Course Curriculum Overview:

My academic program is a 5-year course that includes internship opportunities, providing hands-on experience. The faculty members are highly qualified, having graduated from reputable institutions IISER, IISC banglore and IIT's. They offer excellent support and guidance, always willing to help and provide the best .During my course, internal assessments were conducted,but the number of tests varied across different departments.CGPA is determined based on the performance in these semester exams and internal assessment also assignments were given frequency. Compared to JEE Main, JEE Advanced, and other entrance exams for IITs, the paper level in my course was relatively easier and more theoretical. The exams focused more on descriptive questions that required elaboration, rather than just multiple-choice questions (MCQs). This allowed for a deeper assessment of our understanding and application of concepts. They can be challenging and frustrating, making it difficult to stay engaged.

Remarks:

I was very interested in Research programs that made me choose this college. I came to know about this college through my institution where I did my entrance exam preparation. So to get admission and enter the college we have to write an exam called IAT (IISER APTITUDE TEST) and based on the scores we are selected. So this exam contains 60 multiple choice questions which include 15 biology , 15 chemistry , 15 physics and 15 mathematics. The question paper level will be harder than Neet paper and JEE main paper but easier than JEE advanced paper. The questions are moderately hard and tricky but students with good basics can crack the exam very easily. I was a student focusing on Neet exam which made my IAT exam preparation easier as l was studying for Neet and I also studied Maths from my school, I opted Bio maths in my Higher Secondary Education.

Placement Experience:

Placements are offered but most students opt out for higher studies.as it's a research institute people are more focused on completing their higher studies from abroad as it serves a better purpose to the degree.

Remarks:

I prepared for IAT exam. No GD-PI. I liked the location and the faculties in Physics are excellent. The bad thing would be the cutoffs for physics but can be done with a good enough CGPA from the start

Placement Experience:

No placement guarantee but tcs and other some companies visit campus for placement but number is below average. As most of the students go for phds in foreign as they get phd easily with higher basic pay. In year 2024 , only one student got placed in tcs. Only future is get phd offer in foreign countries.

Remarks:

For me Only factor to get admission in this college was to be scientist. As this college provide better platform for scholar to be a excellent scientist. As the professor in this college are quite famous scientist in india.

Placement Experience:

We have an increase in placement from pharmaceutical company and even companies like Bharat petroleum, but the student are not too focused on placement but rather experience, so the internship opportunities are many, the college have great relationship with many top level uni inside and outside of the country, I am talking about Harvard level university, IISER kolkata have a great reputation and you will get plenty of experience for internships, placement are also increasing year by year, thanks to the placement cell working hard.

Remarks:

I got to know about it through my father who is also in academia, I applied for IAT and cleared it, the exam is not that tricky but conceptual, the professors here are world class, but it's upto you how you utilise it( i didn't properly) the cut-off is if I remember is around 130+/180 for general to come to this IISER(i.e IISER kolkata)

Placement Experience:

Placements and job opportunities are quite good. People usually get placed in good companies if they want. Most people here. Opt for PhD after their studies as it will increase their profile. The Ph.D. is the most desired opportunity people over here want to seek Recruiters like Sun Pharma Cipla recruit over here the median average package is around 12 LPA. The Ph.D. opportunities are quite high colleges like Princeton and Stanford, offer PhD over here every year, and a good number of students, make it to colleges like this with a good Ph.D. PhDs are also well paid. So people usually offer a PhD.

Remarks:

A written test (riser aptitude test), has to be given for admission into a college. It lets you take admission in all the wiser and IISc. Iiser aptitude test consists of all four subjects, maths, physics, chemistry, and biology.

Placement Experience:

As an undergraduate student, I know less about the placements. But my goal is to complete the BSMS course and get a Ph.D. offer from a good University. Because even if the college has placements. The amount is not so much. On average, you can get 6 to 7 lpa. and very few students are offered actually. the roles are mainly researcher and teacher. Internship opportunities are easily available. But you've to work for it, email the professors again and again. I haven't applied or am willing to apply in the first year so I don't know about the projects and outcomes for now.

Remarks:

Mainly I was heading for an IIT but when I realized that Jee still needs mech preparation and I had no time, additionally I had a little nack towards research, I got to know about IISERs and IAT. I prepared for a month, sat for the exam, and got selected for IISER-K. The exam is very easy.

Placement Experience:

The name of our degree is BS-MS. Here we have not any placement system .Here they train us for research. They made us as a scientist. Very few student search for their job placement. Here 90% student got opportunity to do their P.H.D degree from out of india. For getting P.H.D placements we need to carry our C.G.P.A more than 7.5 mustly

Remarks:

I give IAT exams for getting chance in this exam. I choose this exams because their has too many research research opportunities . The cut off of this IAT exam varies between IISER wise. IISER kolkata cut off is around 1500AIR .And my collage experience is well.
