An overview of IISER Kolkata: academics, research, hostel, mess, etc

Likes

IISER Kolkata has very good academic infrastructure. The Research complex is really very big. Teaching labs, lecture halls and all other complexes are centrally air conditioned.
The Student Monitored Canteen serves very good quality food. If you are a non vegetarian, you will not miss you home food much (of course home food is the best). I have stayed in hostel for 8 years befor joining IISER, and trust me iiserK is the best
Faculties are really world class Scientists (check their Research profile and H-index on Google scholar). Most of them are excellent teachers ( yes, not all are good teachers, exceptions do exist).

Dislikes

Single room accomodation is not provided to hostelers as there is shortage of hostel rooms in iiserK.
Far from the city of Kolkata, it has pros and cons both. The good thing is there is lot of space and Greenery but the disadvantage is that we have to go really far for shopping and other necessities.
There are lots of snakes in the campus during the rainy season.

Academic structure and curriculum in the campus

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.

What are the internship opportunities in the campus?

Internship opportunities are good. Students can do internships on campus in different labs in their respective departments. They can also apply for internships in other institutions. Students generally do research internships. Very few students go for internships in companies, so there is no official data about the companies offering internship to IISER-K students.

Fees of the course per semester and scholarship

Per semester fees is around 50k(including academic and hostel) (excluding mess fees). One can complete the course in (50×10)k +(50k to 60k)×5= 7.5 to 8 lacs (college fees+other expenses) (There is academic fees relaxation for SC/ST students so they can complete the course in 3.5lacs to 4 lac Rs. There are scholarships available: 1. Inspire scholarship, 60k per year +20k(for summer internship) 2. State government scholarships(if provided by the respective domicile State government) 3.private scholarships : Relaance scholarship, 200k (one time) etc.

Various events, sports and clubs of the college

Annual fest of IISER Kolkata is Inquivesta, generally takes place between March and April. Library is well equipped with all necessary books of different fields of science. There is a good collection of journals too, college also provides access to lots of science journals through the Myloft app. Sports facilities are also very good but yes we cannot compare it with old IITs. The cultural clubs of IISER Kolkata are awesome, IISER Kolkata has been the champion of interest IISER -niser-iisc cultural meet in 2022, 2023 consecutively. There are different clubs like, music club, coding club, drama club, astronomy club, dance club, cricket club, tennis club badminton club, and a lot of other clubs. There is a club called "Ek pehal" , it helps underprivileged children thought different outreach programs like providing them free tuitions in weekends and vacations, organising different cultural and training programs for them, etc .

What are facilities available in the college hostel?

Hostel rooms are equipped with bed, chair, table, almirah,etc. Rooms are either double sharing or tripple sharing for, BS-MS, MS students. Mess food is excellent. Registration fees and hostel fees are including the semester fees i.e. PhD students generally don't get hostel rooms, so they get a good amount of HRA, rented rooms are easily available just outsi6the campus.

Faculty and learning experience in the campus

Faculties are really top notch in their respective fields. All of them joined the institute with years of PhD and post doctoral experience with very strong research profile. Most of them teach really good, some are not very good in teaching although they are great scientists. Interaction with faculty is very common here, we can approach them with doubts in their office hours, right after the class, or we can mail them to schedule a meet. They are very flexible and supportive about interacting with students.

What is the admission process of the college?

One needs 60% minimum marks in 12th, (55% for SC/ ST)to appear in IISER aptitude test. Every year the application forms release in the month of April at the official website of IISER aptitude test (IAT). There are reservations for OBC, EWS, SC, ST, PWD, Kashmiri migrant. The difficulty level may vary, it is more or less similar to jee mains( some questions asked are of jee advanced level, some are very easy especially in biology and chemistry).

IISER Kolkata review by student

Admission:

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).

IISER Kolkata: 1 Answered Question

Am I making a mistake by preferring IISER Kolkata over IIT Kharagpur MSc Integrated Physics?

Malabika RoychowdhuryBS-MS Dual Degree Biology & Junior Research Fellow, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata

No, it is not a mistake to prefer IISER Kolkata over IIT KGP for an MSc integrated course in Physics. You are going to get a pure science degree so it makes more sense to get the degree from an institute that focuses on that degree. IIT KGP is popular for its engineering degrees. So, you will be mostly surrounded by people who are pursuing engineering degrees. You won’t get to meet many like-minded students. The course structure of integrated MSc at IITs is also outdated.

At IISER Kolkata, you will get a decent course structure and better faculties for an integrated MSc.
