IISER Thiruvananthapuram Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Curriculum is very research driven, and it is very flexible too. Course is as per the New Education Policy and is relevant to modern industrial needs. However the Curriculum is all around Pure Sciences, like the B.Sc but just the college is much better than a normal BSc college. First two year is given to students to get along with subjects that they want to study in future, in the third year they choose their Majors. Quizzes are frequent and occurs biweekly, while Exams occurs every month and so.

The curriculum is basically designed to prepare you and your brain for thinking about real world problems and applying the concepts into them thus trying to solve them , study methods are good and vary as per professor.

The curriculum trains students in various research fields, including lab and theory. The course prepares a student to get either a industry position, or PhD position. The course curriculum can be improved by porividing more exposure to students who havent experienced, these fields. Exams are good, easy if youve understood the course content. These exams are based on a wide information of the topic, and are not limited to just one textbook.

Since I am just in my first year right now, the courses I have are fairly introductory. But since we have to study PCMB, Earth Science, Programming and a Humanities course just in the first year, it's fairly hard to manage. we have 2 quizzes, a mid sem exam and an end sem exam in each semester typically at the end of each consecutive month (4 month semester). The marking scheme, syllabus, paper pattern, time, difficulty etc are all subject to change according to the professor.

Yeah I chosense course because I did not get any other college discours is very good in I like the curriculum and how it is designed and the professor are very good and yes that's all about else do you want bro

As it's a research institution, more emphasis is given to academia and research instead of placements. We have an active placement cell, but still, it's lackluster compared to engineering colleges. The average package hovers around 10 lpa, and only a handful of people get placements. Most opt for Phd or an MBA.

I am very passionate towards chemistry, and the institute's reputation and research in the field led me towards choosing this curriculum. As the final year of the course has no coursework, and it is solely for research and writing a master's thesis, which is very relevant to further academic pursuits, it is obvious to say that the curriculum prepares the students well. The frequency of exams already mentioned earlier, their difficulty can vary as per the professor and the course itself. Generally, it is moderate-easy, sometimes towards the harder side.

4th and 5th semester students can get ready for placements. There are no such companies actively participating directly. Its a kind of informal communication that the institute makes to companies and vice versa. Placement cell is not much active here. But the reputation helps you get a good deal yourself when you reach out.

IISER does not release offical placement data, but placements are low as most of the students go for higher education. Avg package for BS students being around 7lpa, and for BSMS students it is around 19lpa as per 2023

Placement cell are not established yet and this year they will start on campus placement before that they are connecting online with companies to students and they got placed but I think this year they will develop a placement cell . In this college most of the student pursue higher education rather than taking jobs so this the thing and employability is around 95-98% from given data and placement cell is not established but most students pursue higher education so there is not avg package but median package is there 18lpa of 2021-2022 and 8 lpa of 2022-2023 .my plans after getting my degree is to pursue mba from IIM ahemdabad or Stanford or Harvard any of them .
