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.

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. Salary packages up to 20 LPA were offered last year for students getting enrolled in research and development sector. They got enrolled in positions of scientists.

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.

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.
