What Students Say?

Likes

A great exposure for research(if you are interested )
professors are helpful, they take feedback and work upon those

Dislikes

campus indeed needs much upgradation in infrastructure

Course Curriculum Overview

the curriculum is designed in way that you have divesrse options,mostly the curriculum focuses on multidisciplinary.we have a 4 month semester so we have a midterm exam after 1.5 months and a endsem at the end

Class Size: 250Course Fees: INR 90000 per year

Internships Opportunities

you can get a internship in academia, can work in a lab during the summer. you will generally not get any stipend for it. and there is no such company internship.1st year generally dont get a internship. from 2nd year it is usual to do a internship.

Fees and Financial Aid

fees hike is not as such for me as they have already told us the amount at the starting and that would be the same throughout the course no increament.you will need around 3000 a month for mess , no as such scholarship provided by the institute

Campus Life

we kind of celebrate every cultural festival over here from all regions of India, we have a library which have all the books you may require during the course duration. we have cricket ground,tennis court,football ground,volleyball court,kabbadi mat and many more things.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel is good for the 1st 2 years you will be 3 in a room, from 3rd year you will be in a double sharing room. Meal over here is affordable it is subsidised. and the hostel fee is nominal for a semester like 2000

Hostel Fee: INR 5000 per year

Admission

You should get minimum of 60% in your 12th. Application can be found on iiser portal. Difficulty level is medium. you can get here by appearing iiser aptitude test . my rank was 594(gen) and i got IISER kolkata in the 2nd round. exam happens every year around june,july

Faculty

the ratio between faculty and student is well managed like per faculty two students. all of them have phds , most of them have post docs, generally from abroad. you can interact whenever you want just drop a mail to them for appointment . they are well recieving

IIT Kharagpur, a fresh start to your life!

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.

Course curriculum are different for different departments students. Like i was in physics department,, they give assignment, quizes and and midsem and endsem and the marks their varry depending on the course teacher decision. I selected physical science and i am quite satisfied with my course selection as the lab experience was very good. 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.

Life at IISER - A Glimpse

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.

IISER Kolkata and why it's one of the best for research

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

IISER kolkata and its description.

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.

An overview of IISER Kolkata: academics, research, hostel, mess, etc

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.

A Mixed Bag of primarily amazing and life-changing experiences

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.
