Life at IISER Tirupati

the cirriculum is very vast and it feels like doing a bsc in biology ,chemisty ,physics, maths of first year all at the same time .which definetely is difficult and puts u under the same pressure like preparing for any entrance test. but u get to eplore ur field of inrest before choosing ur majors and as well opting for interdisiplinary majors

The mentioned fees include hostel fees and my seat acceptance fees(SAF) for this year. Without the SAF it would be Rs.102804 which again includes my hostel fees too and all other fees except for food. we have pay and eat system so food is not included in any of our fees, it varies person to person considering how much and what the individual eats.on avg it add up to Rs.7000 per month.As for scholarships a lot of people avail scholarships like INSPIRE,scholarships from NSP based on merit as well as reservation and various other external scholarships that mostly covers all our fees except for food. the fee structure does increase year by year but not more than 5000.

the population is very less that including all batches it is less than 2000 members. we have club activities every now and then, college fest once a year, a common science day and respective days like phy day,chem day etc.all festivals are celebrated as we have a very diversified population which means that there are people from almost every state of india, we have top class lecture halls but the main library is still under construction we have two smaller libraries ,the main huge library bust be opend somewhere in 2025.the lab facilities are very good needs no comparison. we have inter isser sports meet and cultural meet every year too.sport and culturals are given importance. we also go to iit tirupathi which is very close to iiser to have matches

the hostel is pretty spacious with only two occupancies available.since it is an fully residential campus u cant rent room or pg outside . as for food we have two mess a north and south mess which offers u a menu with variety of food and u pay for what u choose to eat .hostel fees ia also included in clg fees which add to rs3000 per year

i got admitted via iiser aptitude test which is the only mose of admission.one of the main advantages of choosing iiser are its exposure to esearch and it being a research institute with most of the faculties being renowed scientists in various fields. everybody gets to explore their field of intrest before choosing a major in 4th semand option to opt for interdisiplinary majors.

the teacher student ratio differs for each year as we choose our major only in 4th semester .until tht all our batch are taught together which will be 1:273 . as im just in 1st sem I'm not fully aware about existing faculties but as aspiring scientist we have great researchers in the campus. even our professors are primarily researchers rather than teaching staffs so the exposure we get towards research and deveopment is excellent. we usually have 2 quizes,mid sem and an end sem which is relatively graded. the exams difficulties is above average but since even if an individual is pcb or pcm students in 12th ,it'll be mandatory to study math an dbio for all in first 3 sem which would be difficult.

the campus is mostly active in night time provided we have classes in morning most club activities take place late in the evening or night nost plls are awake atudying,we also have a night mess the functions till 1.00.we have gyms,libraries and a lake view cafe which is my favourite hanging spot. clg intime is around 7pm and hostel around 9 but u can still go to get food and no noise shld be made after 10.00
