IISc Bangalore: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 2 Reviews

The biological sciences department now offers an M.Sc. course alongside its existing Ph.D. programs, enhancing its academic offerings. The favorable faculty-to-student ratio ensures students have easy access to faculty, with each semester featuring mid-term and end-term exams aligned with the curriculum. Although primarily research-oriented, the institute assures better placement options, yet many students opt for higher studies like Ph.D. and postdoctoral research instead of immediate placements. First-year life sciences students focus on lab projects rather than internships, gaining essential research and publication skills.

The campus supports internships and project work for students from any institute, with project assistant positions available. M.Sc. Life Science students pay annual fees of approximately 29,000 INR for General, OBC, and EWS categories, and 20,000 INR for SC/ST categories. The program does not provide direct financial assistance, but students with scholarships, such as the Aspire scholarship, may benefit. Additionally, master's students receive a 16,000 INR stipend, with 37,000 INR for JRF and 42,000 INR for SRF during Ph.D.

studies. However, campus job opportunities are limited.

IISc Bangalore: 1 Answered Question

Should I join IISC or JNCASR for integrated MSC-PHD in biology?

Srishti Jain
Seenu AroraInt. Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research.

Both are excellent institutions, but the experience will differ between the two. Whereas IISc is much larger and has a more vibrant student community, the smaller batches in JNCASR allow for more attention and a better chance of getting into at least one of their preferred labs.

IISC is smack dab in the middle of a commercial area (well, actually, the commercial areas grew around IISc, but let's not get into that). JNCASR is less centrally located and more of a sleepy campus. It's a completely different story after the second year when the pressure is intense and lab work can be extremely demanding. 

There are no holidays for students (not even Sundays or national holidays like the 15th of August or the 26th of January, but there is a flag hoisting event so you get off work for at least an hour) and most P.I.s do not allow paid leave of more than two weeks per year. This is not to say that there isn't any fun on campus. Most of the rules governing on-campus life are lax, and the guards and staff are laid-back and don't make a fuss when asked to overlook a few things.

Fees and Financial Aid:

I am not aware of the fee hike policy. In M.Sc. life science, they were not providing any financial assistance but if you have any scholarship like aspire then you can get also one. Here you will not get time to do campus jobs.
