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

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

The tution fees is quite less and does not increase that much. It costs around 4 lakhs to complete the course (including tution, hostel and mess charges). 99 percent of students get a scholarship of 60000/- per annum (people who do not get it is the ones who failed in the semester in the previous year and can renew it next year) which is either from INSPIRE/IISc Promotional Scholarship. There are no major employment opportunitites that I have undertaken since I am just going to seciond year now.

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.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

The tuition fee is very cheap and affordable in order to promote research culture in India. There has not been an increase since the last 10 years. For first year students, they will have to pay an admission fee of 20000, a refundable security deposit of 25000, and 33000 as the tuition fees for first year. The tuition fees for second, third and fourth years continues similarly. The hostel charges are 5000 per month, and the mess charges will vary depending on what meals you choose but it comes to approximately 5000 per month. One of the good things about IISc is that almost all the students are provided with scholarships to study. SC and ST students are directly waived off from paying any tuition fees. For the rest of students there exists INSPIRE Scholarship which gives you a stipend of 5000 per month. Till 2022 when KVPY mode was running, KVPY scholars were given 5000 monthly stipend with 20000 annual contingency grant.

Fests, studies, curriculum, environment,weather etc
Learnings, senior junior relationships and helpful nature

Dislikes

Hostel rooms need to be better. Classrooms of old dept needs to be better

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

As it is a govt college so per semester tution fees is only 14000 . The scholarships are provided as it is one of the most reputed colleges of India. Our department doesn't provide internship as we have industry workshops which is way better than internship. Also placements are 100 percent in our department and it gets completed in 1st week of October with avg CTC of 33LPA in semiconductor industry.

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

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

Fee structure of B Tech Programme in IISC is almost similar to Many IITS no considerable changes if we include all the hostel and mess fees it would be roughly around 300000 per year and no scholarships for B tech students but after 3 semester u can go for internships at various tech companies all over the world

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

Dislikes

I Dislike That Academics Are A Bot Tougher Than Othe

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

The fees here are like every other tier 1 college, but almost every student has a scholarship, being it due to low family income and also because of high cpi and jee rank. Campus jobs are very rare but we can always do certain internships.

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.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

For the first two years of their enrollment in the PhD program, candidates are eligible for a monthly stipend from MHRD of 31k. Following three years, they are eligible for monthly stipend of INR 35k and after five years, they are eligible for a monthly stipend of INR 12k for one year.
