What Students Say

Likes

Sports facilities are very good and easy to access.

Dislikes

There is nothing in this college to be disliked

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.

Class Size: 250Course Fees: INR 98828 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

All the mentioned details are per semester Tuition fees- 40,414 Sports Amenities -1000 Lab and library facilities -2000 Examination fees-800 Hostel seat rent-3200 Electricity and water usage-2000 For students with categories other than open category the tution fees is excluded and they have to pay Rs. 9000

Campus Life

To be very frank the college is best for all the above caces mentioned.You have complete freedom in the campus unless you do something really mischievous. There are many student run clubs, infact every club. The infrastructure is also top notch.

Hostel Facilities

The accomodation provided is 2 students in a room for BSMS students and personal room for Phds. There are 3 hostels in total with lift facilities and fire safety equipments. 2 hostels are for boys and 1 for girls.

Hostel Fee: INR 6400 per year

Admission

Admission process is by clearing an entrance exam called IISER Aptitude Test which is usually held in July. The course is related to research which is not for someone who is looking for a job. I would suggest to opt for this if someone is really interested in science.

Faculty

All the faculty members are very good and experienced. Since they are themselves researchers so it makes us easy to know more about the subjects of our interest and their labs also give us in-hand experience about the research that could be done.

Night Life

The college in based in a city and that too Pune and related to other IISERs which are far from the city this campus gives us the opportunity to move around wherever we want and there is no restriction of going in and out of the campus.

A brief view into IISER Pune

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.

IISER Pune, an overall summary from a student

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.

IISER PUNE REVIEW

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.

IIT BOMBAY: FROM THE EYES OF A STUDENT

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.

The Brand of IIT Bombay

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.

ALL ABOUT IISER PUNE

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.

IISER PUNE REVIEW

Since my childhood I have always had a very keen interest in the world of science and it was my dream to become a research Scientist. This college is the best suited college for fulfiling this purpose of mine. I had appeared for JEE exam and had got accepted into many colleges but I never wanted to follow the rat race of engineering so this was the college I opted for. For taking admission in this college you need to give the IAT entrance exam. If you qualify this examination you will be able to get admission in one of the most top research colleges of India namely- IISC banglore, IISER Pune, Bhopal, Mohali, TVM, Tirupati(in priority order)....Read More

I chose IISER Pune over NIT Surat because of its dedicated focus on pure sciences and research. While NIT Surat offers a strong engineering program, IISER Pune’s interdisciplinary curriculum and research-driven approach align better with my career goals in science. I am here surrounded by a passionate people about discovery, it was a major factor. IISER’s labs, faculty, emphasis on critical thinking truly inspire me, while its environment is very reserch oriented which is essential for my growth in the sciences....Read More
