What Students Say?

Likes

Research facility,classrooms,labs,library,food.

Dislikes

Faculty,unavailability of hostel,classrooms are too far from gate.

Course Curriculum Overview

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.

Class Size: 45Course Fees: INR 28000 per year

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.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions

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

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.

Review of the Visva Bharati days.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course structure is not up to the mark it should be revised and the teaching methods should be more enhanced. For the integrated science department if you are qualifying the exams properly and getting overall CGPA up to 7 or more than that that will be helpful for your research and development purpose but some corns are there like you cannot apply for b.Ed in Vishwa Bharti university because the course is not considered as doing a b.Ed.

My Views on JU

Placement Experience:

One of the main reason to choose this University was it's placement record. It's Engeneering Departments has almost above 90% placement rates with highest package of above 1cr and average package of 10-15 lakh. Higest package are mostly from CSE, Electrical and Chemical Engineering department. Reputed multinational company like Google and Amazon visit here for placement. Students are eligible for the placement from their final semester. Although it has good placement cell but I will go for reasearch in future.

Course Curriculum Overview:

If the student is quite serious to go for a PHD after completing his MSc from here, I would say it is a great choice but if one is looking for the option to explore some other field after completing his MSc from here, I wouldn't recommend of getting a degree from here.

I have done my graduation in physiology and want to do higher studies on this subject. In my college, my department is good also. We have 25 students in my batch. There are 6 faculties for the whole department. The faculties are highly efficient because it is a university. They all have a post-doctorate degree and high knowledge on every topic. Their teaching method is also very good and also the students behave in a good manner. They Monthly took exams on a monthly basis. The questions are moderate to high. They also provide the answer sheets to the students
