Review of Indian Institute of Science.

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 r...

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Life at Indian Institute of Science.

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.

IISc at a glance: an institute with a legacy of excellence.

Infrastructure: Most important parts of campus have Wi-Fi. The library is one of the biggest in India. IISc has some of the most advanced research facilities. Classrooms are basic but that's what's needed. Rooms are quite basic, with shelves, cupboards, and a study table. Rooms are quite good given the price. IISc has the best messes of any institute in the country. There are five messes. They offer a variety of cuisines. The menu is very varied and most food items are amazing.
