Review on IISER Bhopal for BS-Economics

Dislikes

  • For the first year, there is a large class size for which the teacher-student interaction becomes less .
  • The institute has no Swimming pool provided. Also the campus is far away from the main city, therefore students have to travel 5-10 kms for the market (Shopping centre is there in campus where a student is provided with basic facilites.)

Course Curriculum Overview :

Economics is an emerging subject , hence i decided to choose this course. As this college provides BS-Economics , therefore i decided to take it. this curriculum also prepares for real-world applications, mainly in the subject, a student has to read real-world based data. The frequency of exams are similar to that of BS-MS student and timings of exams are released a week before the exams.

Placement Experience :

For BS-Economics students,institute provides placement oppurtunities. Median package for BS-ECO students for UG-4 years if 17.5 lacs per annum. But only a handful of 10-15 students are able to grab campus-placement oppurtunites and rest all prepare for other competitive exams or go for off-campus placements. The highest package offered for this degree is 34 lacs per annum . companies like delloite, nomura, barclays etc. come to this institute for placements.

Fees and Financial Aid :

The Tuition fee for BS-Economics student for the first semester is Rs 36700. Also, for the first semester, a student has to pay one time fee of Rs 15000. Hostel and other campus amenities(user charge) charge for Rs 6700 and Rs 9700 for one semester. Therefore for the first semester, a student has to pay Rs 68100 (For general and OBC/OBC-NCL). The institue provides full tuition fee waiver for SC/ST students. Every year, tuition fees may increase by Rs 1000. All batches do not have same tuition fee structure and vary batch-wise. The institute also provides many scholarships for financially unstable students. One of them is DST-INSPIRE Scholarship which a student can avail if he/she remains in the top 1% in his 12th respective Boards. Only BS-MS(Natural- Sciences) student can avail this scholarship. No BS-Eng. or BS-Eco student can access this scholarship. Also, this scholarship is only given to freshers and no dropper can take this scholarship. One more scholarship is Shraman Scholarship . A student who has his family income less than Rs 2,50,000 is eligible for this scholarship. This scholarship provides financial aid of Rs 25000 per year. There are many more scholarships which are based on state to state and also for girl-child.

Campus Life :

The college has many fests ongoing every week as it contains many student clubs in it. ENTHUZIA, the annual cultural fest of IISER Bhopal is a 3-day long running fest where artists come from different place to perform here.Mainly, it is conducted in the second semester of the year. ARMAGEDDON, the technical fest of this college where many events like Game-competiton,Live-streaming, Robotics stalls , all come for show-case. SINGULARITY, the Science fest of IISER bhopal , where students conduct many fun activities and personalities come for talks etc. This institute also has Luminaire(Movie club-fest),Arts and Letters(FALC),Continnum(Maths-club fest).

Hostel Facilities :

A student is assigned a double sharing room which has an almirah, 2 cup-boards, a Fan, 2 tube-lights, 2 desks for personal use and a common study table, one lamp per person, WIFI accessiblity and LAN Support. The meal quality is average to best, and the menu is decided by the mess commitee which is run by the student body itself, therefore if students have complaints, the committee can impose fine on the mess. The registration for hostel is done alongwith the counselling . No separate work is done for hostel and the fees for both hostel and mess use is as less as 6700 which is to be paid alongwith the tuition fee at the starting of the semester. All students are mandatory to live in hostel. One cannot rent a room outside the campus and become a day-scholar, he/she has to be hosteller to study in this college.

Admission :

I decided to choose BS-Economics for my degree. This college was among the few national govt. colleges which provides this degree. Also , among all national research institutes, this college provides this degree. IISER Bhopal takes students from 3 different exams : i)JEE-Advanced , ii)IAT(IISER Aptitute Test), iii)KVPY A student who qualifies JEE Advance is eligible for IISER Bhopal. Aso, a student who qualifies IAT is eligible for IISER Bhopal. KVPY stream is now stopped , hence a student cannot come through his method. A student who qualifies JEE Advance can come by JOSAA counselling and the one wo qualified IAT has its own counselling later and can fill the preference for IISERs.

Faculty :

For the first year, there is batch size of approximately 400 students. So, the student to teacher interaction becomes very low. The faculties are available in their respective rooms, so a student can directly contact and meet them. But also, 7-8 Teaching Assistants are provided which make the work easier and solve the doubts if their is a rush and tutorials are taken by them for the problem solving. A semester has 4 exams , namely 2 quizzes , 1 mid-semester exam and 1 end-semester exam. Mid-semester recess is provided for 1 week. The weightage of these exams are decided by the instructor during the course.

Night Life :

IISER Bhopal has a unisex gymnasium in the crescent building, and a separate females-only gymnasium . For hanging out, there is IDEATION HUT, which is in the centre of hostel area , thereby all students can access it easily. Also there is a 3-floor libraby in which the first two floors contains book and study materials, one can issue them easily with his/her ID-card. The third floor is generally the E-Library which contains computers for Labs, or for soft materials. ALongside the library, there is Computer Centre which is also a part of the library. NEarby that , There is CCD(Cafe coffee day), where one can chill with his/her friends. The campus is full of greenery and is very secure to roam at night, infact the night-life of campus is very great.

Students are exposed to labs from the first year of college which gives us hands on experience to conduct experience and develop scientific rigor. Exam season turns out to be hectic for some depending on the courses of individuals. There are some courses which are hard to score.

Placement Experience:

From 8th semester onwards student can become eligible for the placements. Mostly students here opt for USD in foreign universities rather than sitting for placements and going to corporate sector. Hence placement scenario is not that great. Steel companies like Barclays numura Bank and Dr. Reddy's lab usually recruit students. The highest package last year was 31 lakhs per my plan is to pursue higher education after the degree

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that great because of being a research institute. Mostly companies don't visit again to the campus because most of the students don't sit for placement and go for higher studies in foreign universities. Still companies like Nomura Bank, Barclays , Dr Reddy's lab have visited in recent years. The average package was around 15 LPA because of less number of student sitting for placements.

Placement Experience:

Since IISER Bhopal is a research based institute, the placements here are not judged as in aspect of job placements after bachelor's degree, rather people here generally go for higher studies. But regardless the knowledge and experience gained here by people help them apply for any organisation off campus

Course Curriculum Overview:

The core research-based curriculum made me opt for this course. The flexibility of choosing 3 out of 6 subjects in second year is perhaps one of the best part of this course. The teaching methods employed are excellent and the design of the course is well structured

Course Curriculum Overview:

The books used in the course material are of international level. The curriculum prepares a student so practically for academic career and gives exposure to research experiences. The total number of exams are 4-6 in whole semester and the end semester exam paper is mostly difficult amongst them all .
