Amal Raj's Review On Indian Institute Of Science Education And Research - [IISER], Mohali

Faculty: Teacher are highly efficient, all of them are from a great background. But teaching quality is something which varies from person to person. The course curriculum is very good but the semester time period is less so kind of little difficult and more semester stress. Placements: People find it on their own, and they go for Higher Studies like PhD and Post Doc etc. Infrastructure: Co-ed Hostel with full Wi-Fi support and for the first 2 years two students live together in single room and from 3rd year onwards they get separate single room. Mess system available, 3 mess you can eat in any of them on pay and eat basis. Health center is there, all the sports facilites and gym is also there.

Most of the syllabus is at par with the universities abroad. But the academic and the grading system are a bit strict so that we have to try hard to gain grades. Most of the faculties are very approachable and they are so friendly that we feel more into science. The way of teaching is entirely different from what experience in schools as the methodology of teaching is more into invoking the practicality of each problem rather than studying the theory by heart.

To be fair, the career opportunities for IISER graduates are more or less attuned to research. That being said, there is nothing that stops the students from opting for a career as an engineer after completing a BS-MS from an IISER. The annual placements at IISER attract recruiters from reputed companies such as Ranbaxy, Unilever, GE Healthcare, Dr. Reddy’s, Shell, L’Oreal, Glenmark, etc. Most of the students prefer to go for their higher education i.e, Ph.D in their respective fields.

Iiser Mohali campus is a diverse campus where one can find festivals from Onam to Holi being celebrated in the campus. Extra curricular activities include types of sports arts and literature works. We have a well furnished Sports Complex where different types of sports such as tennis volleyball basketball table tennis. Now coming to the art section to have various arts club where one can interact to find someone with a similar artistic talent where they can contact various types of art exhibition etc.

Co-ed Hostel with full Wi-Fi support and for the first 2 years two students live together in single room and from 3rd year onwards they get separate single room. Mess system available, 3 messes where you can eat in any of them on pay and eat basis. Health center is there, all the sports facilities along with a gym.
