The faculty at IISER Tirupati is highly qualified, with a focus on enhancing student interaction and mentoring. The faculty-to-student ratio starts at 1:273 and improves as students choose their majors by the fourth semester. Each student has a mentor throughout the five-year course. The academic structure includes quizzes, mid-semester, and end-semester exams, which are considered challenging due to mandatory math and biology courses early on. Faculty recruitment is ongoing to improve the student experience.
The institution offers various internship opportunities, both in India and abroad, often facilitated by professors' recommendations, although students need to independently secure positions. Stipends vary, and internships can be either paid or unpaid. IISER Tirupati also has an exchange program for international work experience. The cost of education is approximately Rs. 50,000 per semester for general/EWS/OBC students, inclusive of tuition, hostel, and other facilities, while SC/ST candidates pay about Rs.
6,000 with tuition waived. Mess charges average around Rs. 7,000 per month and are not included in the fees. Scholarships from programs like INSPIRE, KVPY, and NSP can significantly reduce costs, and private scholarships from Reliance and Tata are also available. The fee structure may see slight variations annually, typically not exceeding a Rs. 5,000 increase. Students can further offset costs through internships with stipends.
