ALL ABOUT IISER PUNE

The curriculum is not so good and not so bad. As in my college there is 4 month of semester and all exam happen in this time and you have to do all things, so this make a lot of pressure for the student to do it. As it is a research college so we can't expect any easeness in the exam as most of question are thinking based not on learning based. So it takes time to approach any question. But on the other way the 4 month is good because it gives us a opportunity for doing any internship in 3 month of summer + 1 month of Winter. In a positive way we can take this but it is good for 2nd year and onwards students mainly. In the curriculum this is averagely good for students.

Internship is totally depend on you. Mainly the chance of internship is high when you are in touch with the professor. By the help of them you may got intern in foreign like germany, usa, london etc. top developed countries. As they have their connection with them. Mainly iiser have good connection in foreign so their is high chances that you may got chance to abroad. Also the project are started from the 2nd year onwards as it totally depend on you whether you want to take it or not. But these are also help in your cgpa and more chance to intern in the field which you want to apply here. If you have done any projects so there is high chance of getting intern and after it getting a good funded phd after it.

As there was placement in the year 2021 which is nearly 56 percent. Around 20 companies visited campus like TCS, AKASH, CIPLA etc. for placement. But most of student do not like placement becuase they have their plan about research so they do phd and post doc in their career which they think best according to their opinion. But in 2021 the avg. package was 8 lpa and each participant have 2 offer. Also the highest package is 13 lpa, which is very nice as compare. but the main reson is research that's why placement is not so higher.

The fee of IISER PUNE is not so high as it is nearly 1 lakh per anum which includes hostel fee and the fee for mess can be approx 20 k for a semester. If we account total fee of course it will not be more than 8 lakh which includes all stuff which is used in the course. If we now consider about scholarship, about 80% student of IISER PUNE are getting scholarship, whether it is by INSPIRE, KVPY. NSP(NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP PORTAL), FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY COLLEGE. Financial Assistance is nearly 45k for a year. So most of student have scholarship. If we come about campus employment there is not so much interest in students as most of them are busy in there research, So I can't expect more of it. In INSPIRE you got 60k + 20k(if you do intern for that year) , in nsp it vary from 60k to 1 lakh (depend on your annual income).

In iiser pune main events are KARAVAAN and MIMAMSA which is very famous. As karavaan is annual fest which is 2-3 days festival in college which included all the enjoy things which is typically take in month of october, mimamsa is grand fest like but it is a competition of colleges in which aroung 1000 college of india participate and only 4 college chosen. After that they come at iiser pune and the top team won 4 lakh. The main thing i like it is that it is totally conduct by students, which make it really good. Also there is other club like disha which teach tooor chilidren of basti , art club , drama club, dance club etc. Also you are welcome in any club which helps you to explore in all field which is very helpful. Also there is sports complex, gym , football and cricket ground etc. Also the class is very modern like every classroom is well maintained and is very neat and clean.

Hostels are very nice and very hygienic. In one room 2 person live and room has enough space. Also you got two almirah, table, chair and bed in room. So there is very good in hostel life, also the hostels are very neat and clean as there is one sweeper per floor. So the bathroom and washroom are highly neat and clean. The hostels are very cheap like 1300 per month charge but you have to pay 5200 rupee one time when you pay the semester fee. Also the mess is very nice and hygiene is their first priority, There is not so fixed price for mess as they follow rule like hotel, like you have to pay on spot when you are going to eat. Also there is your own choice what you want to like to eat like veg, non veg etc.

For admission you have to give an exam IAT for doing BSMS which is compulsory for all iiser. And I like it because there is some other way by which we can go into a tier 1 college by other exam not by jee or neet like things. The application mainly start in april and form available till end of april. you have to fill it on the IAT site and the exam has fee nearly 2000 rupees. Also there is same reservation pattern as in the central govt. exams, so it is not a big issue. The cutoff for iiser pune is nearly 120 out 240 marks as i gave the exam last year. It vary year to year. The cutoff is different for different iiser. Also IISER PUNE selects only 270 student of the total qualified number which nearly about 5k. So I can say there is huge competition here. The exam is moderate for the admission and exam is available for all over india not in particular area like wbjee.

Basically the professor come in lecture hall and give us lecture, and you can ask your doubt in mid of lectures ir after lecture. As most of prof have done their post doc so they have to do their own research, so they are busy in it. But you can approach them by simply sending a mail and they give you time and solve your doubt. Also there is small batch making in a total batch of 270 student which is divided into batch of 30 student each and a a guy come who is doing phd now will solve your doubt and revise all the stuff which the prof has done. Also there is timely quiz happen which they check and tell us how to do the exam. In short they are helping hand for students.
