IISER Thiruvananthapuram a leading research institute of India
Likes
- The think that I like about the college is its natural beauty it is situated in a hill of western ghats range near a rain forest. So we are lucky enough to have some mesmerizing views of nature in monsoon.
- Apart from the views I like about the talks and conferences by various distinguished persons that are organised in the institute this year Morten Meldal came who was the Chemistry Nobel Laureate of 2022.
Dislikes
- The institute is about 40 kms away from Thiruvananthapuram city and its nearest town is vithura which is around 7 kms so there are not many shops or restaurants near the campus. Although the transport system is appreciable.
- The institute is situated in a hill so if you miss the bus going to the academic block then we need walk around 1.5 km to the academic block. And it's horrible to walk on the roads of hill in sunny days .
Remarks :
IISERs have an excellent performance in research. Many of the students from IISER s went to some of the top universities across the world for higher studies. Here most of the students want to go for higher studies so placement cells is not as active as IITs or NITs. But in research it has an outstanding environment which much more better than any other NIT or new IITs. There are some students who got campus placements from IISERs also but the number is quite less than engineering colleges. Apart from academics.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course curriculum is little bit different from the other colleges or universities providing BSc or MSc or integrated MSc course. In IISERs in BS-MS course the first students need to complete a foundation course in which they need to study all the subjects physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, data science, and also lab courses in physics chemistry, and biology. This foundation course lasts for one year after completing the foundation course students need to complete one-semester pre-major course where they need to take three subjects out of six: physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, data science, and earth science. And the faculties are well trained and most of them have done their PhD or post-docs from abroad. In one semester we have two exams sem and end sem and along with it one or two quizzes. Meritorious students avail of scholarships like INSPIRE (issued by Govt. of India) or institute scholarships for financially weaker students.
Internships Opportunities :
I am a first-year student so I was not able to get any paid summer internship. I am doing a reading project under a mathematics professor at my institute and an online summer internship program REYES at the University of California, Berkeley whose link I got from the placement cell of the college. Although there are a good number of students in the third or fourth year who can get some international internships like DAAD-WISE, MITACS , CHARPAK, KAUST etc.
Placement Experience :
It is a research institute most of the students from here go for higher studies abroad. Around 70% of students go for PhD in abroad every year. And from the rest 30% of some of the students go for PhD positions in India. And around 7-10 % of students go for jobs just after completing BS-MS. There is a placement cell here, last year one of the students got placed in TCS with a package of 18 lakhs per annum.
Campus Life :
IISER Thiruvananthapuram conducts two annual fests one Anvesha ( science fest ) and Ishya ( cultural fest) and a sports event Itsav. Apart from these events there are some inter IISER cultural and sports events are also organised annually . There is also a student's recreation centre (SRC) which is for some extracurricular activities like singing dancing. Classrooms are also well maintained and fully digitalised. The library and more than computer labs are also provided for the students purpose Library is fully digitalised and we have access to almost all of the top journals. There are many social clubs which includes maths club , chemistry club, physics club, biology club,maths club, astronomy club,music club, dance club and many more . Hostels are good and the mess food is above average. It is a fully residential campus so each and every one of the students gets hostel accommodation. The institute also provides well maintained sports facilities for the students.

Sct review
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose Computer Science and Engineering (AI & ML) because of my interest in technology, programming, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The curriculum follows KTU regulations and covers both theory and practical subjects. Most faculty members are qualified . Internal exams and semester exams are conducted on time. The difficulty level is moderate to a lil bit high and students who attend classes regularly can perform well.
