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

Placement Experience:

Most of the students after completing four years, continue to stay here to get Masters degree after one more year and pursue PhD from world renowned institutions. Very few people (<7/100) per batch will sit for campus placements and most of them will be selected with a good annual package of 30000 at an average. Some students, mostly Physocs majors can give government exams like ICRB, GATE to join ISRO and BARC as scientists

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.

Placement Experience:

Campus has a well functioning placement cell which assists students. Students are eligible to sit for placements in the last semesters, given that they have completed the required number of credits. However, a unique point about the institute is that since this is a research oriented institute, most students prefer to go for higher studies. Last year's data shows that only 6 students sat for placements, out of which 5 were placed with an average package of 15 lakhs per annum. The remaining vast majority of students went down two ways: either continuing to do their masters at IISc itself or going for PhD in their field. Out of 100 students, 60 students were accepted into prestigious international universities in the USA, Europe and Australia to conntinue their studies with a PhD and contribute to scientific research. The universities that accepted undergraduates from IISc ranged from University of Michigan to Oxford University to Caltech to University of Los Angeles and many more.

Placements in the college was good enough but many students wants to continue higher studies in abroad. After getting degree many students join in top universities like Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, etc.

The campus is full of greenery which makes it feel very good
The students are too friendly and helpful they guide us in diffrent aspects and help us to prepare for exams also

I Dislike That Academics Are A Bot Tougher Than Othe

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this choice because I had a core interest in PHYSICS. Here we have an excellent faculty-student ratio that is 6: 1. The faculties and the tutors are highly qualified and had been studied at renowned universities and did their phd there. The teaching method depends upon the faculty, some have old methods, and some have new methods. Timely exams are held every 1.5 months and are not so difficult.

Indian Institute of Science ( IISC ) , Bangalore

4.7Helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am currently pursuing a Research course of Bachelor of Science in Physics here which is a 3-year course and fully devoted to studying the theories of physics which will we have to research further. The Students are less in the Institute as very fewer students can make it to here. The Teachers are all Research Scientists and the best Professors in the country who teaches us applied Sciences. It is quite difficult to pass the examination you will have to study a lot.
