Remote location, difficulty in reaching main city

Course Curriculum Overview :

I have interest in research so I opted for this institute. It is very similar to outside world because we have pure sciences and applied sciences too. They could make class more interesting for students and exams are on a moderate level. Nothing comes copy paste from book.

Class Size : 170Course Fees : INR 30000 per year

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Tution fees almost remains constant once you reach third year. If there is a hike there is a little hike for foundation level. There are scholarship given like National Scholarship schemes, etc. The NSS covers almost 30,000 to 40,000 feess per year for the course and DST-Inspire covers almost 60k.

Campus Life :

Science Festival : Anvesha Cultural Festival : Ishya We have a very big library with all kinds of books, newspapers, e-books, fiction, non-fiction to study. Classrooms are really comfy, centralised ac and projectors im every classroom.

Admission :

I took IISER Aptitude Test. You should paas class 12% with a minimum percentage that they have mentioned on their official site. The exam has 4 subjects. The level is kind of JEE mains. There are two exams : Mid-sem and End-sem and 1-2 quiz in between the semester for every subject

IISER Thiruvananthapuram at a glance

Course Curriculum Overview:

The Integrated BS-MS course provides the first two years of Foundation course where the student is supposed to study all the four science subjects, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology, along with Computer science and interdisciplinary courses. It can be difficult for people without a strong maths background to study Mathematics in the first two years. This course basically introduces us to the interdisciplinary side of science, the side which lets us explore rather than the applicative side of science. Integrated BS-MS is good if a student wants to pursue research in any field.

Review of Iiser student

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course is totally based for those who are purely interested in science. It is not like engineering it's a long process of gradually developing your skills. If you are really interested to do something in science rather then 9 to 5 jobs.then it's for youu

IISER TVM through my eyes

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the course since I am really interested in science and related studies. Faculties are well qualified and knowledgeable. There are two exams conducted in each semester, a mid sem and an end-sem. Both these exams are held as per the academic calendar. Their results are also released fastly. Generally, exams are difficult and questions are above average level but the grading is relative and there is a higher chance to get passed.

IISER life

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course allows us to do 5 years of integrated BS MS. We only have to choose our major subject after two years of the foundation course. IISER allows us to do research-based education. All the faculties teaching us are top-grade faculties who have a minimum requirement of a Ph.D. and postdoc. They are each researching their respective topics. There are many professors and each has a group of Ph.D. candidates who are our TAs(Teaching Assistants) taking tutorials for us. We have mid-semester and end-semester exams along with assignments, group projects, labs, and lab exams.
