IIT Dhanbad, M.Sc, Mathematics And Computing

Reviewed on Feb 2, 2020

Remarks

One of the best engineering college in the country, and definitely on the rise.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Mathematics and computing is probably the most in demand branch right across all IIT, it combines the best elements of CS, pure mathematics, finance and statistics.

Placement Experience

It's great for maths and computing/CS for sure, plenty of opportunities and it's always on the rise. With a decent preparation bagging a top placement is really easy.

College Events

3.5

There are cultural and tech fests, not that great but you can make it worthwhile. Location may be a big reason for that.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Back in 2013 it was really affordable, but the recent hike changes the narrative dramatically. Worth it in my opinion, even if you have to take out a loan.

Campus Life

4.5

football/athletics coaches are shit, both as a coach and as a human being. But facilities are pretty decent.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostels are decent mostly, except the overcrowded first year prisons.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

seniors are really helpful, if not as a guide then as a competitor. Try to maximize interactions with seniors/alumni/faculty.

Admission

Standard procedure for all IIT's. ISM was converted into an IIT in 2015 but it has been followed the same method as IIT for admissions.

Faculty

Faculty isn't that great across the board but of course if you are willing to work, IIT's are the most helpful. Classes are mundane and boring in nearly every engineering college except for some exceptional professors, and ISM does have some quality faculty.

My Low Budget College life in Master at St. Xavier's College Ranchi

Likes

Regular classes and on time syllabus completion before exams. Our class girls to boys ratio was 10:3
Interactive and friendly teachers who are always there for the students.
Neat and clean Campus and college does organise many other academic and cultural activities like seminar, festivals events, yearly college fest, to keep the students well engaged and active and does not provide with a boring college experience.

Dislikes

The 75% attendance criteria. where a student is must to get 75% in all there subjects otherwise they are barred from writing the semester end exams.
The college has very strict timings like schools or millitary if you are you will be held outside the gate and won't be allowed to attend the classes.

Placement Experience:

Our college does offer campus placements from 4th semester onwards. The companies visiting our college our mostly industry based hiring for the position of assistant and trainee for short term then after that fixed placement in that company after completing the given role. Companies such as Jindal stell, Glenmark, Tata Chemicals, Sun Pharma, etc. they do provide there on test and if we pass the test then they do a walk in interview. if we pass the interview then we were offered a role of assistant or trainee under the annual package ranging from 3 - 4.5L P.A.

These are my perception and I am not saying that it's fact

Likes

The campus is quite large and there is no problem of parking
The classroom 's have good and proper ventilation.
The availability of canteen and cyber cafe is also the plus point

Dislikes

The washroom is not in proper conditon . It's unhygienic
The campus is large but there should be some flowers plants and more things to make it look enchanting but there is no such things
Anyone can enter the campus for dropping there child it should be restricted

Course Curriculum Overview:

There is nothing specific about choosing it , it's just my interest on that particular subject for which I am there .we get proper notes and tips for our exams and also some life lesson . There is only thing which I find irritating and that's the gap between the exams like seriously how can expect from us to prepare 4 subject in just 2 to 3 months

Practical classes are conducting in regular basis

Dislikes

Classrooms and offices should need camera

Waiting area fir guest should be organise

Course Curriculum Overview:

When I type this, I am too excited to share with you that when I heard about this course in this college, I was not more excited or interested, but when was fully my parents takes my admission I was really so confused within one week. I really really happy and glad to have such a great teacher and department. When it comes to the timing of exams, along with perspective on their difficulty level, I told you that you can't even thought that how smoothly exam will over.

It is nice from my view.

Likes

The fee structure i liked the most about the collge which is affordable by everyone. Also scholarship for students is available.
The college organizes the workshops on latest trends from different organizations. Also connect with non profitable oranizations who will provide training stuents on latest technologies at free of cost.
The facilities are good, They have M.Tech degrees. Also they are very supportive.

Dislikes

I don't like the outdoor campus of the college, It is a very small area. Also the college don't have the closed campus from all sides.
The college infrastructure is also not that much good. Some departments (like CND, Home science ) classes are taken in old buildings which are not in a good conditions.
Most disliked thing is that college don't have the online admission or re-admission facitility. It is happens in offline mode only. You have to stand on a queqe to submit the admission or re-admission fee.

Placement Experience:

The students are eligible from 3rd semester. When i'm there only local companies of the city are came for the placement in our college campus. But if other MNC'S are coming for placements in other colleges of the city then we were informed by the placement cell and teachers. Only 20-30% students got placed at our time. My plans after getting a degree is secure a entry level position in an organization. For that i'm also looking for the off campus placements. Right now many companies hiring off campus more than on campus. So, there are more chances to secure your dream job.

Our college and journey

Placement Experience:

From last semester students because eligible for campus placement selection, there are many companies like to visit our college such as Wipro, Tata, TCS, Prabhat khabar, Dainik Jagran, Dainik Bhaskar, etv news, reliance, big bazaar and many more renowned companies. Usually companies offer a contract of minimum 5 to 7 lacs per annum for starting year. 50% students get placement here, because as I told you that there first year package is poor and the companies want us to sign a contract that we will never leave the company for at least 3 years which is not good in my opinion because everyone wants to explore different possibilities. I'm one of those 50% who didn't got the job, after getting the job my plan is simple I'll try to prepare for government job for 5 years if not succeed I'll do my family business.

Great Faculty, Campus with enhanced class rooms

Remarks:

Good college. Keep in mind that not every degree can be completed in four years. Some STEM fields, for example, might have industry or internship experiences that require an extra year for students to complete, and other colleges have a large number of working students who may need extra time to balance academics with jobs.

First year experience in IIT(ISM) Dhanbad

I applied to this college through JoSAA process. I gave my 12th board examinations and qualified JEE mains (98.4 percentile) and JEE advanced. I got admission through JEE advanced rank. In JoSAA counselling , I filled various other IITs and NITs. In my rank ( 19181 in jee advanced general category), the best possible option I saw was this college. The fees were also reasonable. The college is closer to my home and has a glorious history in mining for 100 years. I chose this college over others because it is a very prestigious IIT. It is close to my home too. Also I liked the branch I got here. The admission process of IIT(ISM) Dhanbad in B Tech is through JEE advanced examination after which you need to fill JoSAA counselling. For M.Tech you need to qualify GATE examination. The overall admission experience was good. Earlier I was anxious as the whole system seemed a little overwhelming but the process was smooth. The fees are also affordable and in accordance to other IITs. After admission there was a document verification procedure too which again went smoothly....Read More

Review of IIT ISM DHANBAD

Firstly my dream is to go to IIT college because of its good placement and very big and beautiful campuses with all facilities. Secondly since my rank is 9k in jee advance . My first priority is circuital branch in first generation IIT so I prefer IIT ism Dhanbad electrical over computer science branch in second or third generation IIT . Secondly since I love physics I want to pursue that type of courses where logically thinking involved. Admission process is easy there is one portal name as jossa where you have registered yourself and then you need to fill the priority of college and branch according to your priority and rank you got college there will be 6 round in that if you don't got good college in first round go for further chances will be high you got good colleges. My suggestion is to consider both branch and college during filling the priority of your college selection since it will impact further during placements. For admission in IITs you must need to clear jee mains and advanced and atleast 75% marks in 12th board exam ....Read More

A Comprehensive Insight into IIT (ISM) Dhanbad

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad's admissions process is known for being quick and easy, making the process smooth for qualified people who want to pursue MBA and MBA BA studies. Importantly, applicants must meet certain requirements. Those interested can find full information on eligibility and reservation perks in the official brochure. The school is very clear about its reservation rules for SC/ST, OBC, and PWD groups; you can find this information on the admission .iitism.ac.in website. The CAT is required for both the MBA and MBA BA programs. IIT Dhanbad dosen't have a minimum CAT percentile for eligibility. Making a shortlist rests on how many applications there are and the range of CAT scores, which makes it hard to make predictions....Read More
