What Students Say
Likes
- Very natural campus away from too much city pollution with lots of trees and wildlife. There are multiple ponds visited by migratory birds.
- Exposure to all basic fields of science before choosing a major
- Entirely ragging free campus that is very welcoming to juniors.
Dislikes
- Student body has no power whatsoever, administration and professors can do whatever they want.
- Course load is a lot in second year for certain subject combinations.
- Hostels are very badly built with no ventilation which becomes a problem in peak summer.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course syllabus is very broad and well researched. All departments ensure that in first two years all students are exposed to a variety of subdivisions of the science majors taught in the campus. Exam difficulty and frequency is entirely dependent on the professor, some keep it very light while some make you want to drop out.
Fees and Financial Aid
I pay approx 2 lakhs per year with cost increasingly slightly each year. Hostel, mess, lab fees all subtotal out to under 10000. Rest is tuition fees, in 2022 semester the semester fee for BSMS batch was 48490 ruppees.
Campus Life
The cultural and sports community is very active here. We have a well kitted music room with very expensive instruments. There is an arena for every commonly played sport and events are regularly conducted for both culturals and sports. At the end of the year all iisers niisers and iisc come together for a cultural and sports competition.
Admission
I applied to IACS and the other iisers, I decided to take iiser Kolkata since it has a very good earth science department. The admission process to get into iiserk is very simple, you either give the IAT exam or use your JEE marks to apply for a tank. Based on this rank and the order in which you choose your iiser preferences you get placed into an iiser. Iiserk was my first choice and luckily my rank was good enough to get it.
Faculty
Faculty to student ratio is good, at the end of the course all students are guaranteed to get a thesis supervisor who isnt supervising more than 2 people. Faculties are extremely accomplished researchers, some of who are leaders in their respective fields. Some of the most helpful faculty members for me we're Dr subhronil mondal, Dr Anindita bhadra, Dr Soumya Bhattacharya, Dr tapas sengupta. There are more less approachable professors who put their students through a lot of mental harrasment due to the student body having no power but it is to some degree subjective.
