Dhanbad, Oct. 27: The placement season at Industrial Training Institute (ITI) Dhanbad has begun with a bang.

More than 300 students landed jobs at the Hyderabad-based telecom company, Aster Tele-services Private Limited, on Wednesday. They would get an annual package of Rs 90,000 besides perks like home accommodation, said principal of the institute Dalbir Singh.
