{{cquote|The Indian National Congress is of opinion that a Government College of Mining Engineering be established in some suitable place in India on the models of the [[Royal School of Mines]] in [[England]]...}}
The McPherson Committee formed by [[British Raj|Government of British India]], recommended the establishment of an institution for imparting education in the fields of [[mining]] and [[geology]], whose report, submitted in 1920 along with approach of Indian Mine Managers' of India in 1924, formed the main basis for establishment of the Indian School of Mines & Applied Geology at [[Dhanbad]] on 9 December 1926.<ref name="About ISM"/><ref>{{Cite book |last=Mitra |first=Nripendra Nath |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.85565/page/n25/mode/2up?view=theater |title=The Indian Quarterly Register |publisher=The Annual Register Office |year=1926 |volume=2 |location=Shibpur, Calcutta |pages=7 |access-date=26 February 2023}}</ref> From 1926 to 1946 it was led by Prof [[F.

The institute originally offered courses mainly in [[Mining Engineering]] and Applied Geology when it opened. In 1957, the institute began offering courses in [[Petroleum Engineering]] and Applied [[Geophysics]] and the name was changed to Indian School of Mines. Up to 1967, it was a government institute where the faculties were recruited through [[Union Public Service Commission]] (UPSC).

The school was granted university status by the [[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]] under the [[University Grants Commission Act, 1956]] in 1967. Later courses in Mining Machinery Engineering and Mineral Engineering were started in 1975 and 1976 respectively. It was among the few institutes to start courses in [[Industrial Engineering]] and Management (in 1977), to cater to the needs of industries like [[metallurgy]], mining and [[manufacturing]].

From 1996 to 1997 the school came directly under the financial and administrative controls of [[Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)|Ministry of Human Resource Development]], [[Government of India]] with pay scales and perks to its employees at par with that of [[Indian Institutes of Technology]] and [[Indian Institutes of Management]]. In 1997, the institute began admitting students through the IIT Joint Entrance Examination ([[IIT-JEE]]) conducted jointly by the IITs and ISM.<ref name="About ISM Dhanbad">{{cite web|url=http://www.ismdhanbad.ac.in/workshop/iwcmva/|title=ISM Dhanbad - International Workshop on Computations in Vibrations & Acoustics- March 14-15, 2015}}</ref> In 1998 courses for [[Electronics Engineering]] and [[Computer Science and Engineering]] were introduced and in 1999, the institute started a bachelor of technology course in [[Mechanical Engineering]].

In 2006, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad added 14 new courses, prominent among them being [[Electrical Engineering]] and a course in [[Environmental Engineering]] in the undergraduate curriculum. From 2006, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad also started offering Integrated Master of Science (Int. MSc) in Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry and Mathematics & Computing, and Integrated Master of Science and Technology (Int. MSc Tech) courses for Applied Geology and Applied Geophysics. In 2011, the institute offered a BTech programme in [[Chemical Engineering]]. The institute introduced [[Civil Engineering]] in 2013 and [[Engineering Physics]] in 2014.

===Conversion to Indian Institute of Technology===
While a proposal to upgrade ISM Dhanbad to an [[List of Institutes of National Importance|Institutes of National Importance]] had been put as early as 1994 by a Government Committee,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100320/jsp/jharkhand/story_12239611.jsp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110319125735/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100320/jsp/jharkhand/story_12239611.jsp|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 March 2011|title=The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) - Jharkhand - Das push to IIT tag for ISM}}</ref> no action was taken by the Government over this proposal.

A proposal for the conversion was included in the 12th Five year plan after its passage through the [[National Development Council (India)|National Development Council]] (NDC), on 27 December 2012,<ref>[http://planningcommission.gov.in/plans/planrel/fiveyr/12th/pdf/12fyp_vol3.pdf See page 99 of 5 Year Plan - PDF]</ref> and put across the IIT Council on 7 January 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.iitsystem.ac.in/Councildecisions-upload/bacb6099d151722a71c777f42e.pdf|title=IIT Council Meeting Minutes-7th January 2013}}{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
