There are more than 400 faculty members at IISC Bangalore from all the departments so it is difficult to mention the best professor as no one can interact with all of the faculties. However, given below are a few of the professors who inspired the current students and the alumni.

Dr. M.K. Gunasekaran is an excellent teacher from DESE. His classes are very interesting. His way of teaching electronics subjects like analog and digital circuit design is unique.

Prof. K L Sebastian is another great professor in Physical Chemistry. His way of using funny quotes and animation during lectures keeps the students hooked.

Prof. Chandan Dasgupta, the UG dean, and Prof. Ramasesha, the Dean of Sciences are two another very good professors who teaches Statistical Mechanics and Group Theory, Quantum Chemistry.

Prof. Anurag Kumar from ECE and CSE department teaches Wireless networking and is one of the best professors in this subject according to his students.

Prof. Shivani Agrawal is a young professor in the CSE department who is one of the best in the country. She is a Ramanujan fellow (only a few get this fellowship in the country).

How are the professors at IISC Bangalore? Do they judge you when you ask them questions? Do they cut your marks in internals if you ask them tough questions?

The professors here are really approachable and friendly. Let me narrate a few incidents that will convince you

  • A professor I know sets very tricky questions and on one such exam when the students were busy attempting the challenging paper, he along with some assistants started serving refreshments to the students. Later on, I found out that the assistant was a GOLD medallist from EPFL yet his humbleness overtook his knowledge.
  • You will be attending the seminars along with your professors who are always eager to learn new things. Despite being degree holders and having huge qualifications their humble attitude towards learning instills a sense of positivity in the students.
  • What amazes me the most were instances when some professors failed to answer certain questions in the class, and then they got back to you through emails with a properly researched answer. In fact, some professors even stayed throughout the night with their students in labs figuring out answers.
  • Their dedication level is extremely high as sometimes professors attend seminars even when it’s raining and they are drenched in the way.
  • The professors value every second and once I saw a professor eat a dry bun and a fruity just to save time. 

Trust me, being a part of the IISc family will be the most enlightening experience you will ever have.

Who are some of the best faculty in Thapar University?

AS
Anil Singh Posted On : February 20th, 2024
Studied at Thapar University

I am an alumnus of Thapar University. Back when I was a student, Dr. V.P. Aggarwal was one of the best teachers at Thapar.

Back in 2014, sir used to teach us KOM (Kinematics of Machines - UME 302). I would usually arrive late for all my lectures, and sit for them with almost no interest. But one of sir’s classes truly inspired me and changed my perspective on life. 

Our ESTs were nearing, and so those days very few students attended classes. Sir was teaching us a topic and at the end, he asked us for our doubts. All of us were sitting in a disinterested manner, almost as if forced to attend the lectures. This was when sir told us that he had come back to the university at 4 in the morning, straight from Jabalpur. 

He had come back specifically for our class. When we asked him why he took so much pain for a single class, he replied that it was duty to teach his students. He said he would have felt restless with the thought that maybe some student had a query that day which couldn’t be solved because of his absence.

He told us that for him duty was above everything else. He wanted all his students to work hard and stay motivated. That day changed my perspective on life, and made me realize the importance of hardwork.

This is why, for me, sir is one of the best teachers whom I studied under at Thapar University.

How good is IGNOU for MA courses?

PT
Pranjal Tiwari Posted On : October 20th, 2022
Studied at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is guaranteed that the study material provided by IGNOU is excellent. You'll have a great time going through them. It will undoubtedly provide you with a thorough understanding of the subject. However, it is not without difficulty. You get to work hard. If you want to study Economics via distance education, IGNOU is your best bet. 

However, pursuing it at a regular university in a face-to-face mode may be preferable because teachers can assist you with your difficulties. However, if you are already employed, MA in Economics from IGNOU is an excellent choice.

What was your experience at the Faculty of Law DU? Is it worth it to study law there?

RY
Raja Yaduvanshi Posted On : October 6th, 2022
Studied Law at Campus Law Centre, Delhi University

One of my friends studied at the Faculty of Law, DU. She believes that getting admission there is one of the best things that happened to her as it has guided her career path in a lot of ways. Thus, it is worth studying there. Here is what she shares about her experience as a student:

  • It is located in the center of North Campus, just a few blocks from every illustrious DU college. The canteen, gym, library, and all other services are open, and food is subsidized.

  • The most crucial factor is your peers. At the law school, you'll discover a lovely and hard-working crowd where everyone is eager to assist you if you are struggling in any way, even during the semester exams. 

  • The tea shop and chatting on any subject under the sun are a terrific way to spend an evening at the Wisdom Tree, which is always proudly standing in the courtyard of the old faculty area. The teachers and guides are decent. The syllabus and course materials are excellent, and they even offer free high-quality materials.

  • Marking is a bit difficult. The question paper standard is on par with that of the UPSC and occasionally even higher than that of the judicial services. So, in order to get into the First Division, one must work hard. It is impossible to stand apart.

The faculty is among the most qualified and experienced in the country. One of the teachers who taught IPC there recently rose to ninth place in the Bihar Judicial Services. You can imagine the difficulty and the level.

The college has produced some of the country's best judges, lawyers, and bureaucrats.

What is meant by evening colleges of DU?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : October 10th, 2022
Student at University of Delhi

Classes at the evening college start in the afternoon and end in the evening.

The curriculum, degree, classes, principal (in most cases), canteen, and location are all the same for the morning and evening batches.

However, the cutoffs differ; evening colleges have a lower cutoff than morning colleges. It has a different faculty and administration and is less crowded than the morning classes.

It differs from one college to the next. Some evening colleges are excellent, while others are on par with government schools. Teachers are present, but students don't actually care, and vice versa.

So, students with lower percentages in their XII standard are more likely to be admitted to evening colleges.

If you want to attend evening college, you don't have to feel inferior to morning students because many students from evening colleges have topped the DU exam.

Ultimately, it is up to you to consider and make decisions wisely. Many students attend evening colleges and then go to coaching to prepare for exams such as UPSC and SSC in the morning.

Who is the most friendly professor in IIT Madras? Why?

RS
Rishabh Singh Posted On : February 3rd, 2024
Lives in banglore

My brother is an alumnus of IIT Madras. During his time, Professor Kamakoti was one of the friendliest professors at IITM. 

Whenever sir caught someone sleeping in the class or coming late for the lecture, he would simply crack a joke and lighten everyone’s mood. He was an absolute master of his subject. The only thing which frustrated him was the lack of interest among students towards lab coursework. 

My brother is not sure if sir still teaches at IITM, but he always fondly remembers sir.

How is BITS Goa compared to BITS Pilani? Is the placement and faculty much better at Pilani? Is BITS Goa a good viable option?

NB
Nishchay Bhalla Posted On : March 21st, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2018)

When comparing BITS Pilani with BITS Goa, there are several factors that you should consider before making your decision:

  • Alumni strength: Pilani has a much older and more established campus, which means it has a larger alumni network in key positions in the government and private sectors. Goa, being a newer campus, has had a head start of only 19 years compared to Pilani's 59 years.
  • Student quality: Pilani has slightly smarter students than Goa, based on the difference in cutoffs between CSE + core branches in Pilani and Goa. The average difference is around 25, and for MSc branches, it's about 15-20. This points to the fact that Pilani folks are slightly smarter and more hardworking than Goa students, at least before joining the college.
  • Placements: BITS Pilani has an excellent placement record, with a 31.5% increase in average salary and a 35% increase in the highest salary over the previous year. The highest salary was INR 60.75 LPA, and the average salary was INR 30.7 LPA, with 109 recruiters participating in the placement drive. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, and Cisco are among the top recruiters. While BITS Goa also has a consistently good placement record, it is slightly behind BITS Pilani in terms of average and highest salaries.
  • Faculty: BITS Pilani has a larger and more established campus with highly qualified and experienced faculty, but BITS Goa also has talented and experienced faculty.
  • Infrastructure: Both campuses have good infrastructure, but BITS Pilani has a larger campus and more facilities, which can sometimes make a difference in the quality of education.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to choose BITS Pilani or BITS Goa should be based on your personal preferences and goals. While BITS Pilani may have a slight edge in terms of faculty and infrastructure, BITS Goa is also a good viable option with a good reputation.

Is KIIT a good college in terms of education and faculty?

SD
Salini Dasgupta Posted On : July 25th, 2023
studied at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (2020)

Yes, KIIT is a great college in terms of both education and faculty. One of my friends completed his BTech in Civil Engineering from KIIT and was glad of his decision. The faculty base comprises a mix of highly learned professors and fresh post-graduates generally from IITs or other reputed colleges. But the major issue here is the quality of students getting admission here. KIIT usually averages students who could not make it into other engineering colleges. 

No matter how good the teachers are, the level of education can never be great if the students are average and have no interest in studying. Because of the luxurious life the institute offers, students have started taking faculty and education in general for granted. They can be seen frequently skipping classes and exams. This carefree approach toward studies is causing major problems and is destroying the academic ambiance as well as the career of many. 

Owing to such an attitude on the part of students, the professors too have little interest in teaching. They dont run behind students and have found comfort in their laid-back attitude. So, the faculty although good is of no use if the students are not willing to extract benefits from them.

Who is the best professor at NIT Trichy?

RB
Rishabh Bahl Posted On : February 12th, 2024
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2020)

I feel Dr. Raghavan from the ECE department deserves to be in the list of best professors at NIT Trichy. His teaching, question paper setting, and grading are on par with global standards. 

Sir emphasizes on course projects, something unique to his teaching. He focuses on the big picture, instead of petty details. He never tests derivations straight off a book. His exams aren’t lengthy, rather they require logical thinking. He conducts pseudo open book exams. His methods especially stand out because usually question papers are unnecessarily lengthy, classroom lectures are simply textual recitations, and exam problems are straight out of textbook. Sir has an exceptional knowledge of his field, and his lectures are a delight for learners. 

The best part is that sir always ends his lectures 5 minutes early.
