It can be better regarding basic residential amenities and the placement scene.
Placements: Academic instructor, researcher in various STEM fields, and in companies like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, HAL, which are nationally recognised. Students mostly decide to continue their higher studies in scholarship Ph.D. programs abroad, and mostly do their postdoc research there.
Infrastructure: Mess food is top-notch, with cuisines available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian for both North and South Indians. Regular fumigation is organized every week, and food quality is closely monitored. UG hostel facilities are sometimes compromised with a shortage of water and electricity, and impurities in water are found once in a while. Overall, it is average.
Faculty: The faculty is very approachable and is ready to clear the doubts and discuss stuff beyond the classroom. Teaching is in the Socratic style of discussion, inspired by the top colleges in the West. The curriculum is equipped with rigour to build the readiness of students to pursue a career in Science.

Review of Indian Institute of Science.
Placements: The percentage of students who get placed in my course is good. The highest package offered is 10 LPA. The average package of my course is only 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies that visit the college are from India. The percentage of students who got internships from my course is 80%.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my department are very good. Wi-Fi is not available in my course. All things are present for students. The quality of code made in my college is good. Medical and sports facilities are available for all students.
Faculty: Teachers in my course are helpful, but they are not knowledgeable. They have great teaching qualities. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams in my course are easy. More than 95% of students pass with good marks.

Review of Indian Institute of Science.
Placements: As I have seen I can say that campus placement conditions have improved in IISc after the inception of the campus placement cell. The average package is around 25 LPA. Since most of the students go for higher studies from IISc, you will see the placement percentage to be low. I am also going for higher studies so this is the placement experience.
Infrastructure: From what I have seen, the college has quite a good infrastructure compared to the other colleges in the city. Wi-Fi service is available all around the campus. Our classrooms are very clean. The library has a good collection of books. We have clean washrooms. The hostel does not have good things. The food is the worst. Sports are good.
Faculty: Faculty members are helpful and well-qualified, like Ph.D. holders. The teaching quality is good, and the course makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are more difficult than those at other colleges, but they help in building students. The passing CGPA is above 9. Overall good experience.

Review of Indian Institute of Science.
Placements: Placement and job opportunities here are excellent. The total number of companies visiting for placements is much higher than any other college in the class. The list of companies includes LnT, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Jindal Steel, Wipro, TCS, A2Z Solutions, and the list goes on. There is a placement cell at the university that assists students in securing placements. They prepare students for upcoming opportunities.
Infrastructure: The course curriculum is very lucrative. As a student of accounts and tax, I was taught these subjects in great depth. Additionally, regular classes were held, which proved to be extremely helpful as we had just transitioned from school to college. Exams were held semester-wise, meaning we had internal assessments twice a year. The hostel infrastructure is rated 7 out of 10, the food 9 out of 10, hostel facilities 7 out of 10, gym facilities 8 out of 10, and strictness 5 out of 10. Some strict rules can make students feel aggressive.
Faculty: The faculty at this university is excellent, and all the teachers are highly skilled. They also provide extracurricular activities. All faculty members hold Ph.D. degrees, and they are very cooperative and responsible. The semester system is in place, which includes 2 CA tests in a single year and 2 semester-end exams each year. Every subject includes practical work, which encompasses assignments and projects.
