Admission:

To be eligible to apply for an MBA course in IIT(ISM) Dhanbad, it's important to have mathematics as one of your subjects in your graduation stream. The application form can be found on the official website of the Department of Management Studies official website once the application is out. The announcement for the same is made on the Pagalguy website by the admission committee. Though during the online interview process, no timeline was given and we had to wait for 1-1.5 hr for the interview to begin so the interview could've been conducted smoothly. The process was great and the admission committee helped us throughout the process.
