Course Curriculum Overview

5

The courses which are offered are very up to date and give and actual conceptual understanding of the topics the courses are such that it is relevant to the real world applicantions and program our mind in thinking in a research and analytical perspective. I think the current course curriculum is enough and really good no need to improve further. Frequency of exams are 2 months Midsems and endsems and quizzes in Between then.

Campus Life

5

Overall experience of college is really good. Karvaan is the yearly festival that happens and plus there are several parties such as Halloween party and freshers party and back to college parties. Our college also supports people of all over India by conducting special occasions for all people such as Onam Lohri Ganesh Chaturthi ... Library is really great we can find all the relevant books and plus extra curriculum readings there. Technical support is really helpful and faculty members are really great. Sports we have almost all like football cricket basket ball volleyball... and we have annual sports meet where all 7 IISER, Niser and IISC banglore takes part called the IISM. We have a lot of Clubs such as Maths club, Astronomy club...there is also a student run club/ngo called as disha which goes to poor slums and villages to teach and provide for the children there.

Hostel Facilities

4

Hostel rooms accommodate 2 persons they provide a desk for studying for each, 2Beds, Stiring compartments, 2 cupboards for clothes and several shells for books and other stuff. Meal quality is like a restaurant where you order something you like in the menu board, good food, and you have to pay each time you eat. Separate site for registration of hostel rooms. Renting a room isn't allowed you have to stay insiade the campus.

Admission

I also applied to IISC BANGLORE, as it is one of the prestigious colleges for research in India. I wasn't able to get admission in it so I chose another one of the most prestigious and national level college which is my college. Mainly because I wanted to focus more on Research field. I would have applied to IISC but I missed the application period for the college which I wasn't aware. Currently our college is taking admissions on the basis of IAT exam which is the official entrance exam for IISER.

Faculty

5

Faculties are great they will help you even with the silliest doubts and over that we have teacher assistants (TA) which are PHD students working under profs they divide the whole batch into smaller batches like B1,B2... led by TA. There are mainly two mains exams each Sem the mid sems and end sems. Plus there are quizzes and assignments marks which add in the score card.

Interview Experience

4

No personal interview was taken after clearing the entrance exams. The admission was solely on the basis of your performance in the test. I prepared through several institutes like Allen and Akash from 10th and I also took online courses from physics wallah and SciAstra.

Placement Experience:

Our college encourages diversification but due to the primary aim being research, most people go for a career in academia but placements are also provided in major companies but the percentage of students going for this choice is low.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is great in doing what it is meant to, and as a structural BSMS course. It gives you more information then a classical Bsc course and prepares you entirely for a PhD is the topic of your choosing. What got me here is the freedom of choosing, you can choose whatever courses you want, regardless of what major you want, and best of all, you dont need to qualify for a major to graduate. Hence there is a complete freedom of choice over what cources you like and what you want to pursue later in your academic carrier. There are a few nooks where teaching methods could be better but that translates from professor to professor and is not a complete view of the college itself. Exams occur every two months, and there are many quizzes in between, this leaves no time to rest for students who are jumping from one quiz to another and are instantly faced with exams. The difficulty level is again decided by the course coordinator and is mostly okay for all.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for sitting for summer internship programmes of iiser pune. Not many software companies visit this college for placements as most of the students of this college sit for higher studies for their PhDs or publish research articles. However a student who wishes to get a job in corporate can get an online course of computer science done and apply for off campus placements as the IISER PUNE tag value along with good skills are more than enough for you to get a high paying job.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course contents are good but could be too lengthy for some as the semester is only of 4 months which is not sufficient for such large course contents. The grading is relative which gives fairness to everyone.

Placement Experience:

The campus is one of the factors why the IITs are hyped this much. The placements are good with the average placements clocking somewhere around 23.5 LPA. Students become eligible for placements from the third year, where they can complete an internship, and if they get a PPO, they are good to go. Companies like JANE STREET, BANE AND COMPANY, NVIDIA, and FANG visit the campus for placements, providing offers as high as four crores per annum. The 4 cr was offered by JANE STREET for HIGH-FREQUENCY TRADING. The percentage of students graduating is close to 80% , the remaining are students going for higher studies or preping for some government exams, there is rarely an unemployed graduating student.

Placement Experience:

Placement opportunities at IIT Bombay are very good. But getting a high paying job depends on an individual - how skilled and qualified they become after 4 years. If you lay focus on academics and build your personality with all the resources and networks you have IIT Bombay, you'll definitely land at a very good place in your life. There are also startups and business opportunities. Entrepreneurship is encouraged by the departments.

Placement Experience:

As there was placement in the year 2021 which is nearly 56 percent. Around 20 companies visited campus like TCS, AKASH, CIPLA etc. for placement. But most of student do not like placement becuase they have their plan about research so they do phd and post doc in their career which they think best according to their opinion. But in 2021 the avg. package was 8 lpa and each participant have 2 offer. Also the highest package is 13 lpa, which is very nice as compare. but the main reson is research that's why placement is not so higher.
