I can say that college is quite good enough, will give ample of opportunities to you.

Placements: The placements are quite good enough for a freshers graduation in current scenario. You can expect packages of crore but it is very limited. Yes, if you work upon your skills and maintain a minimum CGPA, the placement is almost guaranteed. Also the internship opportunities are also vast here.

Infrastructure: Considering the food quality, it's is just lika as good as to eat not something which you will gave for, also hygiene and sanitation is the issue for now. Wi-Fi facilities are decent enough, but you can't expect to be much good. Library is very fast and is the core attraction of whole campus with immense number of books.

Faculty: Talking about the faculty, they are highly qualified enough, most of them have done their Ph.D. from some top IITs or any other big foreign universities. The branch wise curriculum is old standard one, and is only relevant to those who actually lovers the subject to read.

Other: No.

IIT-ISM Dhanbad, a center of knowledge in the coal capital of India.

Placements: Overall placements are good. Last year due to recession it was not up to the mark. But before that it was decent. Placements percentage is about 80% in mining machinery. Talking about 2023 placement states. The highest salary package offered was 44 LPA and the lowest salary package offered was 9 LPA.

Infrastructure: Buildings, hostels, and other complexes that are built after conversion from ISM to IIT are good with better facilities. First-years get to live in amber hostel which lacks a lot of facilities. Mess food of amber hostel is really hygienic with less variety.

Faculty: Most teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable as they all of studied at the top institutions of the world. Curriculum is also fine as it gets updated frequently according to relevance and requirements in the respective fields. Semester exams are not tough but one could score over 8 CGPA with minimum effort.
