What Students Say
Likes
- I liked the research environment which is provided by IISER
- The opportunity to do master thesis outside institute in foreign universities as well.
- The lab facilities, cooperative faculty
Dislikes
- I disliked the time it took to shift in two different campuses , as it was in transit campus when i joined.
- Institute sometimes showed inability to take positive criticism by some student on social media platform
Course Curriculum Overview
The main reason why i chose this course is because it provided me an opportunity to explore research field very openly and provided me with an opportunity to do research work in and outside the labs of IISER Tirupati. However there was no direct campus placement atleast for biology majors in IISER Tirupati.
Internships Opportunities
I could get internship in several good national institutes , along with this it provides an opportunity to work in foreign institutes as well through its exchange program as well as individual applications .
Fees and Financial Aid
In IISER Tirupati there was a semester fee of rs . 42000 per semester for general / EWS/ OBC students , ( including all other funds like gymkhaana, hostel , electricity and water bill ) apart from that there was a caution deposit of rs 4000 at the beginning of the BSMS dual degree program , there are some scholarship options available like INSPIRE felliwship or KVPY .
Campus Life
The overall experience at IISER was amazing , it provides you with an opportunity to socialise via several fests like the major yearly fest known as "Vivante " , apart from that there are several celebrations throughout year , like Ganesh Chaturthi celebration, Diwali celebration, onam food festival etc. Also , during the vivante week we do have ethnic day and prom night .
Hostel Facilities
There are compulsory hostel accomodation for BS-MS students and it was on a sharing basis and is a two sitter room with one balcony and 2 separate table and chair . These are well furnished rooms with good infrastructure.
Admission
I appeared for NEET -2019 and scored around 555 which wasn't enough to get through cutoff and give me an opportunity to enroll in any medical college in my state , but as i was interested in research only , and thus when i got to know about IISER's dual degree program and its scope of extensive research i thought of giving it a shot and luckily i could crack IAT ( IISER Aptitude Test ) and i feel it was a good decision . The admission process of IISER involves an entrance exam known as IISER Aptitude Test , after that there is document verification if you make through the cutoff .
Faculty
Faculty to student ratio was good , there are around 100 students in the first two semesters though which subsequently decreases as the students got divided as per their majors . There aren't any faculty with whom i personally have any distress.. But i would sincerely thank prof. Ramesh sonti and Dr. Dillep for the way they perceived research was inspiring .
Other Applied Colleges
Max planck , Germany | Ph.D. (Microbiology & Cell Biology)
Because it is one of the top 10 research institutes of the world and would help me build my carrier in research .
