IIT ISM Dhanbad All Questions

Hey!

The hostel alloted to the first year students is the Jasper Hostel(for boys). It is situated opposite to the RD. It is divided into four blocks. Almost all the first year students are alloted rooms in Block A and Block D. It has five floors and is the largest hostel currently in the campus.

From the outside, it is quite big but one can guess that it is not maintained “cosmetically”. Every room gives shelter to two students inside the hostel. The passage between blocks A and B has a nescafe vendor, it has two canteens, a mess on each floor, common rooms on each floor which have TVs and TT tables. There are 2 badminton/volleyball courts in each block which are big enough to play cricket/football/basketball.

On the first day, when you enter the room, you may feel that it is small in size. However, as days pass, the size of the room doesn't matter anymore. You will find more than 10 people in a room having their gala time and nobody cares about the space in the room. Infact, there will be enough space for them to play CS or have food which they might’ve ordered from somewhere.

Each room has a LAN port, a granite slab, two cots and a cupboard. And obviously a door and a window.

Best Wishes!

Dear Alia,

Most of the rankings done in India are flawed and paid. They don’t reflect the true picture, which is very unfortunate for new aspirants. Don’t go by the rankings posted everywhere. They will misguide you. Just ask as many passed out engineers as you can. They’ll give you a good idea of engineering scenario in India.

ISM Dhanbad has always been considered among IITs even when it didn’t have the IIT status and was an independent university (ISMU).

Its hard to match the standards of IIT(ISM) Dhanbad when it comes to earth sciences. Mining and Petroleum graduates from ISM Dhanbad are considered and treated as ‘elite’ in their respective industries. Their alumni are holding top positions in huge multinationals.

As ISM boasts of a unique and strong senior junior relationship tradition (which you wont find in any other IIT), its much easier for students of ISM Dhanbad to come into contact with their alumni. No doubt their placement records are very good every year.

ISM Dhanbad was granted the status of an IIT in the year 2000 along with Roorkee Engineering College (now IIT Roorkee) but ISM alumni totally rejected the offer while Roorkee accepted it. You can understand by this gesture, what status ISM Dhanbad has been enjoying since its beginning in 1926. But slowly as new trades started being introduced in ISM, a need for IIT status was felt for the upliftment of branches in ISM other than Earth Sciences. Thus, it got an IIT tag recently.

IIT(ISM) Dhanbad is the best engineering college in India in its own sphere. Just like IIT Roorkee is considered best for civil engineering.

As you are concerned about IIT(ISM)Dhanbad. I will say that go for it ‘blindly’ (when you clear IIT-JEE) if you want a career in earth sciences. Its a descent college for other core branches too, as its firstly an IIT, secondly, it has a pretty good infrastructure (much more upgraded recently) and industry contacts. Also, student life is very good.

All the Best!

Dear Aspirant,

Jadavpur is the best engineering college in top ten list of India but IIT dhanbad also consist in top ranking but as my suggestion IIT dhanbad is the best option instead jadavpur. Another the main thing many cases branch are main priority than colleges,when you will get top branches of jadavpur like CSE, ECE etc and in IIT dhanbad like petroleum, mineral and environmental engineering then you will go jadavpur but in IIT dhanbad you will get like CSE,ECE and top most branchs so this is the best option to select IIT dhanbad and we know that the IIT is the brand.

Hope I have made myself clear.

Best Wishes!

Hi Neelam, thanks for your query.

Congratulations for your good marks in exam. There are chances that you may get admission in ISM Dhanbad. Visit the following link for more info:

Hope this helps!

Sorry the ism Dhanbad cutoff is high for ee .

As you cannot get better try for nits or iiits

You can join the preparatory course and join I If you want to  pursue engineering in only iits .

The closing rank was 900-1000 in sc category based in previous year statistics.

Both of the institutes are great in their own right. So before anyone call tell you what to decide, I will suggest you to go through the academic details of the programs offered which is present on the official websites so go through the courses offered and then as per your interests pursue the same.

Hello...!!

I am a student at Indian school of mines, Petroleum Engineering, I have studied Pathak sir's notes. And they are really awesome. They are made by sir. When sir gave us the notes, it was clearly written at top that it is for internal use only.

Even if we provide you the notes, it would be very difficult to get it without the help of Pathak sir.

The placement percentage is quite high as in most of the IITs. Around 80% of the students in B.Tech programmes get placed. Placement percentage of the branches like mining engineering and computer science is 90% whereas the civil department lacks a bit regarding placements. The highest salary package offered was 36 LPA and was offered to the students of CSE department.                                                                                                                                                         The infrastructure of the college is quite good and is still developing. There is a 7-storey huge library with a good Wi-Fi connection. The student activity centre facilitates all cultural and most of the indoor sports activities. There are ample sports fields and courts for outdoor activities too. There is a health centre to look after all the health issues of students. Labs and classrooms are good and well-furnished.

hello candidate

electrical engineering is a tough branch and you should definitely see the syllabus first.

If you are not interested in cse and have an interest for electrical then definitely ism is a decent choice 

But if you are ok with lower branches then you can apply for older iits like iit delhi,iit kharagpur ,iit bhu

ism lacks alumni network which might be a concern but if you want electrical then it is a goo choice.

all the best
