Fees and Financial Aid

fees hike is not as such for me as they have already told us the amount at the starting and that would be the same throughout the course no increament.you will need around 3000 a month for mess , no as such scholarship provided by the institute

we kind of celebrate every cultural festival over here from all regions of India, we have a library which have all the books you may require during the course duration. we have cricket ground,tennis court,football ground,volleyball court,kabbadi mat and many more things.

IISER Kolkata review by student

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course for the first year is easy overall , maybe challenging for biology students because involvement of Maths in the curriculum but they can decrease their load by practicing Maths problems, asking doubts, approaching the instructors or their personal mentors. Otherwise the course is mixed in a good way with theoretical and practical part. Labs are conducted of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and CS in first year. You can choose CS as an minor in higher classes.

IIT Kharagpur - The dream college of JEE Aspirants | Detailed and Comprehensive Review

Placement Experience:

Campus Placement season starts here in IIT Kharagpur in the end of the pre-final semester or the fisrt semester of the final year. Companies start visiting the campus in the month of December every year for Phase 1, and in January for Phase 2. Top Product based companies like - Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Samsung, Netflix, Uber, Zomato etc..come for placements and give high CTC like 40 LPA and even above for Software profiles. There are various profiles available in companies coming for placements - software, Data, machine Learning, Finance, Product, consulting, UI/UX designing and so on. Almost 80 % students get placed in our college every year and number of offers is as close as 1800 every year. Many students get pre-placement offers as well, after the completion of their internships and they are not eligible for placements. I am planning to sit for palcements this year and aiming for software, data analysis, consulting and UI/UX designing roles.

IISER Kolkata review by student

I was a NEET aspirant but couldn't make it their due to high cutoff and latest year scam. I decided to choose BAMS college but got a good rank in IISER Aptitude Test so decided to come here. This was because IISER is always a good option for good exposure in the world of research and IISER Kolkata is one those prestigious institution. For admission in an IISER one has to clear an entrance test called IAT(IISER Aptitude Test). Secure good rank and should clear the cutoff. After clearing the cutoff one can secure a seat in one of the 7 IISERs, IISc Bangalore, IIT-Madras(for one specific course)....Read More

Generally the application form released in the may first week and the exam conducted in the june month and after that counselling happend on the basis of AIR. In Previous year IISER selection was by three modes, IISER Aptitude test, JEE Advanced rank, KVPY. But now only one mode is happening only by IISER test rank. if you are interested to take admission in IISERs so keep prepared at NEET and JEE level question. you will have to study PCMB for good rank. you cant get good rank by either PCM or PCB....Read More
