Overall, IISER is basically research-oriented. If you are coming here for placement, don't come.

Placements: It's a new course, so no idea of placement, and you should not be thinking about placement if you come to a research-oriented college. They are improving the placement cell now, like a student getting 90LPA abroad by a biotechnology company. Median package is almost 8 LPA.

Infrastructure: You find good infrastructure here, and the Wi-Fi facilities are also fast. Average food quality, IISER has a night canteen, medical facilities are good because AIIMS is nearby, like 1km from campus, sports facilities are also very good. The library is good here, you can get every book that is relevant to your academics and more than your academics.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful here, all have good qualifications and knowledge, and the teaching quality is solid 9/10. The course curriculum is relevant, and the teachers are too experienced. TAs are also very helpful. If you have any doubts, you can ask them anytime.

Other: I have an interest in Data Science and research, so I took it. You can find lots of events and fests to enjoy and attend here. AIIMS is nearby, you can enjoy their fest too. Connectivity is good, like 7/10.

Integrated course at IISER, Pune.

Placements: While coming to placement training I learned and experienced a lot, which is worth the money invested for placements. Zeus Numerix and Shell are some of the top recruiters from the college of IISER, Pune. Comparatively successive rate of placements is huge.

Faculty: Attendance history is most important which admit has to write semester examinations without any punishment or penalties. Faculty members arrange extra classes for students who are unable to perform well in the mid-exams. Weekly assignments and challenges are prepared by them in Google link.

Other: Management of the college always says that participation is more important than winning or losing. Students dress conservatively according to their convenience, but it must be formal. They pave a path for creation, innovation, and implementation followed by succession.

Best college in academics for pursuing science, but decent in the infrastructure of sports complex.

Placements: Mostly, people go abroad to do research and do a PhD in my department. Students also prepare for GSI. In my course, there are no placements. In mathematics, the average package ranges from 7-10 LPA. The top recruiting company is Deloitte, but if students are referring for placements, then they should not join this college. Internships are similar to those in basic sciences, and most people go abroad for that. It is well-paid in India and Canada, i.e., a package that ranges from 40-50 LPA. Students used to go for Maitacs every year, but now people go to Tokyo, France, Germany, and the US.

Infrastructure: As compared to other IISERs, we have the worst infrastructure for living, but Wi-Fi, classrooms, library, and labs are the best in the nation. The hostel is double shared occupancy till the final year, or sometimes triple sharing. If students are non-vegetarian, then the canteen is the best place to opt for. Medical facilities are available, and there is a free check-up as well as insurance of 1.5 lakhs. Sports and games infrastructure is not so good. It is decent, but IISER Kolkata provides us with full independence to play at any time.

Faculty: We have one of the best faculty members in India. The knowledge level is top. The qualification background is good, and every professor has a postdoctoral position outside India in a good and reputable college. Many of them are PhD holders from outside India. The teaching qualities are quite good as they are mostly researchers. Some professors are good. They have won the national and the best teachers award. We have the best curriculum as it is relevant, with research, and includes going abroad. Some of the departments are really tough. It is tough to pass in mathematics, etc.

Other: I chose this college because I saw it as one of the best in academics, and in the nation, and I just failed in JEE Advanced, so I have to go somewhere. This is my destiny. For my course betterment, if professors were more lenient in the grading scale, it would be best. Events and fests are not conducted on campus, but we are trying to restart the culture of the fest.

My two-year MS program.

Placements: In 2023, out of 90 students in our class, 70 students were hired by companies that were invited for the campus drives. A few of them initiated their ideas by starting new ventures, which was really inspiring for the newcomers and helped us achieve more.

Infrastructure: The possibility of involvement in extracurricular activities was comparatively lesser due to the hectic schedule for exams, projects, and searching. Opportunities for leisure days were rare. The library was organized with 25,000 books, all fully relevant and oriented to the academic portions.

Faculty: Professors were strict supervisors even during the model examinations and its evaluation were at some higher standards which made the students to perform well in the internals exams. While developing newer projects, our professors were best in resolving the trouble.

The oldest IISER- IISER Kolkata.

Placements: Placements here are average till now. The average package is 7 LPA and the highest package is 12 LPA with placement percentage of 20%. But as the geological sciences field is growing and developing we can expect more and high placements in the recent future.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is kind of average but infrastructure of laboratories and classrooms is quite good. Library has hundreds of books believe me you would love to come here to sleep. Mess food is better than most of the IITs and IISERs. Medical facilities include 3-4 ambulances, qualified doctors, and free medicine for all.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful You would love to discuss scientific things with them as all of them are researchers so you are going to get a good research exposure in here. Course curriculum is quite tough but no need to worry you can find time for extracurricular activities too. Students have to be aware of the exam time because you would need to study.

Pretty satisfied considering everything.

Placements: There are very few or no placements, the primary reason being that students want to pursue higher education or go into a different field. Though we have a placement cell and it does its work, mostly it’s the students who don’t want placements because the job might not pay well enough.

Infrastructure: Hostels and other facilities are all really good.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are really helpful and cooperative, except for a very few. All the staff and faculty members are friendly and approachable, they try their best to make the subject as interesting as possible. The exams are really well designed too.

Other: A lot of events and extracurricular activities. The college life of my dreams.
