Name: Bachelor of Science [BS] + Master of Science [MS] (Physical Science)
Rating: 3.6 (11 reviews)

The BSc Computer Science with Cognitive System course at IISER Mohali is merit-based, with offers sent directly to applicants. The institution has a strong academic environment, featuring 97 faculty members across six departments and an overall faculty-to-student ratio of about 1:7.5. Faculty members are highly qualified, with many having international recognition and backgrounds from prestigious institutions like CERN. The course curriculum includes three exams per semester with additional quizzes and assignments.

The academic fee ranges from Rs 35,000 to Rs 40,000 per semester, inclusive of hostel accommodation but exclusive of mess fees, which cost around Rs 15,000. Over the past five years, fees have increased by nearly 50%, with current tuition fees around Rs 50,000 per semester for general students, while SC students pay Rs 7,000-Rs 9,000. Tuition fees rise by 10% annually, with a late fee penalty of Rs 500 per day. IISER Mohali does not have a dedicated placement cell, focusing instead on producing scientists, with many students pursuing PhDs.

While formal placements are limited, some companies hire directly from the campus. The institute emphasizes research, offering mandatory and elective internships during summer and winter breaks, often leading to publications. Scholarships such as INSPIRE and KVPY offer financial support, with stipends and summer funds varying based on academic achievement. Loan facilities are available on campus, but job opportunities during coursework are limited. Scholarships and financial aid options are offered, including merit-cum-need, EWS, and support for SC/ST students.

IISER Mohali Review of 2nd year Under-graduate

Likes

The fee is really low compared to other government institutes

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fee paid per semester has been around 7-9k for me from last 4 semesters as a SC. For generals it has been around 35k per semester. It includes hostel fee, examination fee,gym fee,lab fee, hostel seats and table fee, water and electricity fee which ranges from about 300-3000 for each. This value may change for general category. their is a late fee payment also which increases by 500 per day not paid. The institute provides with DST scholarship which is around 60,000 per year and MCM for other categories which have CGPI of above 7. It also offers other scholarships like reliance etc which are private

Life at IISER M: A hitchhiker's guide

The fees is on the higher side considering that this is an Institute of National Importance. For the 1st semester I had to pay Rs 44190 (tuition fees, hostel fees and all other fees combined), and from thereon, every even semester my batch pays Rs 37500 and in the odd semesters we pay Rs. 40190. This includes all kind of fees you need to pay (except for mess fees: that is handled by the Mess Committee and varies every month, with an average of Rs 4000-4500 per month for a 3 meal plan). You need to pay the consolidated amount every semester unless you are from a reserved category that gets tuition fees exemption, which constitutes the majority of this component (around Rs. 33500). The tuition fees increases every year by 10%, and right now the total fees is somewhere near 55k for the latest MS24 batch. Hostels are mandatory so you need to pay hostel fees. There is a merit cum need financial help available available for EWS category and other reserved categories and is around Rs 2500 if you have a CPI >= 8 (it is lower for caste based reservation). But do not rely on it - IISER M Accounts is extremely slow when it comes to payments. Mess also provides financial help if needed but it is very limited. If you need help in applying for external scholarships (such as bonafide certificates and the like) or for educational loan then of course you will receive plenty of help from administration. One final thing I would point out is that compared to other IISERs, IISER Mohali has the lowest fees.

IISER Mohali : another home with love and science

Student Snaps:

The fees in the colleges are increasing continiously due to poor policies of the government. The cost of survivng in academia for a middle class person has became very difficult and it keeps increasing. The cost of each semster is from 50k to around 60k, which differs in every semester. The significant scholarships are INSPIRE which provide around 80k per year. Also reliance foundation and other scholarships give few lakh as scholarship. Financial aid for sc/st student are avaliable in the campus. But any job or stipend is not avaliable for studnets during their course works.

Dislikes

Sometimes courses can be very high paced so you have to study hard, time management is the key

The course is not that expensive and it can be quite affordable for most people. There's also option of inspire scholarships which is based on result in class 12th board exams in which you get 60k per year plus additional 20k if you are doing summer internship outside. But there's no such thing as campus placements as of now here

Life at IISER

Scholarship like DSP and INSPIRE scholarships are avilable and you can avail them if you have a good score in 12th boards. And yes they do offer financial assistance as well Campus employment opportunities are rather low as this institute majorly focuses on research areas and u can only survive if you are legitimate passionate about the subjects you are going to major in and contribute to the sciences

IISER Mohali : A potential candidate

The tuition fees is around 50000 RS per semester and mess fees is around 15000 RS for GEN candidate, the hostel fee is included in the tuition fees and the increase per year isn't too drastic. But you get reduction if you belong to SC, ST or have financial lacking. College offers INSPIRE scholarship to those first year students who got under 10000 AIR in JEE Advanced or are in top 1% in board exams that year. INSPIRE gets you a scholarship of 5000 per month for 5 years along with extra 20000 for internships in other institutes or facilities. Institute also provide scholarship based on Income and CPI from second year onwards. You can pursue PhD after completion of the degree and get into academic , can join R&D industry etc.

IISER Mohali, be ready to get introduced to academic roller coaster:)

Fees are being hiked every year which almost increased 50% in the last five years. Scholarship options are available like Inspire and institutional scholarships for the EWS category. For Inspire scholarship you need to have your class 12 score in the range mentioned by DST.

Welcome to Mohali

Fees increase every year for newer batches, but remained consistent within a batch. I got the KVPY scholarship which included 5k/month + 20K summer contingency fund for the first three years and 7k/month + 28k summer contingency fund for the final two years.

Jagdeep Sihag's Review On Indian Institute Of Science Education And Research - [IISER], Mohali

Course Curriculum Overview:

IISERs have scientist as professor who teach the students for nearly 1 hour for 3 days in week. IISER Mohali is more famous and reputation for Biological Science but as I am doing Major in Physics I can say that faculties of Physics department is also very good. Chemistry department has also some very nice faculties like Dr. Debashis Adhikari.

Kripa Nath's Review On Indian Institute Of Science Education And Research - [IISER], Mohali

Course Curriculum here is one of the best designed. First 2 years, students have all the PCBM courses(compulsory for PCM as well as PCB students) then from 3rd year they will choose a major subject and then they will proceed for that. How much priority is given to theory courses, the same is given to lab courses as well to get the practical knowledge which is not very well given in any other institutes. 5 Year of academic life with full of enjoyment. Also, the Faculty members are great enough to lead you towards a great Research life in future. Their references and guidance are very helpful.
