    Indian Institute of Science in 2025 admission for the best college or not in M.Tech ME course.
    Placements: In this college, the best package is provided through the placement campus. In this college, many technology companies offer internships like TCS, Wipro, and Accenture, and these types of companies are involved with the college. On this college campus, to participate, one condition is that 70 percent marks are required.
    Infrastructure: This college has many companies and multiple facilities provided by the college, but hostel facilities are not provided by the college. In this college, the canteen food is very tasty and very neat and clean, and there are a total of 2 canteens for 5 departments of the college. This college organizes sports and games tournaments every year.
    Faculty: The teachers in this college are very good and very helpful to the students. In this college, teachers explain the topics very deeply and are very knowledgeable. This course is a total of 1 to 2 years in duration and depends on the university. This course is very difficult to clear the exam because very tough questions are used in the exam paper.

    Review of Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru.
    Placements: 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. Personally, I am also going for higher studies.
    Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is comfortable with student furniture and 24/7 Wi-Fi access on campus. The library is well-stocked with a vast collection of books and journals for self-study. The lab is well-equipped with all necessary tools. While the hostel is average, the food in the mess is neither tasty nor hygienic. The college provides good sports and medical facilities.
    Faculty: Faculty members are very approachable, almost all whom I have met. They are highly qualified in their fields. You can meet them anytime; just need to drop a mail. There are enough faculty members, so there won't be any issues regarding the student-to-faculty ratio. They also apply the best methods for studying.
    Other: One of the most popular cultural festivals at IISc is "Pravega," an annual techno-cultural fest organized by the students. They also have an annual sports meet. Apart from these, sports-specific tournaments are also there, like the inter-department cricket tournament.

    Quite disappointed because of the faculty members.
    Placements: There were about 55% of the students were placed in my department. The highest package was 9 LPA, and the average package was 5.5 LPA. The lowest package was 4.5 LPA. The students who got internships in several recruiting companies were 35%.
    Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facilities were also for everyone on the campus. The campus was very environment-friendly and clean. The labs and classrooms were managed properly. The hostel rooms were very comfortable. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen was good.
    Faculty: Teachers were knowledgeable enough and skilled. They became rude and ignorant sometimes because students asked their doubts after the lectures. The teaching quality was okay. Our course curriculum was not relevant because not much happened apart from studies.
