    Good infrastructure and the best petroleum engineering department.
    Placements: About 80-90% of students got placed. Around 70% of students get internships. 2 years ago, there were 100% placements in the petroleum department. This year, the placement season along with the internship season is going well enough. It will reach almost 90% hopefully.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. All facilities are available. Wi-Fi is slow everywhere on campus. The food in the girls' hostel is not as good as expected from an IIT. Club activities are engaging. Sports facilities are also good enough.
    Faculty: It is very subjective and depends upon the professor. Teachers are helpful. The total marks distribution depends upon the quiz, mid-semesters, and end-semesters. The pass percentage and overall performance vary with branches. Although overall performance is good.
    Other: Fests here are crazy.

    Great Infra, Poor Faculty, Average Placements.
    Placements: In my course year 2024 for seniors, 63% were placed, but in the 2025 year, 30% of students have been placed till now. The highest package is 14 LPA, and the average is 5 LPA. Recruiting companies are Vedanta, Tata Steel, GMDC, Orica, etc. The internship percentage in my course is 10%.
    Infrastructure: The heritage building for my department is very old, approximately 100 years old. Classrooms have projectors and boards available, but Wi-Fi is not available. My hostel quality is good, but the mess food taste is not good. Medical facilities are also poor, but sports and games are good.
    Faculty: Teaching quality is good, but they do not provide practical knowledge. This course curriculum includes excursions. The college exam level is average. There is no passing percentage; there is relative marking. Percentages are not decided; it depends on the relative performance.
    Other: IIT Dhanbad is famous for mining; that's why I chose this course. Events include Khanan for mining, Srijan is the cultural fest, and Concetto is the technical fest. There are also clubs for extracurricular activities like WTC, LITM, LITC, Mic Drop, etc. I want to improve the placement percentage in my course because companies are not coming due to a lack of mining knowledge, and companies are not hiring students. I want faculty improvement. There are also scholarship opportunities like the National Scholarship Portal, etc.

    Good because of good teachers and infrastructure.
    Placements: 80 to 85% of students are placed in my course. The highest package is around 40 LPA, the lowest is 5 LPA, and the average package is 12-15 lakhs. Tata Steel, Coal India, Orica, JSW, and GMDC are the top companies in my course. 40% of students get internship offers in companies like Tata Steel, JSW, Orica, Jindal, and Accenture for consultancy also. The top role offered in my course is Mining Engineer.
    Infrastructure: Facilities like projectors, enough study tables for each student, and AC in each room are present. Smart class facilities are also available for my course, and free Wi-Fi is also there. There is a dedicated part of my course in the central library of my college. My hostel facilities are quite good compared to other colleges; in my hostel, we have 1 room with 2-person accommodation with 1 almirah, 2 tables, 2 chairs, 2 beds, and 1 more almirah for books. The quality of food in my mess is not that good, to be honest, but the menu is full of variety.
    Faculty: There are many qualified and knowledgeable teachers in my college. But talking about their teaching quality, it's not that good or not that bad; it's average. Teachers are helpful and approachable. Some faculty members are very helpful and kind. The course curriculum is very relevant, and of course, yes, it makes students ready for the industry. Semester exams are not that difficult or not that easy; a medium level is followed, and the pass percentage depends upon the respective faculty because our college follows relative grading.
