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.

Placement Experience:

As there was placement in the year 2021 which is nearly 56 percent. Around 20 companies visited campus like TCS, AKASH, CIPLA etc. for placement. But most of student do not like placement becuase they have their plan about research so they do phd and post doc in their career which they think best according to their opinion. But in 2021 the avg. package was 8 lpa and each participant have 2 offer. Also the highest package is 13 lpa, which is very nice as compare. but the main reson is research that's why placement is not so higher.

Life At IISER Kolkata

4.3Helpful

Likes

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

It is a 5 years course. Course are quiet tougher than other B.sc colleges but it will be very effective if you are going in research field. It will also introduce you to the basic of research and it will help you in future. A habit of reading research paper are vey common in this couse work and will help in your phd. But if you dont want to pursue in research then it will be less relevant to you.

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Courses at IISER Kolkata are not like usual curriculum in state or central Universities in India. IISER Kolkata 's academic curriculum is quite similar to that of US and European Universities. The focus of the curriculum is to teach and train us to make us researchers. So the courses are quite relevant if someone wants a career in research. Exams are very frequent in iiser Kolkata, apart from the mid semester and end semester exams, there are regular quizzes/class tests/surprisetests/assignments/grades tutorial problems every week.

The campus hostels and the environment is very good. It brings you mental peace. The mess food is also good enough. The professor allow you to work in their labs to gain more experience as a first-year student. Even you can join a Lab

Dislikes

For the First year has to study all five subjects and it becomes pretty hectic after sometime
A first year student studying five subjects will obviously get lower grades as compared to the other years

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible to placements from the fourth year here they might get placed into some companies or get selected for a PhD abroad. Most of the placements take place in the fifth year where colleges from abroad come to our campus and give PhD opportunities to students with a very good pay. The placement cell is also very furnished part of the campus and it gives placement to students who want To opt for a job most of the students do not want to do a job after doing their BSMS degree. They would rather like to pursue PhD under a reputed professor in a reputed college abroad.
