campus indeed needs much upgradation in infrastructure

Course Curriculum Overview :

the curriculum is designed in way that you have divesrse options,mostly the curriculum focuses on multidisciplinary.we have a 4 month semester so we have a midterm exam after 1.5 months and a endsem at the end

Class Size : 250Course Fees : INR 90000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

you can get a internship in academia, can work in a lab during the summer. you will generally not get any stipend for it. and there is no such company internship.1st year generally dont get a internship. from 2nd year it is usual to do a internship.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

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

Campus Life :

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.

Hostel Facilities :

The hostel is good for the 1st 2 years you will be 3 in a room, from 3rd year you will be in a double sharing room. Meal over here is affordable it is subsidised. and the hostel fee is nominal for a semester like 2000

Hostel Fee : INR 5000 per year

Admission :

You should get minimum of 60% in your 12th. Application can be found on iiser portal. Difficulty level is medium. you can get here by appearing iiser aptitude test . my rank was 594(gen) and i got IISER kolkata in the 2nd round. exam happens every year around june,july

Faculty :

the ratio between faculty and student is well managed like per faculty two students. all of them have phds , most of them have post docs, generally from abroad. you can interact whenever you want just drop a mail to them for appointment . they are well recieving

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.

Life At IISER Kolkata

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.

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.
