What Students Say

Likes

Extra curricular activities and sharing of knowledge through various workshops

Dislikes

Hostel food somedays, and cost of living in Dhanbad
I expected the average package of any CSE student in an IIT would be not less than 50 lakh, but I am wrong.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I chose this course as this is the best option I got in JoSAA counseling. Computer Science and Engineering is my first choice. So I got it here. Faculty are all aptly qualified and some even go further in pursuing research and winning awards at the international level. Exams were like, well, more knowledge-based than memory based same way as the other IITs.

Class Size: 170Course Fees: INR 133000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

There are financial aid and scholarships available for those with eligibility like income less than 500000. But, if you are ineligible, then it approximately costs 1000000. And it would be really helpful if you take an educational loan. There will be many banks waiting for you here on the admission date.

Campus Life

3.5

There will be many fests like Srijan, Concetto, Khanan, Parakram, which offer a cool IIT experience. Classrooms are Okish (non-AC). Sports and extracurricular activities play an important role here and many amenities will be provided.

Hostel Facilities

Coming from the South, the hostel food (mainly the curries) is a bit disappointing, rice will be provided along with rotis, and hostel rooms are okay (2 people per room). Registration for a hostel is also somewhat standing-in-queue type and no online registration.

Hostel Fee: INR 36000 per year

Admission

The admission process at IIT ISM Dhanbad via JEE ADVANCED is notably competitive. After successfully clearing the JEE ADVANCED exam, the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counseling process becomes pivotal. During JoSAA counseling, students have the opportunity to select their preferred courses and institutes based on their JEE ADVANCED rank. This process is carried out online, providing flexibility and convenience for applicants. Eligibility for courses typically entails clearing both the JEE MAINS and JEE ADVANCED exams, although specific eligibility criteria may vary depending on the course in question. As such, it's imperative to refer to the official IIT ISM Dhanbad and JoSAA websites for precise and up-to-date information regarding eligibility requirements. To initiate the application process for IIT ISM Dhanbad through JEE ADVANCED, candidates must complete the application form during the JEE MAINS registration phase. Detailed

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I am a diploma holder in civil engineering, I had to choose the same branch in B.Tech also. But actually I chose this college because my diploma friends were taking admission in the same college. The college needs some improvements, but the surrounding areas need more improvement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I will rate the course curriculum decent because it cover the basic engineering concepts that made me choose this course and it prepare us okay for real-world or higher study, but still more practical work and updated teaching method needed, and exams come mostly every semester with some internals which are moderate tough but manageable with regular study. There are some teachers who teach very well and have good teaching methods.

A Real Student Experience at DEC

Course Curriculum Overview:

I feel the course curriculum is okay and the basics are covered well, which is one reason I choose this branch, but some subjects feel outdated and not fully connected to real industry work. It prepare us for further studies more than practical jobs. Exams come every semester with internals in between, difficulty is moderate but few papers become tricky. I think more practical topics, updated labs and better teaching methods will make the curriculum more useful...

Placement Experience:

One of my colleges best features is its placements program, which offers fantastic chances for students to launch their carrers. In the fifth and sixth semesters, students are prepared with aptitude training sessions, group discussions, and resume construction. About 85% of qualified pupils were placed during the previoes school year. Compared to core engieering fields, placements rates were marginally higher in IT branches.

All You need to know about IIT(ISM) Dhanbad

As this is an IIT, To get admission here Firstly You have to take the JEE mains exam. At our time there used to be 4 rounds of the JEE Mains exam and Your maximum percentile among all 4 would be considered for a cutoff It was around 90% and to be eligible for give JEE advance Exam. The JEE advance exam happened in July, and its results were also released in August. After Qualifying JEE Advanced exam too you have to go through JOSSA counselling. In JOSSA counselling you have to give your list of colleges priority wise and you will be allotted college based on your AIR. After JOSSA counseling of 6 rounds, you will be allotted a college and then you will receive an offer letter from a college. For me, at IIT Dhanbad after taking admission firstly we were introduced to college through an orientation session with our respected director. After this we were called to campus for pre-registration for our course there we had to submit our documents and verify our identity. That's it !!...Read More
