ALL ABOUT IISER PUNE

4.1Helpful

Likes

Most liked thing that there is no ragging in college and all senior are just like big brother and sister, this thing i so loved. Also there is very much greenery in campus which look very nice mainly in rainy season.
All the professor are very brilliant and help student time to time for internship till last date and explain all the phenomenon and clear doubt by simply taking a appointment.

Dislikes

The Thing i don't like is the distance of college from pune city is about 10 km which is makes us very deductive for going us to the main pune city. So we go only 2 to 3 time in a month to pune city.

Hostel Facilities:

Hostels are very nice and very hygienic. In one room 2 person live and room has enough space. Also you got two almirah, table, chair and bed in room. So there is very good in hostel life, also the hostels are very neat and clean as there is one sweeper per floor. So the bathroom and washroom are highly neat and clean. The hostels are very cheap like 1300 per month charge but you have to pay 5200 rupee one time when you pay the semester fee. Also the mess is very nice and hygiene is their first priority, There is not so fixed price for mess as they follow rule like hotel, like you have to pay on spot when you are going to eat. Also there is your own choice what you want to like to eat like veg, non veg etc.

Hostel Facilities:

The hostel is good for the 1st 2 years you will be 3 in a room, from 3rd year you will be in a double sharing room. Meal over here is affordable it is subsidised. and the hostel fee is nominal for a semester like 2000

There is too much freedom in the research field as well as in hostels. I can do research in any topic as i want.
Amazing Lab experience. Labs are filled with high tech modern

Dislikes

The faculties are good in research field but not that good in teaching except few teachers.
Mess food is good but you will be boared after few week.

Hostel Facilities:

Mess food is edible. There are special items every day.But you have to pay every time you buy something through your mess card. Hostel rooms are big enogh for 2 people but in first and second year you have to share it with two other students after that it become 2 people occupency.

An overview of IISER Kolkata: academics, research, hostel, mess, etc

4.3Helpful

Likes

IISER Kolkata has very good academic infrastructure. The Research complex is really very big. Teaching labs, lecture halls and all other complexes are centrally air conditioned.
The Student Monitored Canteen serves very good quality food. If you are a non vegetarian, you will not miss you home food much (of course home food is the best). I have stayed in hostel for 8 years befor joining IISER, and trust me iiserK is the best

Dislikes

Single room accomodation is not provided to hostelers as there is shortage of hostel rooms in iiserK.
Far from the city of Kolkata, it has pros and cons both. The good thing is there is lot of space and Greenery but the disadvantage is that we have to go really far for shopping and other necessities.

Hostel Facilities:

Hostel rooms are equipped with bed, chair, table, almirah,etc. Rooms are either double sharing or tripple sharing for, BS-MS, MS students. Mess food is excellent. Registration fees and hostel fees are including the semester fees i.e. PhD students generally don't get hostel rooms, so they get a good amount of HRA, rented rooms are easily available just outsi6the campus.

Class sizes , friends, environment also the faculties they are so good. Seniors are too much friendly also no ragging.
Labs are very good, our college have separate 5 floor research building.

Dislikes

Too much empty space in college, small hostels , snakes, forest.

Hostel Facilities:

Here you can get 2 sharing room or 3 sharing room, but the 2 sharing room is small for 2 persons but the 3 sharing room is enough for 3 people. The meal and menu quality of IISER KOLKATA is the best in India. Registration for hostel will be done in the day pf registration.

Nature, I most liked the nature of IISER Kolkata. Far from hustles of city, IISER-K it's made in a village , open fields, small forests.

Dislikes

I can't say I particularly disliked anything, but the pace of course is bit fast.

Hostel Facilities:

The hostel facilities are good, the rooms are a bit small (because they put 3 students in double sharing room, 2 students in single sharing room for first 2 years) . But the things are clean. Bathrooms are not so clean but much cleaner than expected from a govt college.

Good quality education and options are provided for everyone to choose there own path in life ether in extra crecular activities or study related activities. Students are give an opportunity to explore and understand different courses.
Multiple groups/ clubs : with multiple groups such as music club , drama club, sports clubs for different games, software (Slashdot) club , hardware club etc so there not a single day wasted.

Dislikes

Campus too big , although it is a good thing but for daily activities waking to and fro can be a bit too much without bicycle, but it is still manageable .
Some times the rules are followed very strictly and you can be finde 1000 rupees for delay in returning to campus after semester holidays. .

Hostel Facilities:

Hostal facilities are provided by the college and you also have the option to rent outside the campus but I recommend staying in hostal as it much cheaper 17k per year with good quality rooms , although only fan , table and bed are provided you can buy other necessities in from shops in campus, food is of very good quality, and manu changes daily repeating every 7 days , registation process is very simple and very affordable (3k per year +15k for food etc)

IISER Kolkata: 1 Answered Question

How is the hostel facility at IISER Kolkata?

Singdha MishraIntegrated BS-MS from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata (2020)

IISER Kolkata has three hostels. The hostel accommodations are quite good.

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar Hall (ICVS): It is an all-boys hostel for BS-MS students. This hostel is closest to the lecture halls and research labs. You can get to the lecture halls within 2 minutes from this hostel.

ICVS has great facilities including high-speed internet, wash-rooms with geysers, washing machines on each floor. The hostel is under CCTV surveillance. However, there are no strict entering and exiting times specified.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose (NSCB): NSCB has the same facilities as ICVS. It was also built at the same time. There are 2 wings for girls and 1 wing for boys. The boy’s and girl’s wings are separated by doors.

The main canteen is situated between NSCB and ICVS. The canteen is run by students. Below the main canteen, there are two stationary shops, xerox shops, saloons, and two refreshment shops.

Nivedita Hall: This hostel was built most recently. It is for the junior year BS-MS students. It has 2 wings for boys and 1 wing for girls. The wings are well-separated. It has all the facilities as the other two hostels. But there is poor ventilation.

It is close to the cricket ground, gym, badminton court, volleyball court. This hostel has its own canteen.

In the hostel, there are separate wings for Ph.D. and BS-MS students. Ph.D. students are allotted single rooms and BS-MS students are allotted double sharing accommodation. There are no hostel facilities for post-doctoral students.
