    Faculty and infrastructure are good, but there is a lack of placements for the RF branch.
    Placements: For internships, Intel visited the college last year. Coaching institutions like Aakash, Rao IAS, etc., and companies like Qualcomm, Intel, etc., visited the college. If you are interested in higher studies, a lot of positions come for JRF since this branch gets a lot of government projects.
    Infrastructure: For M.Tech students, the hostel rooms are very small. The food provided is okay. Medical facilities are available 24 hours on weekdays, and the timings are different on Sundays. I have not been much into sports, but I know that almost all sports facilities are available.
    Faculty: The course curriculum is relevant since they teach from the very basic of microwave. It makes students industry-ready because you get to publish papers for which you will be doing research on recent topics and also the evolution of those topics.

    Review of IIT Dhanbad - Indian Institute of Technology (ISM).
    Placements: The placement session starts in December. Some core companies have come to campus, but mostly they were IT companies. M.Tech Thermal is also eligible in core IT companies for placements, but you must have sound knowledge of computer languages. Top recruiting companies this year are Vedanta, Phone Pe, and Adobe. Every year 20 to 40% of the students get placed from college.
    Infrastructure: The library is one of the best for any student and is fully air-conditioned, and Wi-Fi enabled. Classrooms are also well maintained with projectors and digital tech. Labs are also good, and some of the machinery is not in working condition as they are very old, but overall labs are in good working condition. Canteen and medical facility is also good and provided on the campus near to hostels.
    Faculty: All the teachers in our college are good, helpful, and qualified in their respective fields. Most of them are research paper holders and have very good knowledge. The teaching quality is good, and they take full classes and extra classes too to complete the syllabus if required. The course curriculum is well structured and very relevant.
    Other: Events held in IIT Dhanbad are huge. Extracurricular activities are like swimming club, gymkhana, and many more clubs.
