Review of IISER Thiruvananthapuram - Indian Institute of Science Education & Research.
Placements: Placements in the college are few, as most students opt for higher studies. A few companies, like ITC Infotech, TCS, etc., visit the campus for placements. The placement cell is increasing its base, and hopefully, it will be able to invite more R&D companies. The chemistry branch has good placements, and many companies visit the campus for placements. Many of the students are bringing opportunities for internships. But others have a great opportunity to pursue higher studies anywhere in India or abroad. Most of the students here pursue a Ph.D. after their PG. Otherwise, some companies directly hire students.
Infrastructure: The courses are really good. Follows standard structure. And the main focus is the research line. You have to do a major project, which is somehow similar to doing research. It helps you build confidence. Labs and exams are not that hectic. Hostels are nice. Rooms are good. For the first two years, there is a double occupancy in the rooms, but afterwards, a single room is provided to all the students. There is a gym with all the facilities. There is a stadium and courts for different games like volleyball, basketball, etc. The mess food is good.
Faculty: Teachers are the attraction of this campus. IISER has the best of the best facilities in the world, and they top the list in the world. They are well-experienced and talented. They are always approachable. They have allotted special office time for students to clarify doubts and have tutorial sessions for doubt clearance. The lab faculty is also very good. Most faculty members are active scientists and, therefore, are awesome teachers. There was a semester system for exams. CGPA was attributed to the students. Working in a lab is the greatest experience for students. The labs were well-equipped with the materials required.

Many national and international companies come every year to offer placements for the students, and around 80% of students get placed. The average salary of the entire batch is 4-5 Lacs per annum.
