IISc Bangalore: 5 Answered Questions

How good is machine learning course of IISC Bangalore (video lectures which are on nptel)?

Rishabh SinghLives in banglore

I lack knowledge of this particular course. But on nptel itself, there is a course called ‘Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks’ by Prof. P. S. Sastry. It is one of the best courses by an IISc Bangalore faculty.

In this course, sir gives unbelievable insights for complicated equations. His students at IISc refer to him as ‘GOD’ for a reason. This course is more mathematically rigorous than the Machine Learning course by Andrew NG on coursera. But the latter is probably better from a practical implementation point of view.

You can check these two courses as well, and then decide which of the three courses is best suited for your learning.

Is IISC Bangalore good for cyber security courses? What are the courses it offers in cyber security?

Pradeep ChowdhuriM.Tech From IISC Bangalore

Do not choose IISc Bangalore for Cyber Security courses if you wish to work in the industry and not go for research. IISc does not offer a specialized course that is customized for security professionals.

Instead of looking for Cyber Security courses at IISc Bangalore, you should go for the Amritapuri Campus of Amrita University. It is one of the best places in India for you to learn Cyber Security. My brother did his Master’s degree in Cybersecurity Systems and Networks from there.

You will learn practical implementation over there. All the courses are taught completely in English so you won’t suffer due to the language barrier.

Apart from the regular topics like Network Security, Wireless Security, Cryptography, and Digital Forensics, you will also learn topics outside of the curriculum, like Web Exploitation, Binary Exploitation, etc.

The placement scenario is decent and both private companies and government sectors offer decent packages to the students. Government officials recruit students and take them for live projects. You should choose Amrita University, Amritapuri Campus, and pursue a Masters’ in CyberSecurity from there to get a good start in this field. IISc Bangalore is not the right choice for a career in Cyber Security.

How difficult is the AI course from IISc Bangalore for a graduate from Computer Science?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

Well to be very honest, the AI course from IISv Bangalore is quite challenging for a graduate from CS. The course revolves around mathematical concepts. The fast-paced and rigorous curriculum makes it difficult to identify your weaknesses and work on them. Let me clarify the point that this scenario is not just in the case of IISc but AI in general is a field all about Math. It’s specially designed for those who are genuinely interested in this field.

The best part about this course is the Data Structure and Algorithm subject, a compulsory subject. Here are a few pros and cons of this program that will give you a general idea

Pros

IISc has some of the highest qualified professors who deliver such interesting lectures that you will start falling in love with the course. Their arguments of proof are very interesting and can be.
You will be interacting and having healthy discussions with geniuses from all over the country.

Cons

Sometimes you will find the lectures uninteresting and even fail to connect the dots of what is being taught.
There will be times when you will start regretting your decision if taking this course instead of CSA.

In reality, the course in itself isn’t flawed but our mid-sets are. These top institutes actually challenge our way of thinking which initially seems challenging but you later realize that it made you stand out in the crowd. The future prospects are great and trust me if you maintain a good CGPA, you will be placed exceptionally well.

How do placements in IISC Bangalore compare to the IITs for PG courses? What are other differences?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

I am an M.Tech, therefore, I will talk about this course.

Placements are the main reason why students with a good rank end up choosing IIT B over IISc Bangalore for their M.Tech.

The reason why you would go for your Master's is because you want to work in the technical field. Those who complete an M.Tech are technically very efficient. Working in a non-technical field after your M.Tech is not a good choice. You could have done the same after your Bachelor's. An M.Tech degree in this scenario becomes useless.

IIT Bombay has a good placement record for M.Tech students. However, most job profiles are non-technical. If you wish to go for a non-technical job after your M.Tech, go for IIT B or the other IITs.

IISc Bangalore will groom you in such a way that you will become passionate about your field of study. Many IISc Bangalore students reject non-technical job offers. Most M.Tech students at IISc Bangalore try to get a research assistantship at foreign universities to groom themselves for a research career.

These jobs are provided with the help of your faculty advisor. Therefore, IISc Bangalore does not mention them in its profile.

Overall, after your M.Tech or any PG program, if getting a job with a good package is your topmost priority, go for IITs. IISc Bangalore is a better choice for future researchers.
