M.Sc. in Chemical Sciences - Batch of 2026

4Placements5Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
The best research college in India, helpful professors, best classrooms, and other facilities.
Placements: Placements here are not that good as M.Sc chemical science is a very new course here. Placements here are as low as 10% (as most students go for PhD). The highest package is around 13 LPA. The lowest salary is 3 LPA. The average salary is 8 LPA. Most recruiting companies are battery related companies (last year 2 students got placed at Ola). Anyone willing to go for internships may apply to other institutes. Most likely, they got an internship in various educational institutes like IITs and IISERs. Top roles like you have to join a professor's lab for M.Sc. project in IISc where you will work professor on research.
Infrastructure: Classrooms here are really advanced. All the classrooms are like seminar halls. Wi-Fi has an average speed of 100 Mbps. Labs too are very advanced and JRD Tata library is very good. Library is open 24X7, except Sunday. Every student gets a single room here, we have 5 messes where we get food (2 non-veg and 3 veg). We also have two canteens. We have health center for medical purposes. Doctors and nurses are very kind here. For sports and games, we have gymkhana.
Faculty: Actually, the people who teach us in the classrooms are researchers first and professors next. They are highly knowledgeable persons. They encourage us to come to their lab and ask any doubts during the lecture time. The courses here are very relevant and makes the students industry ready. The main issue is the exams. You will be writing exams almost 1-3 times a week. Exam pressure is too much here. Sometimes it gets monotonous writing and preparing for exams every day. More than 99% of students clear without any supplement.
Other: I chose this course because this is the best research institute in India. The best thing about my course is that we learn relevant things. One thing that I think should get better is that I want less number of course papers for the completion of M.Sc. Events and fests are very good here. We have 2 fests each year, one is Pravega and another is Rhapsody. The campus is very green. There is no scholarship for M.Sc students currently.

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.

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.

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.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, and they are well qualified. Their teaching quality is okay, but I am not personally satisfied with all the teachers because of the language problem. The native language they use, while for improvement. The course is relevant. The students are industry-ready. The passing percentage is 85%.
