I don't deem it right to compare the two colleges directly as the alumni would feel offended and this might even result in rivalry. It's true that every college has its own unique strengths as well as weaknesses.

ISM Dhanbad is more oriented towards streams like Mining Engg, Petroleum Engg etc.
JU on the other hand excels in core streams which are even better than ISM Dhanbad.
JU highest package 2022 stood at INR 1.8 CPA offered by Facebook while IIT Dhanbad highest package 2023 stood at INR 56 LPA

Ultimately, there is no ‘better’ college as it all depends on your individual preferences.

Studied B.Tech Mechanical Engineering,Indian Institute of Technology,Dhanbad (2018)

I have a few friends who have completed their B.tech from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Jadavpur University. Here are some crucial factors you must take into account to understand the difference.

Legacy: IIT(ISM), Dhanbad is an IIT which is a central level engineering institute and also one of the oldest colleges in the country. On the other hand, JU still remains a state-level university.
Infrastructure: If you have visited both campuses, you can clearly see that the infrastructure at JU is crumbling as compared to that of IIT(ISM). JU has a campus the size of IIT(ISM), Dhanbad's lower ground.
Rankings: Although most rankings are biased and paid, JU is always ranked below IIT(ISM) Dhanbad except in the NIRF Rankings.
Placement packages: The tougher JEE Advanced criteria ensures the quality of students IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. All branches perform quite well. For example - The highest salary offered in CSE in the year 2017 was 1.05 crore

By no means a state-level university can outstand a national-level Institute. IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has an edge over JU in almost all aspects. If you score well enough for IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, there’s no point in thinking about Jadavpur University.
