IISER Mohali Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The course curriculum is best i guess because everything is balanced in first year we have toh learn basic sciences of every subject then from 2nd year we are able toh take premajors which soon in third year become our major

Teaching methods are relative to the instructors. The theory classes are beneficial and electives should be chosen wiswly depending on minors you wish to take. Labs are interactive and occur once weekly.

The course curriculum is very nice, as it is a national level institute of the government. It is excellent for people who want to pursue research. There are excellent faculties that encourage people to take up research. The degree is recognized worldwide. I personally don't think the frequency and timing of exams needs any improvement. The difficulty level is also not very high.

Students get eligible for placements in the 5th year. Deloitte, mckinsy like companies come to campus placements. Highest package is 18lacs pa. Very less number of students sit for placements. A large number of people go abroad for phd.

The course structure now concist of one core year, one pre-major year and three major years. In the co year we have to study all the subjects available, in pre major two of them and in major, one. For now we are the first batch to have pre major(before it was two core years). So its experimental and hence we get delayed response from the admin. This should be improved. This curriculum teaches well enough to get on with the modern day research problem from the bachelor years only. And abou the exams, we have continuous evaluation, three major exams per semester.

The curriculum is set in a way to encourage for further research. It does prepare for real-world applications and future academic persuit. In general the courses are quite interactive but sometimes if feels like it's running faster than what an average student can grasp. Sometimes there are problems with exam since there are three exams in semester of four months and at the end it feels like we are only studying for the sake of exams

The course structure has very good HSS courses, as well as all the other courses and very well balanced, some of them are hard but through consistent learning you can get an A pretty easily. With the new introduction of premajors, even the need to do 4 subjects for 2 years has been reduced and we can now opt for 2 subjects after 1st year. The frequency of exams is a bit hectic, since we have to appear for 2 midsems and 1 endsem in 4 months with additional quizzes and assignments in between.

THIS IS A RESEARCH ORIENTED COURSE BS-MS, basically an integrated 5-year bsc msc plan but in a more structured and on a research basis. There is at least 1 professor on 30 students I think not sure. And all professors are well-qualified postdocs from good foreign universities. Term exams were divided into 2 midsems and one end sem and the level of paper is the same as what professors taught in class.

I chose this course because I was interested in research. The student-to-faculty ratio here is 30:1. They all are postdocs and all of them have done their postdocs from good foreign universities. Here mid sems are conducted every month in total 2 midsems and one endsem is conducted every semester, the exams are not too tough if you go to classes and understand things conceptually.

I have chosen this college because this college is one of the best college in the field of basic science and in research are. This college has good alumni rate in foreign universities such as MIT, University of California etc. Its professors also have PhDs and post docs from these universities. IISER Mohali has very good infrastructure.
