Remarks

It is one of the best research institutes in India. It is an institute for future scientists. My interest lies in research work and I found IISER Kolkata best in this field and that's why I choose IISER Kolkata for my graduation.

Course Curriculum Overview

Almost all faculty members in our college are good in academics. They have done well in their academics. Most of them are from Bengal, almost 98% of them. Regarding the course structure, it is completely different from normal B.Sc. and M.Sc. It is research-based and completely theoretical. If you don't like to read and memorise much, you should not opt IISER. Engineering is a practical study, while pure science is completely theoretical.

Placement Experience

4.5

These are the colleges made for research purposes, and they are not job oriented. There are no official placements in any IISER. Most of the students opt for higher studies in abroad. Moreover, IISER students get a benefit over other students during admissions in abroad colleges due to its reputation in the field of research.

College Events

4.5

Inquivesta is one of the biggest fests of science in Asia. It is organised every year. Apart from this, it organises other events like cultural, IISER sports meet, and ISM. Other normal events like DJ night and department days are also conducted.

Campus Life

IISER-K has an average campus in comparison to other Indian institutes like IITs, IIScs, IISERs. However, it has a very nice and beautiful campus in comparison to other private institutions. There are modern buildings, and the best building is the Research Complex. It has an Olympic size swimming pool, and all other sports are also available here.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The mathematics honours curriculum influence my decision to choose these course because of its strong emphasis on core subjects like calculus algebra and analysis which build solid theoretical foundation and logical thinking skills. The course prepared students will for higher studies and comparative exams by focusing on conceptual clarity proves and problem solving some topics also offer practical relevance in field suggest statistics data analysis and applied sciences.

Placement Experience:

Computers are so vast that masters is mandatory and therefore I have certain plans for that. However big scale IT companies come here and students of Computer science Hons have had placements worth 6-10 lakhs easily. My plans are to appear for the job interviews but not taking any as I want to study more.
