Amazing Infrastructure For Research
Learning Experience: Being one of the best institutes in India, all the facilities including accommodation and classroom environment is top notch. Learning experience is amazing by classrooms with digital screens and air conditioned. The library provides a wide range of hard and soft copies of books and free subscription to the top research journals in India.
Placements: Placements are really good. In 2024, almost 95% of students got placed on campus. The highest package is 18 LPA. The minimum package is 8 LPA. Internships are provided by the college itself every year. It includes 1-week foreign trip for research and development.
Faculty: Faculty here seriously needs improvement. They are well-qualified but their teaching style is not relatable for students. The curriculum is overall relevant expect for the learning experience. IISER Pune makes students industry-ready. Students need attention all over the course for qualifying the exams.

About health, we have a medical clinic named Wellness Clinic and an apollo pharmacy for medicines and wellness things, and even first aid kits in almost every building.

A short review of IISER Pune.
Placements: Placement is not the main goal of this course. It prepares you for future studies like an M.Sc. or Ph.D. There is a placement cell that mostly takes Data Science students. I don't have information on the placement scene as I am not pursuing Data Science.
Infrastructure: There is great infrastructure available. Most common areas, including the main building, classrooms, and even common halls in hostels, have access to the college Wi-Fi. Undergraduate labs aren't great, but they provide a good experience in a lab. All classrooms are air-conditioned and have both a blackboard and a projector. The mess food is good, and there is a pharmacy and a clinic open 6 days a week.
Faculty: Professors are helpful. They are mostly available in the office during office hours. Teaching quality depends from person to person, but it is more than sufficient. The course curriculum may seem irrelevant during the first few semesters, but it helps support more interdisciplinary research in the future.

IISER PUNE is one of the leading science institutions of the country.
Placements: Most students opt for higher studies in Ivy League Colleges. Only 30% of students go for alternatives like industry jobs, government jobs, or MBAs.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure and hostel facilities are top-notch in IISER Pune. Wi-Fi is available everywhere on the campus except in hostels.

Beyond the classroom: Life at IISER Pune.
Placements: IISER mainly focuses on the overall learning and practical experience of the students, mainly in research in pure sciences field so placement opportunities are relatively low in IISER PUNE. Top roles include data analyst, scientific researcher, analyst, industrial research and development, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are moderate in the hostels; hygiene is regularly maintained, such that appointed staff daily clean corridors, washrooms and common rooms. WiFi is available on the ground floor of the hostel and some of the common rooms. Labs are top-tier, as they are specifically made for research purposes. All up-to-date instruments are present. Classrooms are big, air-conditioned, and of good quality to focus on the lectures. The library contains all the relevant and extracurricular materials.
Faculty: Yes, the professors are really educated and really helpful in solving any doubts and there are teacher assistant, which further help in doubts. The course is very relevant to the current real-world applications I wouldn't say industry-ready, as it's not an engineering college. The semester exam difficulty level lies in between moderate and tough. Relative grading is the system for passing and failing. You have to score more than half of the class median to pass the course.
Other: I chose this course as I wanted to do pure research in the sciences. The best thing about the course is you learn a lot and you get the real-world picture of what the advances in sciences are. Mess food can be improved. Events are no less, as there are several throughout the year for extra fun activities for students like the annual test Karvaan, cultural fests, freshers party, etc.

IISER Pune- An escape from being introvert .
Placements: Less than 1 percent of students get placed every year as the placement cell is newly formed and it does not provide enough assistance for placements right now. And the only placement that it offers is into IT companies. So students with other disciplines do not get placed.
Infrastructure: IISER Pune is a fully residential campus with all the modern amenities like Wi-Fi, state-of-the art labs, and libraries. The classrooms are sufficient to host 300 students at a time. The hostel is well-equipped with modern facilities like Wi-Fi, 24/7 hot showers, and drinking water. Canteen serves nutritious and hygienic meals with multiple options. The campus has various courts for different sports activities, including a gym.
Faculty: The faculty were very knowledgeable and helpful in providing students with proper mentorship. The BSMS course is well designed to pursue knowledge in various interdisciplinary areas in the first two years, followed by specialization in the respective discipline of interest.
Other: Apart from academia, it provides the best environment for becoming socially active through various extracurricular activities from various clubs. It holds various events and festivals throughout the year that help in engaging students with other stuff.
