Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I opted to go for BS chemistry from IIT Kharagpur mainly because of the IIT tag and Kharagpur being one of the top 5 IITs in India. The curriculum is pretty manageable and insightful. One gets to learn and apply the concepts practically in labs. The teachers are very knowledgeable and supportive. Exams are held in two sets midsem and endsem. One should study regularly to perform well in the exams.

Internships Opportunities

3.5

The internships offered by big companies are very less in number. Many students opt for research internships at Ivy League colleges and they are very beneficial in career prospects. Some of the companies that offered internships are Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs, Nvidia, Siemens, etc.

Placement Experience

4.5

The placements at my college are pretty talked about and popular. Every year such news headlines are heard like "A student from IIT Kharagpur got a 4cr offer from XYZ company." If someone doesn't get placed then he has to look for off-campus offers, the institute doesn't help with off-campus offers. My plan after getting the degree is to sit for placements and hope for the best.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is very transparent and reasonable. Numerous scholarships are available for students helping them financially. The banks are also very supportive of students by offering education loans at lower interest rates. We do not need to work part-time.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life has been full of ups and downs be it regarding any social club or a tech society, it has many things to offer. The library has everything a student can ask for. Classrooms are equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure. Sports facilities are top-notch.

Hostel Facilities

5

The hostel life is the most fun thing about campus life. We get all the facilities in our hostel and the rooms are also pretty good. The meals are way better than what we expected. The hostels are very affordable to us at such a reasonable fee.

Admission

The entrance exam is very competitive and demands hard work and persistence from the candidate. I started my preparation from 11th standard at a coaching institute in Indore. I practiced mock tests and strengthened my prep. Finally, I cleared Jee mains and got a decent rank in Jee advance. The admission process was a little tricky because I had to submit a list of my preferred colleges and according to my rank, I will obtain a seat in that particular institute. Luckily I got BS Chemistry at IIT Kharagpur. I availed of reservation benefits under the Gen-EWS category. Eligibility for Jee mains is that the student should have opted for maths along with science in his 10+2. Jee mains is held once a year and one can find its application form at NTA's website.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Till now, the basics are being taught, I have talked to seniors of my department and they say that our course is good and curriculum is updated, it will be helpful if they included more computered learning for chemicals such as using computers to synthesize specific material or to emulate how said chemical will perform in certain situations. Our midsems started just 1 month after we came here, I think there should be more time given for the first exam as the students need to adjust as well.

Teacher take 2 or 3 teaching assistant to help the students in the classroom, Teaching assistant are actually seniors and they help students in very friendly way.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In my opinion, the relevance is extremely subjective, in certain subjects we learn way more than what is expected from undergraduate students, in others our knowledge level is comparitively less. It depends on the faculty member taking the course honestly. It changes course to course.

Placement Experience:

There's an entire department dedicated to internships and placements and the information surrounding it. I am not sure about from which semester students become eligible for campus placements, but it must be around after the 3rd year. Of course the whole purpose of IISER is based on research rather than placements, as a result most of the students opt further studies than a job after their completion of MS

Placement Experience:

Students can sit for placement in their 5th year after completing the BS-MS course. Company like ITC infotech , TCS etc visit to offer placement. As iiser is a Institute mainly for research studies , not many students sit in placement, they opt for higher studies in national or in some foreign Institutes. From what i know the highest package in 2023 was 48 lpa and average package was 7 lpa.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Courses at IISER Kolkata are not like usual curriculum in state or central Universities in India. IISER Kolkata 's academic curriculum is quite similar to that of US and European Universities. The focus of the curriculum is to teach and train us to make us researchers. So the courses are quite relevant if someone wants a career in research. Exams are very frequent in iiser Kolkata, apart from the mid semester and end semester exams, there are regular quizzes/class tests/surprisetests/assignments/grades tutorial problems every week.

Placement Experience:

Placements are good. Top companies like Apple, Microsoft and Google do offer placements and PPOs to students. Students are eligible for placements in their final year. Highest offers go up to as high as Rs. 2 Cr or 4 Cr. About 750+ offers including PPOs were made during first few days of the start of the placement season this year in IIT Kharagpur. Overall placement percentage as been above 85%. Profiles of placements vary, including a good mix of both core companies and tech companies. I intend to pursue MS in Economics or MBA, depending on future interests.
