The college is worth it for career pathways.

Placements: We can find job opportunities in fields like teaching, marketing, and various sectors. Hindustan Unilever, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, and Biocon are major industry recruiters for the discipline of Master of Science. Various research council like CSIR offers intern opportunities.

Faculty: The college only hires the most experienced lecturers with multi-tasking personalities. They also secured a good grade from a recognised organisation. They truly justified their roles, like providing complete assistance even in a pinch. There will be regularity in the conduct of tests and exams.

The college gives promising internships and jobs.

Placements: In various fields, especially in the field of searching, they provide massive offers with different packages. Every year, a bunch of students get hired with massive packages literally starting from 3.2 LPA for a year. Processes like internships are done by us in the pre-final year suggested by the team.

Infrastructure: There will be heavy competition among the students for getting seats in the college. Only a few seats are provided under the management quota. Sometimes we may see issues like partiality, and priority within the campus environment. For relations and entertainment, some ideas are encouraged in the hostel.

Faculty: Teachers boost us with courage and positivity. Usually, teachers conduct surprise tests instead of conducting daily tests. Throughout the whole program, we are under the assistance of the same teachers by taking different subjects every semester.

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.
