Pros and cons of ISI

The curriculum is great for today's world. It provides both industry exposure as well a great research experience. The areas of improvement can be more involvement of technology in teaching methods. The exams are quite good and require great efforts for getting good marks .

The intership packages or stipend are from 1 lakh per month to as high as 2.5 lakh in good tech companies. Other students pursue research internship in labs of professors in the institute of in IITs, NITs , IISERs or Niser .

The placements are quite great . Those who opt for placement gets them . The highest offer was 63 LPA from M.Qror branch and average was more than 18 lakhs per annum.the companies which visited were BlackRock , optiver , Microsoft, Google , nomura bank etc. After completion of my degree I will pursue PhD which is the most followed path here .

The year wise fees I will be paying is 205000 or 102500 per semester. The tuition fees is 1 lakh per semester and other fees is 2500 per semester. For sc st students there is no tuition fees taken. The institute provides fee waiver for students having parental income less than 5 lakhs . For students having parental income between 1 lakh and 5 lakhs the tuition fees is 66.67% waived off . For students having parental income less than 1 lakh there is no tuition fees

The annual fest is Integration. The fest comprises of wide ranging events , seminars and extracurricular activities. The institute have a club to look after all the extra curricular and sports activities through out the year.

I also applied to other colleges in engineering through jee mains but couldn't get the cut-off marks cleared . The admission process of ISI is through ISI admission test .this test has great toughness and only tastes mathematics of 10+2 level. After you give the exam they publish a merit list and if you have your roll number mentioned there congratulations on getting into ISI.

The faculty to student ratio is quite good 1 :10 which enhances the teacher student interaction a lot. The faculty I liked is professor gopal krishna basak who is the dean of studies. His humbleness and down to earth nature makes him different from other professors. There are mainly 2 exams mid semester and end semester as mandatory having at least 80% to your grade and other 20% is either taken through quizzes or assignments.
