How is ECE at IIT Dhanbad?
As a B.Tech ECE student at IIT Dhanbad, I can give you some insight on this course.
The ECE faculty consists of a handful of professors who are genuinely interested in this branch. You’ll get to study from them in the last 3-4 semesters. The rest won’t teach or guide you much.
Only the top performers get placed in core companies. Most of the recruitments are made by IT and software firms. For those jobs, you must learn good enough coding to be able to compete with fellow CSE students. Pursue ECE only if you have an interest in Electronics, Semiconductors and Communications Systems.
These are some details about B.Tech ECE at IIT Dhanbad. Pursue B.Tech ECE only if it aligns with your goals and aspirations.

Unlike before, VLSI students study only the subjects relevant to their specialization. The faculty is mostly good. Some of the teachers aren’t up to the mark. But you can make up for that through self study. You’ll get plenty of internship opportunities. For placements, more companies have been visiting in recent years.

How is IIT Dhanbad (mineral engineering)?
As a former student of Mineral Engineering at IIT Dhanbad, I will offer some insight into my department-
Advantages
- The number of lectures and syllabus of Mineral Engineering are quite manageable. With some effort, you’ll easily score a good CGPA in all your semesters.
- The course will give you free time to study for CAT/GRE/UPSC, or to practice coding.
- The department allows more freedom to enjoy campus life and perform other activities on the side.
Disadvantages
- You can’t write the GATE exam.
- Very few core companies visit the campus, and the placement scenario is in a poor state for Mineral students. However, with good communication skills and an 8+ CGPA, you can hope to get placed in a good organization.
- The curriculum is light, so you’ll severely lag behind foreign university students.
- The package offered to Mineral students stands nowhere compared to that grabbed by CSE students.
But despite the disadvantages, you’ll have to make peace with the fact that your rank isn’t enough for CSE. Also, not everyone in CSE performs exceptionally.
Mineral Engineering (especially at IIT Dhanbad) has very limited scope, but it offers you ample freedom and time to work on your skills and build your future.

Should I take cse at ISM Dhanbad or civil at IIT Hyderabad?
I would never recommend you to go for any core branch at new IITs.

Both the colleges are poles apart in terms of infrastructure, facilities, etc.
