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.

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.

Best faculty members and good infrastructure.

Placements: If you are coming for a job, then it is not a good option. Because most of the students choose to study further and do a Ph.D. in their specific subject. Since students do not choose jobs, placement cells are not that developed.

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.

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. Studen...
