Question

From what I've heard, ISM Dhanbad is a solid choice for mechanical engineering. A friend of mine had a great experience there. It's an older college with a well-established mechanical engineering department. They've got all the amenities you'd need, including high-tech labs with CAD/CAM, CNC lathes, and plasma cutters.

ISM Dhanbad's mechanical engineering program is one of the best core branches. Back in 2016, Tata Steel offered the highest package at around 16.6 LPA. Plus, major PSUs like CIL, NTPC, and NHPC visit the campus for recruitment.

Here's a quick comparison:

	ISM Dhanbad	IIT Bhubaneswar
Course Fee	2.85-8.71 lakh	8.52 - 10.63 lakh
Placement Rate	90%	80%
Highest CTC	12 LPA	15 LPA
Average CTC	6-7 LPA	5 LPA
Recruiting Cos.	Tata Steel, PWC, TCS, Intel, etc.	Accenture, Capgemini, TCS, IBM, etc.

ISM Dhanbad also hosted the ASME Student Led Design Conference (SLDC). CSE and Mechanical are prime branches, with placement rates of 96% and 98% respectively, which is better than IIT Bhubaneswar. Infrastructure is a big deal in core branches, and ISM has an annual grant of 230 crores, so you know they've got good facilities.

Its a Question about your future!
