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.

Class Size : 229Course Fees : INR 98000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

You can apply in any college and if you have good grade and lab experience ypu will easily get it through recommendation of the profs. You can also apply in foreign colleges. In first year it is diffucul to get internships but 2nd year onwards you can do internship. You can also do your internship in the college itself.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

In the odd semester the course fee around 55 thousands and in even semester it is around 45 thousands including hostle fee mess estabishment fee medical fee etc. In BSMS if you are a fresher and you have enough grades in boards to be in top one persent you will get Inspire scholarship, which is around 60k per annum. for financial assitance you can apply for education loan and if you are sc/st you will get 100% fee wiever. campus placement are very less because most of them are going in reseach field.

Campus Life :

Campus life is super fun. there are heardly any rules and regulation. There are also good sports facilities lik football cricket basket ball volley ball kabbadi swimming chess as well as many cultural facilty like art club, music club, litareture club, dance club etc. there is too much freedom in the campus. The infrastrucute is quiet good. There is too much greenery in the campus and clean campus except bacside of mess.

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.

Hostel Fee : INR 3000 per year

Admission :

You can get into IISER by giving IAT exam ( IISER Aptitude Test). around 50k - 100 k student aply for the exam sp it is quiet easy to get in. Question level is moderate. for general you need to score 100/180 (rank 1500) to get into IISER K. for obc the cut off is around 70-80/180 (rank 2500). for sc st I am not clear about the cut off but if you score decent 50+ you will easily get in . After the exam within one month admission process starts. you have to fill the college preference list before the result are decleared and during filling up the admission form.

Faculty :

Facuties are highly qualified. All of them are done their Phd from renowed institute like Cambridge, Max plank Institute, IISc Bangalore etc. Facuties are helping in nature if you have any doubts regarding the course or out side of the course they will clear it out within the class or out side the class.

IIT kharagpur is the best

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am new to this curriculum but I am happy with my decision. Median package of this year is 21 lakhs in this course and faculty are too friendly. Exams are a little on the tougher side. We will have field trips for the research purpose overall it's a very underrated branch And we can try non core if we want to...since there is a lot of free time

Life in KGP

Placement Experience:

The campus placement is offered by CDC. After completing 2 years you get to sit in CDC interviews for internships, all the top companies for example google, BCG, McKinskey, and may others visits the college. And after 7th semesters you get to sit for placements. The highest packages goes around 2Cr. You opt for any profile SDE, data, consulting, product. I plan to get placed in product management after my degree.

My Journey in IIT Kharagpur

Placement Experience:

Placements are good but you have to put a lot of efforts during the time of recession. Thus is the worst phase of the college life where you become stressed, selfish, and nervous. This is the tough scenario to get high packages.

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

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.

IIT KHARGPUR- WORTH IT?

Placement Experience:

from 7th semester (for btech students), 9th semester (for dual degree students) students are eligible for campus placements. there are numerous companies which visit the campus...and generally nearly all students get placed during the placement season, but recently there has been recession and companies are not taking less number of the students than they usually do.

A detailed review of RKMRC, if u are really keen to take admission here.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was already very interested in economics. My college has a healthy student to teacher ratio. For every 1teacher there is 4 students. Almost of our faculties have phD and master's done. The faculty is very interactive and makes sure the concepts are clear The exams are fairly standard and the exam timings are optimal.
