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.

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.
