Hello Nishar Ahmed, your query is definitely correct but as far as this institute is concerned, is misplaced. With just 2 or 3 students out of almost 150, is no way statistics can be of help. Just to satisfy you, median package was 6.5L and 8L for previous two years. To help you better understand the typicalness or exclusivity of this institute, I am attaching a link:-https://www.shiksha.com/college/indian-institute-of-science-education-and-research-mohali-22265/placementBest wishes to you.

Hello Nishar Ahmed, it's a very tough query to answer. There are different reasons. Firstly it's an institution where research in basic Science is the motto. This makes it unfit for normal recruiters. Secondly even students do not want to get placed not only after graduation but even after PG as almost every student opts for PhD. This results in very skewed ratio of just handful of students out of more than 100 getting placed. Frankly speaking, no one joins this place for getting job after undergraduate postgraduate or doctoral studies. Research oriented work is preferable to students. Hence many get opportunities to even work abroad as interns. However to give you information about placements and recruiters, I am attaching a link:-https://www.shiksha.com/college/indian-institute-of-science-education-and-research-mohali-22265/admissionBest wishes to you.
