What is life like at IISc Bangalore? I'm curious about undergraduate life, specifically about things other than academics, like social life. Also, what is the male-to-female ratio like??
Life at IISc is different from life at other universities owing to its uniqueness.
The campus of IISc is mesmerizing. The new hostels are pretty good and comfortable. In a mess, one has an option between 4 different types of meals(South Indian veg and non-veg; and North Indian veg and non-veg). Regardless of how good the mess menu is, one is bound to get bored of the taste eventually. But there are many food joints that deliver food just outside the hostels.
Academic life in the institute is quite hectic. Students have to spend a considerable chunk of their time in academics.
In IISc, there are numerous student-run clubs. It includes the major clubs like Dance, Music (Classical and Rock), Theatre and Sports. These clubs also conduct regular workshops and training for interested students. Apart from these clubs, there are plenty of other clubs like Nature club, Vivekananda Circle, Adventure Club, Notebook Drive(these club works for students and teachers from various schools to simplify lessons by incorporating play, models and fun activities), Bird watchers club, Photography club, Yoga club, the list is endless. Students from almost all parts of India study in IISc. Most of the festivals are celebrated by each and everyone irrespective of their background.
Gymkhana offers all sports facilities such as badminton, tennis, volleyball, basketball, swimming, etc.
IISc offers excellent infrastructure and facilities for most departments, and the professors are extremely qualified and experienced in their field. Also, many Nobel Laureates regularly visit to impart their share of knowledge.
IISc organizes an Open Day, which is the only day IISc allows anyone to visit the campus. On this day, IISc students display fascinating experiments, models, and posters. School and college kids can also participate in various quizzes and competitions organized on Open day.
IISc students, with the help of authorities, organize a fest called Pravega. It is similar to fests organized by most colleges. It includes competitions and concerts.
The number of male students is higher for engineering courses. The male-female ratio is higher for core sciences and undergraduate courses.

How do I calculate engineering aggregate percentage of 8 semesters in VTU?
Having a cousin who graduated from VTU and read online reviews here’s what I got to know. Firstly, you have to calculate the obtained marks divided by maximum marks obtained from 1 to 8 semesters * 100 to calculate your overall aggregate in engineering.
To calculate your final obtained marks in respective subjects. Final obtained marks will be different in many cases. For example,
- In the first case, if a student is cleared on the 1st attempt, then the 1st attempt marks will be their final marks.
- In the second case, if a student is cleared in the 2nd or 3rd attempt, then the final marks will be their 2nd or 3rd respectively.
Also, according to VTU, they use only 5th semester to 8th-semester 1st attempt marks for awarding the degree or rank's purpose. So, it can’t be considered as overall engineering aggregate marks.
If a company or an exam asks for overall engineering aggregate marks, one should use their final obtained marks from 1st semester to 8th-semester marks.
How do toppers at IIT, especially IIT-Kharagpur study?
A few of my friends were Institute toppers and I asked them about their study method. Most of my topper friends study just 2 days before exams in the library and then teach their friends and clear their doubts.
Another topper friend solved all the previous year question papers of the subject and uploads the solutions on the Facebook group a day before the exam. She never missed any class, had great handwriting and prepared great notes.
So basically, toppers , prepare for the exams way before most of us even begin. They are kind, selfless and are ready to help anyone who is unable to cope up.
Ultimately, every student has his unique way of studying.

How do I prepare for the IIM Indore IPM Aptitude test and personal interview? What books should I refer to prepare for IPM-AT? What is the syllabus for the Aptitude Test?
Frankly, the preparation tips for the IIM Indore IPM Aptitude test and personal interview are best understood from a student who's been through the process recently, not a coaching instructor or institute.
The aptitude test to interview score ratio is 60:40. The study material for the course can't really help you much. Sharpen your math skills if they are lacking. It's a must because quant is a stress if your math skills aren't up to par. The computer provides you with a calculator, but it can only perform basic addition and subtraction. If you are proficient in English, verbal is simple. No point in opening the dictionary to figure out new words or trying to mug them up. Read the papers and any classic literature you can get your hands on. The rest would probably work out. The majority of the reading was at the CBSE level. Your reading speed is the only potential stumbling block. Reading newspapers will also help you if you are chosen for the interview. The term "electronic commerce" refers to the sale of electronic goods. Also, the break between the test and interview is a good time to brush up on your class 12 syllabus.
The one thing to remember is to never lie. They'll see right through you, and trouble may be on the way. Presentation is essential. Don't be scared to ask for a little time to ponder upon a question, but don't be overconfident.
The key is self-assurance. After all, the panelists and the test are only attempting to assess the breadth of your knowledge, your self-awareness, and the goals you wish to achieve. Don't compare yourself with others or think of the multitude of kids trying their luck too. You will succeed there if you are aware that IIM IPM is where your heart truly lies.
