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

Hostel Facilities:

Hostels are good with basic aminities like water, electricity, house-keeping, bed, study-table and chairs. The ventillation is good in most of the rooms and new hostels are being built to accomodate 2000-4000 more people. Mess food is really tasty and healthy. Hostels are quite affordable with fees ranging from 6000-7500 per month including room, mess, all other aminities.

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.

Hostel Facilities:

The hostel facilities provided by the campus are top notch. The hostels have been divided into blocks, with UG students being assigned E block, U block and S block. The rooms are well equipped with beds, fans, cupboards, and lights. The rooms in E block are twin sharing, while single occupancy rooms are available in U & S block. Room allotment is random. The hostels are assigned on the first day of coming to campus and are very cheap at 5000 per month. The hostels are located at a central location of the campus so that classrooms are nearby. The food provided at the campus is of excellent quality. There are 5 messes A and B being North Indian veg and North Indian non veg, C and D being South Indian veg and South Indian nonveg, and E mess providing a composite diet. The menus are decided by a mess committee elected from the students by the students. 4 meals are provided everyday, breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. Special items are made on festivals, dessert and beverages are there.

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

Hostel Facilities:

Hostel is pretty good 1} u get two sharing room in the first year followed by single sharing room for the rest 2} in 1 st year u get a cot , a table , a almirah , a study chair , a desk and bathrooms combined for everyone (hotwater always available) 3)there are 5 messes : A,B,C,D,E A: for south indian veg C; for south indian non veg B : for north indian non veg D ; for north indian veg E; for north indian veg food is pretty good and affordable ( max charge 150 per 4 meals a day) you should go to the hostel office on the first day of joining to get hostel and mess hostel fees is pretty much same as the IIT's

Anil Kumar J's Review On Indian Institute Of Science - [IISc], Bangalore

4.8Helpful

Hostel Facilities:

Hostels are some thing that disappoints any one here. About 90% of the strength would get single occupancy rooms. The institute charges us room rent, etc etc and also deducts our HRA. The worst part here is the complaints and maintenance cell which is good for nothing. They dont bother about their duty. One of the worst of its kind. Room rent is Rs.650, maintenance charges are another Rs.600, amenities charges are another Rs.600. Mess is one of its best kind here. We have 2 south Indian and 2 north Indian messes. One of each is a pure vegetarian mess.

All except one womens hostel are good.

IISc Bangalore: 1 Answered Question

Is it necessary to stay in hostel if you study at IISC bangalore?

Saikat BanerjeeStudied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc)

No, it is not compulsory to stay in a hostel if you are a student at IISc Bangalore. You can become a day scholar too, but trust me if you do so you will be missing out on a huge part of your experience, hostel life. But there are several merits of staying in a hostel.

The lush green campus and the serene experience of cycling to and fro the hostel is a unique experience.
The night walk with your friends after a long tiring day will help you boost your stress.
Staying in the hostel is safer than staying outside as the hostel and campus are well-guarded and strict security measures are taken.
Attending seminars becomes easier as you can reach the venue within 5 minutes.
The most important part of staying in the hostel is group studying and group assignments.
The classes have no fixed timings so as a day scholar you might find it difficult to come back again.
The mess and hostel charges are very low and you get excellent facilities even at such a low price.
Students get to spend their leisure time doing their favorite activities including swimming pool, basketball court, badminton court, hockey ground, cricket ground, archery classes, aerobics classes, and many more.

So, it depends on you if you want to enjoy the comfort of your home and become a day scholar or enjoy your hostel life to the fullest.
