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.

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.
