Likes
- The campus is beautiful and serene, has an open meditation centre on a hilltop, it's the landmark. Infrastructure is state of art
- Sports facilities have improved a lot, basketball and lawn tennis courts are available too
Dislikes
- It's a science based course. If you change your mind later on to exit academia, it's hard to find other options
- Placement cell has just been setup, with companies like mpharma visiting, but ofc they prefer PhD candidates over MSc
Course Curriculum Overview :
Exam pattern is semester wise, including midterms and endterms. Apart from that, regular and surprise quizzes take place. The curriculum is very comprehensive and interdisciplinary too. If you want to pursue science and academia ahead, this will be one of the best things that you could pursue.
Internships Opportunities :
You can apply for internships within the college or outside, under any other professors or companies, if you like. You get a 20k grant for doing summer internship. Mostly you have to mail professors and make your own correspondence for the internship, college is not mandated to help in that.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Fee is structured category wise. For gen/ obc candidates, first installment is 18k and then 10k for every semester. You get scholarship of 5k per month and 20k for summer internship, so 80k per year. Overall the education is practically paid for. Very affordable
Campus Life :
You can join clubs, there are the Social welfare club (Zaariya), literature club, drama and music club, sports club, yoga club, astronomy club and many more. Club inductions are carried out by seniors and members of the club. Infrastructure is very good with a furnished gym, playgrounds and courts, a two- floored library with many other facilities like journal subscriptions and all. Annual intra- and inter college fests are held. IISM is the main sports event of the year, where we play against IISERs and IISC.
Hostel Facilities :
.Hostels are of to types, soh (single occupancy)and doh (double occupancy), you get doh for two years, frim third year onwards soh is alloted. Hostel rooms are spacious, common washrooms, about 4 toilets and 6 bathrooms each for 28 people. Cleaned everyday, canteens and food were subpar but improving
Admission :
Admission is through NEST (National entrance screening test), forms are out in feb/ march, exam is conducted in June (once a year), has questions from maths, biology, physics and chemistry (best scores of three are considered), seats are reserved as per category
Faculty :
The faculty to student ratio could be low in the first year as the whole batch has almost all the same courses. But doesn't matter, professors are well larned and helpful. In 2nd year, after stream selection, the ratio improves. Professors are quite approachable and most live in the same campus and you can see them taking walks in the evenings.
