Abdul Rauf's Review On Indian Institute Of Science Education And Research - [IISER], Pune

IISER Pune is perfect option those who want to choose research as their career and life. IISER Pune has much facilities in basic science research professors are very much supportive also. The negative thing is about the fee hike. The fee is increasing continuously.

The course is more focusing on research in pure science. You have to study physics, chemistry, biology and maths as compulsory. You can select courses from 3rd year onwards. Entrance exam carries 15 questions each from physics, chemistry, biology and maths.

Most students do PhD in their respective field. They choose to continue their research. Most of the students are doing their PhD in European countries. Only less fraction of students are trying for jobs after the BS-MS.

IISER pune celebrates national days and cultural days. We celebrate independence day proudly in campus. We also celebrate republic day. We have college fest 'Karavan' in October. We also celebrate cultural fests like onam, holi, diwali, dussera etc.

The fee structure is feasible compared to other colleges having same facilities.But now a days fee is increasing in a great rate.If you have a scholarship like inspire or kvpy, then it is fine maintain your expenses.

You can apply for inspire scholarship if you are belongs to top 1 percentage of your respective state boards.the scholarship amount is sixty thousand per annum.If you are a kvpy fellow,you will get kvpy scholarship through out the course period.

There is a lot of extra curricular activities in iiser Pune for sports, we have a cricket ground, football ground, volleyball court, basketball court, tennis court etc. There is a sports meet between iisers in each year. We also have lots of clubs like disha, spicmacay, kaleidoscope, literary etc to promote students.

Hostel facilities are much good. We have 24×7 faster wifi, water (hot and cold), 2 beded rooms etc. The rooms are not crowded.one room carries only two persons. The only problem is with delay in problem solving by hostel management.

The college is established only eleven years ago.so the alumni is not strong.they are still students doing their PhD and postdoctoral.anyway they are giving us a guide about PhD admissions.they are helpful in that way.

IISER aptitude test. I wrote the exam after clearing my 12th board exam. Those who have cut off marks can apply for iiser aptitude test. kvpy, jee advanced are another options to enter IISER. Students have to select science stream in higher secondary education for writing these exams.

The faculties are highly qualified and supportive. Faculties are doing their research in their respective discipline in IISER and they have vast knowledge in the respective areas. Faculties also provide an idea about serious research in pure science.
