Insightful Evaluation of Course Curriculum and faculty Members at IISc

Likes

You'll gain practical hands on experience through a variety of tasks and projects that you will be assigned as homework. The course framework are excellent, and there in ongoing assessment. The college placement record is excellent

Dislikes

All of my friends were having a good time with the arguably lighter course structure, as well as all of the DJ nights and the culture fest, while I was stuck with almost nothing.
Infrastructure, labs, students, professors, teaching methodology , and the worst aspect is that the course structure is very hectic until you become interested in your course.

Fees and Financial Aid:

For the first two years of their enrollment in the PhD program, candidates are eligible for a monthly stipend from MHRD of 31k. Following three years, they are eligible for monthly stipend of INR 35k and after five years, they are eligible for a monthly stipend of INR 12k for one year.
