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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Placements: Less placement is available because many would prefer to pursue a Ph.D. The best courses on campus are Chemistry and Biology. Everything is available, including lab training and projects during the semester. Many private companies, like Serum and Biotech, will invest in research.
