received their education from different countries like Germany, USA, etc., are supportive and they take extra classes. Exams are on the tough side for some subjects like mechanical and math, but they are easy for other subjects too.
Other: I chose petroleum engineering because the placement of this course is nice at this college, and I got this department from my JEE Advanced rank.

Really good infrastructure and excellent sports facilities.
Placements: 90 percent of students were placed this year. Additionally, some students secured placements off-campus, while others received PPOs from companies. Top recruiting companies include ONGC, Mess, Amazon, etc. The highest package was 1 crore internationally and 57 lac domestically. The average package was 17.2 lac per annum.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are excellent. Our college library is one of the largest libraries in our country and the second-largest technical library on our continent. The hostel quality is very good, and the mess food is healthy and well-balanced. Sports facilities are excellent on our campus.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is also very good. The courses are also relevant to the curriculum, which helps the students for placement. Semester exam papers are of very high quality and are about the application of theories that we have learned. The pass percentage is 50%.
Other: This branch is the best branch in this college. Ninety-eight students were placed out of 100. In our college, there are 3 fests: technical, cultural, and sports. Students who come under the 500th rank receive a scholarship so they don't have to pay tuition fees as well as mess fees.
