Overview of IISER Mohali

3.6Helpful

Likes

The campus environment is quite good. Seniors here are quite helpful.
We get good research environment and curiosity is encouraged by professors and peers.

Dislikes

The mess food is not the best in comparison to the price charged.
The campus is located in a very hot and polluted region.

IISER Mohali : another home with love and science

3.9Helpful

Likes

I love the idea of co-ed hostels in the campus. The environment it provides end all kind of discrimination from region to religion and gender.
The proffesor of the institute are very friendly and engaging. They meet abd talk with us even after official time and always willing to help

Dislikes

The lack of helpfulness of Admins of university is really disappointing, from supporting students welfare to caring about their health

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

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.

LIFE AT IISER MOHALI

4.5Helpful

Likes

The social life is quite good and you have so much diversity here, people come from different parts of India
Most faculties are quite good in teaching and almost all are doing active research

Dislikes

The overall schedule of a student can become quite hectic
Sometimes courses can be very high paced so you have to study hard, time management is the key

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

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

4.6Helpful

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

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

3.5Helpful

Likes

Laboratory exposure, working in labs and getting a first hand experience from the very beginning
Co-curricular activities, the annual tournament held in respective fields

Dislikes

Some theory classes are not upto the mark and left you in a bored state
Clubs don't get that much budget to held large scale activities which can increase the engagement with other colleges within the locality or beyond

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

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.

The continuos evaluation is the thing i dont like they should atleast give some break in between exams so student can take some rest

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

The fee structure for the general students is around 40k per sem. And it's a little bit less for the reserved students. There are many scholarships here like INSPIRE, KVPY, and merit cum mean (for reserved students). I got the merit cum mean for 2 semesters.

The administration is kind of rigid when it comes to be flexible for students.

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.
