What Students Say?

Likes

All faculties are very talented and have their PhDs and postdocs from the worlds best universities.
One can do an internship under any professor from any part of the country, but it must be from an affiliated good university.

Dislikes

IISERs are not meant for placements, and if you are going to IISER just for placement, then it is the worst choice for you because IISER doesnt support placement after your 5-year degree

Overview of IISER Mohali

3.6Helpful

Likes

The campus environment is quite good. Seniors here are quite helpful.
We get good research environment and curiosity is encouraged by professors and peers.

Dislikes

The mess food is not the best in comparison to the price charged.
The campus is located in a very hot and polluted region.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is set in a way to encourage for further research. It does prepare for real-world applications and future academic persuit. In general the courses are quite interactive but sometimes if feels like it's running faster than what an average student can grasp. Sometimes there are problems with exam since there are three exams in semester of four months and at the end it feels like we are only studying for the sake of exams

IISER Mohali : another home with love and science

3.9Helpful

Likes

I love the idea of co-ed hostels in the campus. The environment it provides end all kind of discrimination from region to religion and gender.
The proffesor of the institute are very friendly and engaging. They meet abd talk with us even after official time and always willing to help

Dislikes

The lack of helpfulness of Admins of university is really disappointing, from supporting students welfare to caring about their health

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum of IISER mohali is very different from any other college in India, it is designed to give students real life application with understanding of fundamental concepts of all the subjects. The most interesting part of the curriculum is inclusion of social science with traditional science subjects, so that students stay conscious about real life problems and society, and help to remove the problems. The labs cources are well designed with problems from ongoing research. The teachers use interactive boards to elaborate us topics with audio visual medium. There are 3 exams in a semester, two mid semster exam and one end semester exam. The student who might fail a course given chance to pass it in summer. The difficulty of exams depends on proffesor. But most of the exams in first two year are easy to moderate but from third onwards its moderate to difficult. The curriculum is designed to specifically who want to persue research in future and provides really great foundation.

IISER Mohali Review through the lens of a student who finished his first year

4.1Helpful

Likes

Amazing campus, nice work environment, amazing connections and lab equipments. Good hostel independence and mess food

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course structure has very good HSS courses, as well as all the other courses and very well balanced, some of them are hard but through consistent learning you can get an A pretty easily. With the new introduction of premajors, even the need to do 4 subjects for 2 years has been reduced and we can now opt for 2 subjects after 1st year. The frequency of exams is a bit hectic, since we have to appear for 2 midsems and 1 endsem in 4 months with additional quizzes and assignments in between.

LIFE AT IISER MOHALI

4.5Helpful

Likes

The social life is quite good and you have so much diversity here, people come from different parts of India
Most faculties are quite good in teaching and almost all are doing active research

Dislikes

The overall schedule of a student can become quite hectic
Sometimes courses can be very high paced so you have to study hard, time management is the key

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is for those who have passion towards science. The curriculum is very good and there is a major focus on interdisciplinary research with a lot of options for elective courses to prepare students for real world applications. Although the difficulty of exams depends on a particular instructor, the frequency is high as they occur every month in an ongoing semester

IISER Mohali : A potential candidate

3.5Helpful

Likes

Laboratory exposure, working in labs and getting a first hand experience from the very beginning
Co-curricular activities, the annual tournament held in respective fields

Dislikes

Some theory classes are not upto the mark and left you in a bored state
Clubs don't get that much budget to held large scale activities which can increase the engagement with other colleges within the locality or beyond

Course Curriculum Overview:

I like the overall curriculum , the laboratory exposure from the first year itself provides a really good exposure , the schedule is good as well , it is not hectic and you get time to develope other skills apart from curriculum. You can get engaged with short and long time project while being in your bachelors degree itself . Though there are two mid semester and one end semester exams in each semester and the difficulty level varies from professor to professor thus we have relative grading.

IISER - A NEW ERA OF RESEARCH

3.9Helpful

Likes

FACILITIES AND LEVEL OF EDUCATION PROVIDED BY INSTITUTE.
FOOD QUALITY AND VARIATION IN MENU BOTH SOUTH AND NORTH INDIAN FOOD

Dislikes

Professor should talk both in hindi and english language but they only talk in english.
Not a strict environment there should be a strict environment in campus

Course Curriculum Overview:

THIS IS A RESEARCH ORIENTED COURSE BS-MS, basically an integrated 5-year bsc msc plan but in a more structured and on a research basis. There is at least 1 professor on 30 students I think not sure. And all professors are well-qualified postdocs from good foreign universities. Term exams were divided into 2 midsems and one end sem and the level of paper is the same as what professors taught in class.

I liked many things in my college from faculty to amenities provided are very great also there are so many clubs here which you can join of your interest and enjoy every moment of it they always keep you busy with something.

Dislikes

The continuos evaluation is the thing i dont like they should atleast give some break in between exams so student can take some rest

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because I was interested in research. The student-to-faculty ratio here is 30:1. They all are postdocs and all of them have done their postdocs from good foreign universities. Here mid sems are conducted every month in total 2 midsems and one endsem is conducted every semester, the exams are not too tough if you go to classes and understand things conceptually.

Cultural diversity, as there are people here from all over India everyone gets to learn and be part of other cultures while still being able to celebrate their pwn.
The exposure to research opportunities are huge here everyone tend to do an internship from their first year with the 3 months holiday and be around labs from all over the world.

Dislikes

The administration is kind of rigid when it comes to be flexible for students.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course mainly focuses on building foundations for basic science among students. As I always wanted to become a scientist I chose this institution. In my opinion, IISERs are way more research than other Indian Universities because of the following reasons 1. Course structure focuses a lot on building up essential skills for both experimental and theoretical sciences. 2. The extensive summer internship culture in IISERs helps the students to get introduced to research from their very first year. 3. The professors have connections with other scientists worldwide which can help students explore research in a lot of advanced laboratories and institutes. Talking about the course structure here1. Courses are usually pretty extensive as every course includes a lot of assignments, quizzes, two mid-sems and one end-sem. 2. As the core courses here for the first two years include all four subjects (PCMB) the core courses don't go that deep which makes the major courses pretty extensive.
