Remarks :
I got my seat in Mining Machinery Engineering branch in IIT(ISM) Dhanbad through JoSAA counseling based on JEE Advanced rank list. I applied for all major branches in top IITs but neglected the lower branches from other IITs, proximity from my hometown Bokaro was also one of my priorities. I come from OBC community and got OBC quota reservation in getting my seat. Scoring minimum cut-off score for qualifying JEE Advanced is required for getting admission in IIT(ISM) and admission is based on rank list. The admission process was completely online owing to the pandemic situation. We were required to mail all the relevant documents through an email and online payment of fees. The admission process was quite smooth and the administration was interactive throughout.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I choose Mining machinery engineering because IIT(ISM) because is one of the giants in India when it comes to the Mining sector. A core engineering branch was the one I was looking for and proximity to my hometown was also one of my priorities. There are several professors and instructors for each course and programmes. All deeply concerned about a better understanding of the concepts by the students. The faculty here is highly qualified with various degrees and dedicated to a better teaching-learning process. Online classes were held in a smooth manner and instructors gave an extra yard to cater the gap. We had four internal quizzes and an end-semester examination each semester. The quizzes were objective and the end semester was descriptive. Questions were based on concepts and a relative grading method was implemented for grading.
Internships Opportunities :
IIT(ISM) provides fairly good internships. It has its own internship cell with advisors which provides information about internships and also helps students to get placed. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Coal India has offered internship opportunities with stipend. Many projects are also taken up for uplifting skills and knowledge, which also boosts one's CV for better internship and placement opportunities

Students start getting stipend internships from the second year of the course itself. The placement percentage is around 70%, around 150+ reputed companies visit for on-campus placements. The highest package this year was 90 lakhs per annum and the being lowest 6 lakhs per annum. I plan to get a job in core sector after completion of my degree.
