Remarks
IISER Kolkata is a place to motivate the researcher. I loves sciemce and I want to discover new things in my life. IISER Kolkata's extraordinary faculties and infrastructure were key factors in choosing IISER Kolkata.
Course Curriculum Overview
Faculty in IISER-K are top notch. A lot of them are pioneers in their field. The teaching methods vary with subjects. Teachers may use blackboards or slides as required. The course curriculum is research-oriented and motivates one to take up research. In the final year of BS-MS, there is minimal coursework, and each student focuses on a research project under the supervision of a faculty.
Placement Experience
The main aim of IISER is to promote research in basic sciences, and as such, most of the students opt for higher education like PhD and others. After the completion of their BS-MS degree, they would eventually strive to join academia or a research institute to carry out high-quality research.
College Events
Being far from the city, life can be a bit monotonous here. IISER-K hosts a wide range of activities from musical events to inter-batch sports competitions, art competitions, writing competitions etc. Many cultural festivals of different parts of India are celebrated by the student community. These include Onam, Saraswati Puja, Bihu, Ganesh Chaturthi, Utkal Divas etc. The main aim of celebrating these festivals is to bring the community together.
Campus Life
Facilities in IISER-K are mostly good. Hostels are top notch with twin-sharing for BS-MS and single-sharing rooms for PhD and IPhD students. Owing to the space crunch, some of the twin-sharing rooms are made triple-sharing and the single rooms to twin-sharing. This misery falls on the first and second-year students. However, many more hostels will come up in the future, and this issue is likely to get resolved. Rooms have good Wi-Fi connectivity. There are washing machines on almost every floor and geysers in the bathrooms.
