The campus has a classic environment, well-trained faculty, and good placements every year.

Placements: Around 84 percent of students get placed. The highest package offered is 58 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 15 LPA. The average package offered is 24 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Tata, Microsoft, etc., hire students. Around 60-70 percent of students get internships in companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Roles like data analyst, operating system, ML engineers, and information security-related engineers are offered.

Infrastructure: All facilities are good in terms of academics, like labs, Wi-Fi, classrooms, and branchwise departments. The campus environment is very nice, with lots of trees. It has a pollution-free campus, as most vehicles run on electricity. Hostels are also nice. We get both good non-vegetarian and vegetarian food. Sports and games are excellent here. All required courts are available here. We also have a student activity centre where we play indoor games.

Faculty: Teachers are well-trained. Their tactics in designing exam papers are really awesome. Teaching is also good. They use the digital projector for displaying slides. They also use the smart board to explain. They will also update the course based on time and current situation to make students ready to face the competition in the industrial world with updated skills, somehow we learn them at least by clubs. The pass percentage is about 90-95 percent.

Other: In view of the present and future situation and the job market, in society, software engineers occupy major roles in development, so I chose the Computer Science and Engineering course. I think that some skills should not be taught through clubs, but should be a mandatory skill to learn by everyone through the curriculum. It is better to implement this in the present curriculum (presentation and communication skills). Events, fests and extracurricular activities organised are also good here as they are governed by students and funded by the campus and other local companies.

Honest review of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

Placements: Around 85 to 90 percent of students get placed almost every year. The highest package is 59 LPA, and the average is 24 LPA. Recruiting companies include Google, Zomato, and Blinkit. 50 out of 140 students got internships last year at companies such as Cisco, Google, and Microsoft. Roles offered include web developer, data scientist, app developer, software engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: Campus Wi‑Fi is available free of cost and for unlimited use. Labs are equipped with computers, although some systems are old. Classrooms are air-conditioned and very spacious. The best thing about our college is its 7‑storey library containing thousands of books, with ample sitting areas and a cafeteria. Hostels are small. The mess/food is the greatest downside. Currently, our sports grounds are under renovation, so sports aren’t active lately.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, with all being Ph.D. holders. Some have advanced qualifications. Teaching quality is satisfactory. The course curriculum makes students industry‑ready. Semester exams are not very difficult, and most students get around 95%.

Other: I chose this course because it is Computer Science from an IIT, which is the best thing about it. I think they could reduce some theory classes and replace them with practical or lab classes. There are three major events/fests organised at our IIT, not including sports fests and sports meets.
