Course Curriculum Overview

4

I chose this course because chemistry has way more job scopes than any other subject. In IISER Kolkata there are about 31 chemistry faculties is huge and the faculty:student ratio is quite good. Every faculty is highly qualified and has contributed a lot in research. But their teaching methods need to be improved. Exams are very frequent so you will have to prepare yourself each and every day.

Placement Experience

1.5

There is very few so-called campus placement here. Placements are mainly from IITs and NITs. Here if You are interested in research then only come. Even the students don't think of placements here because It's not a good place for placements.

Fees and Financial Aid

For General and OBC, the fees are around 52000(excluding lodging and food). For SC and ST fees are around 14000(excluding lodging and fooding). I didn't get any scholarship or job from this Institute.

Campus Life

4

There is no specified annual fest. If they wish they will do it otherwise there is no specific date as such. But celebrations are done on every occasion. There is a huge collection of books and journals in the library. The classrooms are great. Air-conditioned. The projector is also there. Many kinds of sports clubs are there. You can join any one of them.

Admission

The admission procedure was very fair. We have to enter IISERs through the IIT-JAM examination. First, you will be shortlisted for the interview based on your IIT-JAM score, and then the final selection will be based on the interview marks. The application has already started for this year and all the fees and important dates can be found on the IIT-JAM website. Yes, reservation benefits are definitely there. A lot of relaxation of marks is there compared to unreserved students. The improvement which I want is that the selection procedure can be a bit faster.

Biotechnology is a highly demanding course in today's world. The syllabus for this course is mostly around bookish knowledge and you have to gather outside knowledge on your own.
