IISER Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

curriculum is purely different as compared to different engeneering institutions . as it is autonumous instiution it as different curriculum and this curriculum is very binefit to students as improve their own skills.

The course for the first year is easy overall , maybe challenging for biology students because involvement of Maths in the curriculum but they can decrease their load by practicing Maths problems, asking doubts, approaching the instructors or their personal mentors. Otherwise the course is mixed in a good way with theoretical and practical part. Labs are conducted of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and CS in first year. You can choose CS as an minor in higher classes.

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.

I have always been fascinated by the researchers or innovators i have read about in books or newspapers. I have always wanted to do something that would be helpful for present and upcoming generations and there's nothing better than new innovations. The curriculum is mostly based on making us more interested in the present world and discoveries inclining us towards the world of research opening our minds to things we never thought about. There are quizez very frequently to check is everyone's getting it or not which I think is a really good way to get everyone involved.

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.

The course syllabus is very broad and well researched. All departments ensure that in first two years all students are exposed to a variety of subdivisions of the science majors taught in the campus. Exam difficulty and frequency is entirely dependent on the professor, some keep it very light while some make you want to drop out.

Campus placement is average but most opt for PhD. This doesn't mean I will. I am preparing myself for tech industry and trying to build something of my own. Entrepreurship is greatest passion one can have.20-30 percent placement rate.

The course curriculum is quite good especially after the new NEP rule that is made compulsory for every institute. The new style of credit division and introduction of new labs are quite interesting. The teaching style and course implementation is also appreciable.

I was preparing for the medical exam in 2014-2016, i appeared in 2016 AIPMT exam 2016, but did not get better college and so i heard about IISER exam that we can we go for higher study from here. i was interested that i can go to the medical research after completing my degree from IISER. yes we can go to ICMR and research field in any department if you have qualified from IISER with your dedication. you can go foreign for higher study like Phd. There shoud be more laboratry so that it easy for individual practices. The exam taken in IISER is semester wise with fraction like mid sem and end sem. with the perfect schedule. The exam of IISER is good level in each deparments.

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.
