Teachers really want to teach, they take every class and rarely take leaves.

Placements: From the fifth semester, students were eligible for campus placements. Various product-based and service-based companies like Flipkart, Accenture, Scalar, Visa, etc., visited. The college made efforts to every student placed.

Infrastructure: The library was good, and the range and availability of books were decent. The librarian was also cooperative. There were no charges for library fees if you took a book for 5 days. The college also provided bus facilities for students and faculty members.

Faculty: Faculty to student ratio was 1:10. The course structure was well-defined for all departments. Facilities were very helpful. Two tests were conducted in a single semester, and the average of both tests was sent to the university. The marking scheme was transparent, accurate, and deserved.

Other: Our college organized fests and many sports activities. In the fest, college students arranged their respective shops and sold products, earning a pretty good amount. Many shops like clothes, food, chaat, etc. Enjoyment during these fests was fun.

The extra curriculum is commendable here now, and then something goes on.

Placements: From the 3rd year, students become eligible for campus placements. The college also gives the opportunity to sit in placements even after passing out. The average package that our college offers is around 3.6 LPA, while the highest one can reach up to 16-18 LPA. It is based on the student's merit and performance. Every year, many renowned companies visit and offer career opportunities to students.

Faculty: Faculty to student ratio is proper, as it should be in a college. I personally like Debraj Roy sir since he is very fun-loving and at the same time explains Maths as if it is the easiest subject in our course. I can't recall any faculty members whom I do not like. There are 4 internal exams, CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4, and a semester exam at the end.

Other: As I stated earlier, every now and then there are activities going on. The major is the freshers' party and the fashion show. They are the highlights of this university, while other universities are failing at IT. The second thing is the fest, which usually happens in February and goes on for about a week. Various concerts are also held.

Offered by Indian Institute of Science

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall best institute for M.Sc. in biological sciences course.

Placements: 79% of the students are transferred from my branch this year with an average of 17 LPA and the highest 27 LPA. The lowest offered is 7 LPA. The major recruiters are Pfizer, Amgen, Syngenta, and other companies. Internship opportunities are too good with almost 65% of students getting it only from the institute. Top roles offered as Biochemist, Geneticist, and more.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available on campus. Libraries, labs, and classrooms are kept up properly. The air conditioning in the institutes is nonexistent. The number of supports is quite large. Hostel food is quite good. They have a restaurant, too within the hotel there is a medical room. There is a gym at this campus as well. Our campus is where sports are played. A playground is also available.

Faculty: Excellent instruction is provided. Every professor is amiable and supportive. Additionally, they provide useful knowledge to help pupils get ready for the workforce. Exams this semester are moderate. Additionally, its marking method is not subpar. Relatively numbers at our institute make life easier for students. Over 70% of them pass.

Life at Indian Institute of Science.

Placements: The institute focuses more on research rather than placements. Students mostly come here for research, so there is no talk about placements. There is a placement cell that works for students, but as I said, the institute focuses more on research rather than placement.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities are quite good, with smart classrooms equipped with air conditioning. The same goes for labs and the library. The hostel is quite good, having a fan, table, chair, cupboard, and light with an attached balcony. Mess food is good, and medical insurance is also provided along with a health center facility.

Faculty: Teaching is good with world-class faculty having professors from foreign as well. They are really helpful and highly qualified. The course curriculum prepares students for research rather than focusing on industry. Semester exams contain mid-semester and end-semester exams. The pass percentage is around a CGPA of 7.0.

Q: Is it hard to get into IISc Bangalore?

IISc Bangalore admission is competitive due to high cutoff and limited seats. The entrance tests required for getting admission in the institute are taken by many. Hence, the chances of securing seat becomes less. Students are required to perform well in the entrance exam required for their course to get admission in the institute. In 2024, the JEE Main closing R1 cutoff for General category candidates was 903 for BSc (Research) in Physics.
