Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I decided to go for the course as it opens both industry and research option in economics. As today's world is all about data and being good at economics can be a great thing . The curriculum makes us better at analysis of the market and how to think rationally like an economist. The exams are held once a month and are of moderate to tough

Internships Opportunities

4.5

Mostly internships are done in labs of different professors all across the country. Students work on research problems with the professors. Very less students go for industry internships because research is the main motive here.

Placement Experience

4.5

From 7th semester onwards peoplee can opt for placements and hence not choosing to do Ms thesis at IISER . The companies that visit are mainly Nomura bank, Barclays , Sr. Reddy's Lab and Many other Quant Firms.The average salary is as high as 20 LPA due to lesser number of student sitting for placements.My plans after the degree is to get placed in a good company.

Campus Life

4

The annual fest is ENTHUZIA held typically in March. The Annual techfest is ARMAGEDDON which is a gaming fest more and tech fest less. The library has many facilities from accessing e resources to reading different kind of journals and thesis apart from regular book reading. As many as 15 clubs are there which are run by students and governed by Dean of student affairs. They have a great impact on students by reducing their academic pressure to an extent.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

The room is quite good for 2 people in double occupancy. The room has 1 fan , 2 tables, 2 chairs , 2 almirahs, 3 charging ports, 2 LAN ports and 2 cots. The registration for hostels is done on the admission day only . The mess is allotted near to the hostel and the mess menu covers both north and south indian foods

Admission

I also applied and got selected to IMA Bhubaneswar but I choosed IISER because of the unique exposure it provides in both corporate and research sectors . The admission to IISERs can be only done through IISER Aptitude Test held typically in June each year.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty to student ratio is around 1:20 although it varies from department to department. I liked Dr. Aditya Sharma because of his great knowledge and wisdom in his subject still having a student friendly nature. 4 exams are taken per course in a Semester. 2 quizzes and end sem+midsem which have more than 80% weightage. Exams are of great level.

Other Applied Colleges

Institute of Mathematics & Applications- [IMA] | Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] {Hons.} (Mathematics and Computing)

I opted for IISER Bhopal because of its brand value

Course Curriculum Overview:

Curriculum is very research driven, and it is very flexible too. Course is as per the New Education Policy and is relevant to modern industrial needs. However the Curriculum is all around Pure Sciences, like the B.Sc but just the college is much better than a normal BSc college. First two year is given to students to get along with subjects that they want to study in future, in the third year they choose their Majors. Quizzes are frequent and occurs biweekly, while Exams occurs every month and so.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum trains students in various research fields, including lab and theory. The course prepares a student to get either a industry position, or PhD position. The course curriculum can be improved by porividing more exposure to students who havent experienced, these fields. Exams are good, easy if youve understood the course content. These exams are based on a wide information of the topic, and are not limited to just one textbook.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I am just in my first year right now, the courses I have are fairly introductory. But since we have to study PCMB, Earth Science, Programming and a Humanities course just in the first year, it's fairly hard to manage. we have 2 quizzes, a mid sem exam and an end sem exam in each semester typically at the end of each consecutive month (4 month semester). The marking scheme, syllabus, paper pattern, time, difficulty etc are all subject to change according to the professor.

Placement Experience:

As it's a research institution, more emphasis is given to academia and research instead of placements. We have an active placement cell, but still, it's lackluster compared to engineering colleges. The average package hovers around 10 lpa, and only a handful of people get placements. Most opt for Phd or an MBA.

Placement Experience:

Mostly from 8th semester onwards students become eligible for sitting in placements and getting preplacement offers in their applied companies. Companies like nomura Bank ,Barclays and Dr Reddy's lab have visited the campus in the past. Mostly all the students get placed because less number of student sitting for the placements. According to last year data around 31 lakhs per annum was the highest package and the average was around 10 lakhs per annum. My plan is to get into a foreign university for my higher studies.

Placement Experience:

Since IISER Bhopal is a research based institute, the placements here are not judged as in aspect of job placements after bachelor's degree, rather people here generally go for higher studies. But regardless the knowledge and experience gained here by people help them apply for any organisation off campus
