IISERB. An honest review

The core research-based curriculum made me opt for this course. The flexibility of choosing 3 out of 6 subjects in second year is perhaps one of the best part of this course. The teaching methods employed are excellent and the design of the course is well structured

I have had no internships yet, but from interacting with profs and seniors, it is evident that its not that hard to land an internship in the laboratory of a professor, that would give us the right kind of scientific exposure we need for out future

Semester Fee: 33500 per sem Hostel FEE : 7000 per sem Mess fee : 3200 per month there is INSPIRE scholarship for those who are eligible, eligibility includes top 1% in state board/CBSE board There are other scholarships for people with different categories

Enthuzia is the annual fest held in late Feb-early March Singularity is the annual science fest in January Classrooms have both blackboard for chalktalks and screens for PowerPoint presentations Clubs are active and events from Luminaire the movie club, Uttarang the music club keep us entertained throughout the year

The rooms are quite small and the fact that we have to share a wardrobe sucks, the washrooms and corridors are cleaned everyday, The mess menu is flexible as its a student run body and the rates are affordable and taste and hygiene are ensured

I had applied to various engineering colleges in Bangalore , but cancelled my application as their counselling started much later after my seat in IISER got confirmed. Admissions are made by IISER Aptitude Test which test you on basis of 11th and 12th grade syllabus of PCMB. The exam is easy to moderate

There is wide range of faculties and thus this becomes a very difficult question to give a answer as a whole. The overall impression so far has been that most faculties are experienced and well versed in their research areas but this might not necessarily be true in their teaching styles. The contrast between profs exists to a large extent and getting the right faculty sometimes can be luck based
