Life at IISc- Pros and Cons

4.4Helpful

Likes

Great peer group who are just like me, really interested to pursue research
Some professors who are very reachable at anytime to ask our doubts

Dislikes

It is necessary to study at least three subjects from PCMB for first three years

Campus Life:

There are quite a good number of fests happening every year like Pravega, Rhapsody, etc.. The campus is soo green and the infrastructure is also good. It is located in Bengaluru which makes the climate soo good. There is a main library JRD Tata Memorial Library which has wide range of books and journals also with access to e-content. Labs are quite good and have very good equipment Sports are really good and we have atleast one event with sports every month. We also participate in the Inter IISER Sports Meet every year There are many clubs with a set of clubs called ASCEND mainly focussed on research along woth other clubs for sports and literature. They are a good source of recreation.

IISc Bengaluru: the premier research institute of India

4.4Helpful

Likes

The infrastructure of the campus: well built labs equipped with the latest technology, libraries with massive up to date collections, big classrooms equipped with projectors, a well built auditorium and sports complex.
Campus life: Campus has around 40 running clubs which include various extra curricular activites, regular cultural events are held including music nights, comedy shows and concerts.

Dislikes

Administration: Since the Institute is composed of masters and PhD students comprising 90% of the population, the issues of the Undergraduate community tend to get lesser attention owing to their small population
Academic load: Quizzes are held every week, sometimes surprises quizzes are held with no prior information. The assignments given require detailed solutions and contribute to the final grade. Hence the academic load is relatively high here.

Campus Life:

The college has a very vibrant social life. There are 2 fests held across the year. The first fest is RHAPSODY, the annual fest of IISc held in september of every year. It includes several concert shows, gaming events and much more. The other fest is PRAVEGA, the cultural and technical fest held in January. This fest is organised by the Undergraduate community and is one of the biggest fests in the country. Apart from this, alot of cultural events like Karnatka day, Janmashtmi, Durga Puja, Diwali and Holi are celebrated with grandeur. For new students, Freshers night and prom night are orgainsed by the campus community. The JN Tata Library is one of the biggest libraries in Asia available to all campus students. Apart from that, several smaller libraries like Ranade library are found in departments. There are several music, dance and educational clubs on campus which regularly host events and competitions. There are regular club meetings and academic excursions which make laerning fun

B TECH (MATH AND COMPUTING) life at IISc

4.6Helpful

Likes

the atmosphere here in bengaluru is so pleasant and calm and campus is very green and calm which makes it very easy to concentrate and study
as the campus strength is very low and the area is so large most of the campus will be of big trees and animals and everyone here will participate in atleast one extra circular activities

Dislikes

the main thing I disliked is the mess allocation on the first time which I got north Indian mess but I couldn't adjust there but after a month i got successfully changed to south indian mess
as the b tech people are just a minority here and since the course started only in 2022 so some recognition will not be there apart from that there will be no problem

Campus Life:

1) IISC have the best campus atmosphere i think , they will first conduct the freshers party for juniors every year and then there will be Sangam a party for all freshers and seniors and Rhapsody a annual fest in which many sci tech events 2)IISC has one of the biggest Library of India JRD TATA MEMORIAL LIBRARY and many more department libraries which contains almost all books and u can get access to any study releated journals if u need subsricption campus only will provide u and kindle tabs are also given for free of rent and u can take books for rent 3)AC classrooms and good halls only strength 60 so calm and good classes 4)for every week u can go to many clubs and improve the skills u have and IISC has a very good gymkhana which has almost all sports (including swimming) anually there will be a two sports events eclipse (for undergrads) and pravega whole campus 5)many clubs such as ASCEND,RHYTHMICA,ROBOTICS club are run by students

I Dislike That Academics Are A Bot Tougher Than Othe

Campus Life:

Pravega is the cultural festival here. It is held every year in March and is one of Asia's biggest cultural fest. Books and journals are always available in the library and we get emails whenever new books are introduced.

Insightful Evaluation of Course Curriculum and faculty Members at IISc

4.2Helpful

Likes

You'll gain practical hands on experience through a variety of tasks and projects that you will be assigned as homework. The course framework are excellent, and there in ongoing assessment. The college placement record is excellent
Because iisc has so many companies plus government projects, you can only intern in college from may to june

Dislikes

Infrastructure, labs, students, professors, teaching methodology , and the worst aspect is that the course structure is very hectic until you become interested in your course.
All of my friends were having a good time with the arguably lighter course structure, as well as all of the DJ nights and the culture fest, while I was stuck with almost nothing.

Campus Life:

We offer access to all important journals and publications, a library stocked with books, lab access with research capabilities available around the clock, and the top faculty. you'll meet a lot of individuals and engage in all kinds of wacky activities. Going out at night, getting a haircut on 32 levels, paying 80k for insipid food.
