Amazing Infrastructure For Research

Faculty: Faculty here seriously needs improvement. They are well-qualified but their teaching style is not relatable for students.

A short review of IISER Pune.

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.

Faculty: Professors are highly qualified in their respective fields with minimum qualifications as Ph.D. Many have at least 2-3 post-docs and they are leading scientists in India as well working on various projects. Curriculum prepares students not for the industry but for becoming scientists and pursuing higher studies.

IISER Pune- An escape from being introvert .

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.

Beyond the classroom: Life at IISER Pune.

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.

The whole system is based on research .

Faculty: Every faculty member at IISER is a scientist with extensive research experience. They have collaborated with foreign institutes for research as well. Semester exams are difficult to medium, depending on the students. We can work on semester projects during the semester and access the lab at any time.

Very nice hostel facility and good infrastructure.

Faculty: The curriculum is good as it has 4 months of semester, which includes all the exams. After it, you can do your internship anywhere in the world, depending on the preference of your professor. The professors are very talented as they are doing their research so all of them have Ph.D.s from a well-known institute. So this thing I like very much.

A college of hope and innovation for a great future.

Faculty: The course curriculum has a wide variety of topics that an undergrad would need, and in terms of research amenities, there are plenty of options. The teachers are themselves researchers and constantly instill a sense of research through their teaching. The semester exams are similar to any other CFTI and have a passing criteria of (class median)/2.

Amazing opportunity for research minds.

Faculty: The teachers have all graduated from the top universities in the world and have immense experience in their area of research. The course mainly focuses on introducing the students to various areas of research in the initial stages. The exams are mainly logic based in contrast to the memory based exams we had in our schools.

It is one of the best institutes. It has great facilities and infrastructure.

Faculty: Faculty members in our college teach us well. I am bio background student, and here in this course, I also have to study maths in the initial semesters, so it would have been difficult for me to do it, but with the help of the maths faculty and the extra effort they put into teaching, it becomes really smooth for me and other like me to cope up with the subject. The course curriculum is relevant, and it is very smartly planned, providing students exposure to all fields of research.
