Course Curriculum Overview :

Course curriculum are different for different departments students. Like i was in physics department,, they give assignment, quizes and and midsem and endsem and the marks their varry depending on the course teacher decision. I selected physical science and i am quite satisfied with my course selection as the lab experience was very good. Teacher take 2 or 3 teaching assistant to help the students in the classroom, Teaching assistant are actually seniors and they help students in very friendly way.

Fees and Financial Aid :

Overall Semester fee per semester( per 6 months) for BS-MS course is approx 43000 to 44000 which includes 7500 for mess establishment charge and hostel and wifi charges. Uf we talk about only tution fee , it is 33000. For sc-st , tution fee is waived. They only have to pay other charges excluding tution fee that is approx 9000 to 10000. If you are qualified kvpy then you get inspire scholarship which is 70000 per year approx. Othan this , if you belong to poor family being obc and general, yes there are funds available for their easiness but you have to ask for it in the academic section. I got admission in 2019 that time per semester fee was 41000 now, in 2024 it is 44000 per semester, now you can easily calculate how much it is increasing per year.

Campus Life :

There are many social clubs in this college. I was not involved in clubs but clubs was performing quite good. Social club like EK PEHEL is fantastic club to help the poor kids around the town. Student of our college teach the poor kids freely and provide books and all necessary things to them.

Hostel Facilities :

For bs ms students, it was mandatory to live in the campus hostel. Hostel rooms were big , 2 students per room from 2 year to final year but for first year, 3 students per room. Girl and boys hostel are seperate but they can visit each other room by submitting their id card at the security bench.

Admission :

I took admission in this college on the basis of jee advanced score. I took admission because i was eligible for the fellowship but i didn't get because the government removed the scheme that year. So i was quite disappointed. I also selected in IIT MANDI bio engineering and INDIAN INSTITUTE OF PETROLEUM (IIP) and i was gett guaranteed placement in iip vizag. It was my wrong decision not to go there.

Faculty :

Faculties have seperate appartment to live in the campus. Almost professors are quite good scientist. They have done excellent work in their field. You can visit their lab and can experience the amount of knowledge they have. Some professors lack teacher experience beside they are good scientist. Amd some are excellent in teaching the class.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Till now, the basics are being taught, I have talked to seniors of my department and they say that our course is good and curriculum is updated, it will be helpful if they included more computered learning for chemicals such as using computers to synthesize specific material or to emulate how said chemical will perform in certain situations. Our midsems started just 1 month after we came here, I think there should be more time given for the first exam as the students need to adjust as well.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In my opinion, the relevance is extremely subjective, in certain subjects we learn way more than what is expected from undergraduate students, in others our knowledge level is comparitively less. It depends on the faculty member taking the course honestly. It changes course to course.

Placement Experience:

There's an entire department dedicated to internships and placements and the information surrounding it. I am not sure about from which semester students become eligible for campus placements, but it must be around after the 3rd year. Of course the whole purpose of IISER is based on research rather than placements, as a result most of the students opt further studies than a job after their completion of MS

Placement Experience:

Students can sit for placement in their 5th year after completing the BS-MS course. Company like ITC infotech , TCS etc visit to offer placement. As iiser is a Institute mainly for research studies , not many students sit in placement, they opt for higher studies in national or in some foreign Institutes. From what i know the highest package in 2023 was 48 lpa and average package was 7 lpa.

Placement Experience:

The placement in Our college is quite good.Normally around 80% of the people get placed through CDC which is the on campus organisation that connects students with companies.The placement cell even provides some foreign internships and jobs due to immense amount of connections they have around the world.They even conduct workshops to help the students know about the industry and acquire soft skills which are needed to get placed.

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.

Placement Experience:

Placements are good. Top companies like Apple, Microsoft and Google do offer placements and PPOs to students. Students are eligible for placements in their final year. Highest offers go up to as high as Rs. 2 Cr or 4 Cr. About 750+ offers including PPOs were made during first few days of the start of the placement season this year in IIT Kharagpur. Overall placement percentage as been above 85%. Profiles of placements vary, including a good mix of both core companies and tech companies. I intend to pursue MS in Economics or MBA, depending on future interests.
