IIT Dhanbad has several girls’ hostels.
The newest among them is Rosaline. It is ten storey, and has spacious rooms. Each room accommodates two students at a time. Rosaline is available from second year onwards.
In your first year, you’ll get the Opal Hostel. Opal doesn’t look as grand as Rosaline from the outside, but it has almost the same facilities. Opal has the main canteen area just opposite to it, which is an advantage in itself.
These are the two girls’ hostels that I know about. Rest assured that the girls’ hostels at IIT Dhanbad are well equipped with all the facilities.
IIT Dhanbad is one of the top engineering institutions in India, and as such, its students face a number of challenges. Some of the most common problems include:
It's important to keep in mind that these are just general challenges and that individual experiences may vary.
ISM Dhanbad got the IIT tag a few years back.
It offers pretty good placements and research facilities. The campus is well-maintained and of decent size. It is being further improved and even has its own mall now. Other than that, the college has a fully centralized air-conditioned technical library- the largest in Asia.
IIT Dhanbad is at par with the old IITs. It is the best college in India for Earth Science branches (Mining, Mining Machinery, Applied Geology, Mineral, etc). Other branches have also developed in recent years, especially since ISM has received the IIT tag.
This institute has one of the largest alumni networks in the public sector. It has an MHRD-funded faculty development centre, which is one of its kind in the entire country. It is constructing a Central Research facility within its campus, in collaboration with Australian universities, as a result of an MoU signed by PM Modi during his visit to Australia a few years back. Many centrally funded projects are also taking place within the campus.
So IIT Dhanbad is far ahead of new IITs and at par with the old ones.
IIT Dhanbad is famous for the excellent quality and variety of food served in its mess. Here, there are 4 meals provided to the students namely breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. The food served is great both in terms of quantity and quality.

I am a Mechanical student at IIT Dhanbad. I can shed some light on my branch.
Mechanical is a very good branch at IIT Dhanbad. It witnesses very good placements, and the highest package is more than 20 LPA. One of our seniors got placed in Google for 72 LPA CTC, a few years back. Brands like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft visit the college, and many of them give opportunities to non-IT students.
IIT Dhanbad is known for its Mining branch. But as CSE is the craze of today, its cutoffs are quite high.
IIT Dhanbad is a wonderful college, totally deserving of the IIT tag. Don’t be misled by public opinion. IIT Dhanbad has a huge potential. Try to connect with some seniors in the branch of your choice to get a clearer perspective.
IIT Dhanbad is a reputed engineering college. It has been an alma mater of numerous successful individuals.
Here is a list of some of them-
These are only a few of the renowned personalities who have received their education from IIT Dhanbad.
As an alumnus, I have a fair share of experiences and takeaways from my college. Here are some tips for freshers starting their journey at IIT Dhanbad:
These are some tips from my personal experience. Other than that, study well and make the most of your time at IIT Dhanbad.
Well, before answering this question, the heartiest gratitude to all the candidates who have cracked this toughest engineering entrance in India.
The main thing is that you must decide why do you want to join IIT. Is it only for the IIT tag, or you want to follow your passion?
The tagline of IIT is obviously important, but it works only if you are studious towards your dream. Otherwise, it becomes worthless as well as you will ruin the reputation of these institutes, that IIT.
Another important thing to be considered that if you are outstanding in CSE and gets the chance in IIT Dhanbad, then you will be to do more research, over-viewing the facts, like infrastructure and facilities of both of these institutes. However, BITs is generally better, and one of my friends was there for BITSAT 2017; the institute is really awesome.
Additionally, IIT Dhanbad is the old IITs, but it is still an IIT, and it gives the student a great height regarding their future career perspectives. It is properly funded still now and will be better in next year’s. But you should not expect a better life here than BITs Hyderabad. The main thing that should always be remembered is that good institutes always lead to a confident pathway, but you have to go alone in this pathway to fulfill your passion.
Thus, you must choose your branch first; after that, you can move forward.
My brother also filed an online anti-ragging affidavit recently. He too was confused because he was asked to fill the batch size although he hadn’t even started attending the classes. He randomly wrote 60 only to realize later that it was just a formality. Students need to focus on other details while filling out this form like their email ID, your name, your father's name, Institute to which they are getting admitted. Once you fill in all these details correctly you will receive a mail consisting of 4 pdf files namely:
All you need is the anti-aging undertaking of your parent or guardian and yours. Get this typed on a non-judicial stamp paper and then get it attested by a notary and submit it to the college.
No, one of my friends failed to get placed during campus placements at IIT Dhanbad. He got shortlisted for an interview in L&T after appearing for a written test. However, he did not attend the interview because he was already selected for off-campus placement for the role of AE(Technical) in EESL. It’s a PSU under the Ministry of Power, Government of India.
Others were also successfully placed through off-campus placement. Out of 20 Gate students, 18 are placed in PSU, State, and Central Government sectors. Out of 20 Non-Gate students 15 students are placed in Coaching institutes, core private sector, private Engineering colleges, and Software companies through campus placements.
Students of IIT Dhanbad are able to prepare better for GATE, PSU, and CAT because of low academic pressure.
