IISER Mohali, BS-MS

Reviewed on Aug 8, 2020

Remarks

It's best college in central India for pursuing research activities. The facilities and world class research and faculties are very nice. International exposure of students are some of the factors due to which I take admission in IISER Mohali.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course structure is of one year is divided in 2 semester system each of 6 months. In every completion of two months course mid semester examination took place whose weightage depend on individual professor and at last end semester examination takes place and the SPI is decide on combining results of quizzes, mid semester exams and end semester exams.

Class Size: 185Course Fees: INR 66800 per year

Placement Experience

4.5

The college, being a research institution, doesn't offer placement options. Most of the students pursue a Ph. D. after the BS-MS degree, in esteemed institutions in India and abroad. For internships, we apply for various Summer Research programmes or through personal mails to scientific investigators of interest.

College Events

The campus hosts many fests and events. A very high number of students participate in extracurricular activities. INSOMNIA is the annual fest of IISER Mohali held generally in February. We have celebrated Freshers party with the staring of the session with the Ganesh festival; teachers day was awesome including establishment day of our college.

Fees and Financial Aid

I am having INSPIRE scholarship provided by DST, Government of India to top 1% of boards students. Some students also receive KVPY scholarship.

Campus Life

The infrastructure of the college is awesome, and the campus environment is outstanding since day 1 of my course. Labs are well-equipped. Every student can improve their practical knowledge by doing practical's in the labs. The teachers, who teach us in the labs are highly qualified.

Hostel Facilities

Yes, I stay in the hostel. Girls hostel is best for the girls to stay. Hostel is very safe for girls guards and wardens are always available there to help you. Boys and girls hostel are combined. Hostels are very clean.

Hostel Fee: INR 4000 per year

Life at CGC Landran

Likes

Infrastructure, most teacher behaviour, friendly students
Environment , cleanliness, colleagues etc
Course, Locality, Faculty, Management etc

Dislikes

Some high teacher behaviour, also that of professor
Frequent demand of money as fees n hostel charge
Gym is provided but only for name, no fame , always full

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.

Cmc - a feeling in itself

Likes

Academics are very good along with proper clinical teaching lectures and simulation based teaching. Patient load is good. All the clinicals skills required at mbbs level are taught properly.
There are various extra-curricular activities which take place in college. Many cultural events are organized by college and student bodies every month which gives an holistic development experience
Sports facilities are also there which are very good.

Dislikes

Infrastructure is very old and needs repair
Many faculty members are leaving leading to less good professors in the college
Patient load is decreasing day by day resulting in less clinical exposure

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum followed in our college is CBME based curriculum. Our college was one such college which conrributed tremendously in developing this type of curriculum. It trains you in all clinical skills and provide you with the best doctor skills. Also many soft skills training session our held which helps in developing and training ourselves as good doctor. All the skills are taught on models and patients.clinical training is very good. However , patient load is decreasing which restricts oursleves in seeing variety of patients

I joined Aakash Chandigarh for my jee coaching. After few test I realised that I am good in mathematics. And also I keep myself busy to do mathematics problem lot of time. Aftee my jee advance result I was surprised that I got 82 marks in mathematics and just passing criteria marks in phy and chm. After that I got 3-4 college but I dropped all of them due to my high intrest in mathematics. So ai choose IISER mohali. It allows one to develop and be much cleverer, intelligent and broad-minded. When a student studies subjects like mathematic it augments their understanding of the world, effects, causes, etc. It lets them develop scientific knowledge and theory about everything in their surroundings they may stumble across. Science causes progressive and extraordinary developments. It has aided people in finding the cure to numerous diseases, increase awareness, and has created endless possibilities for us...Read More
