Remarks :
I got admission via one of three possible channels (KVPY, JEE advanced, IISER aptitude test) for admission which is KVPY. It's an exam that used to provide students with seats in IISERs, and IISc along with scholarships until their masters.
Course Curriculum Overview :
This course mainly focuses on building foundations for basic science among students. As I always wanted to become a scientist I chose this institution. In my opinion, IISERs are way more research than other Indian Universities because of the following reasons 1. Course structure focuses a lot on building up essential skills for both experimental and theoretical sciences. 2. The extensive summer internship culture in IISERs helps the students to get introduced to research from their very first year. 3. The professors have connections with other scientists worldwide which can help students explore research in a lot of advanced laboratories and institutes. Talking about the course structure here1. Courses are usually pretty extensive as every course includes a lot of assignments, quizzes, two mid-sems and one end-sem. 2. As the core courses here for the first two years include all four subjects (PCMB) the core courses don't go that deep which makes the major courses pretty extensive.
Internships Opportunities :
Here internships are research internships mostly where students go to other university labs or our uni kabs to explore research methods and all. This starts from the first year itself. They are expected to submit a report by the end of summer where they get 3 months break for this internship.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Fees are being hiked every year which almost increased 50% in the last five years. Scholarship options are available like Inspire and institutional scholarships for the EWS category. For Inspire scholarship you need to have your class 12 score in the range mentioned by DST.
Campus Life :
We have insomnia (cultural fest) around October. Our library is one of the best university libraries for sure. Classrooms are well equipped with great sound systems, and good desks. The sports facilities are quite good. Our club culture is really active. Starting from academic clubs like physics club we have clubs for loads of extracurricular activities. Our institute is very diverse culturally as there are people from all over India.
