IISER Mohali, BS + MS

Remarks

My main reason to choose IISER Mohali was because my cousin was already studying there and one of my friend have cleared kvpy and he was going to take admission in IISER Mohali so I also choose IISERM and that's why I gave IAT exam and luckily get admission in IISERM.

Course Curriculum Overview

The Course Curriculum is very good and structured in a very nice way but the syllabus is too vast and semester time period is less so students find very difficult in completing the syllabus in that period of time. Teacher are highly efficient, all of them are from a great background.

Class Size: 220Course Fees: INR 66800 per year

Placement Experience

0.5

IISERs are not meant for placements and if you are going to iiser just for placement then it is the worst choice for you because IISER doesn't support placement after your 5 year degree. Students mainly go for phds.

College Events

There are regular talks, seminar and colloquiums in the campus. Faculties and researcher from other colleges, foreign universities visit there to give a talk on any scientific topic and students actively participate in those talks. Refreshment is also served there after seminars and talks which is also a great motivation for students to attend any talk or seminar.

Hostel Facilities

Yes, I stay in hostel and it is compulsory to stay in hostel and also there is Co-ed hostels in the IISER Mohali means boys and girls have combined hostels and also common mess. There is pay and eat system in mess. For the first 2 years two students live together in single room and from 3rd year onwards they get separate single room. There is a health center in thy college.

Hostel Fee: INR 4000 per year

The campus has good labs, a library, and facilities that support students academic development.

more internship opportunities would further improve students professional growth.

the CSE curriculum covers relevant subjects and provides a good foundation programming and computer science. It prepares students for futher studies and careers, through more industry-based projects and practical learning would be bemigficial.

University life

Likes

The infrastructure and faculty is very good. The university campus is very big containing different departments with the well qualified teachers. The teaching methods are very good and we can approach easily to the management for our queries.
The discipline is very well in the university campus. The proper follow up of rules and regulations is there in the campus. The rules regarding ragging are very strict and nobody will be forgive if caught in such offences.
The placement rate of the university is quite well in each and every department whether it is biosciences or engineering or any other department. The university ensures that each and every deserving student should get placement.

Dislikes

The first thing I dislike about university is the students are not allowed to use lifts because for some departments the classes takes place on top floors and it is very difficult for students to climb those floors multiple times.
The other thing I dislike is the problem of traffic outside the main campus gate in morning mad evening time. It take lot of time to get out of that traffic and it ultimately makes students late for their classes.
The last thing I dislike is there is no free transportation services for students inside campus because the size of university is very big and to go from one point to other the students have to walk a lot.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course offers theoretical as well as practical knowledge It prepare me very well for outside life and obstacles that I will face in outside world I think individual students must be asked for learning There is no such difficulty level

Placement Experience:

Chandigarh University provides good placement opportunities. Students can apply for jobs in their final year. Companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Deloitte offer jobs to students. The salary package depends on skills and performance. The university also helps students prepare for interviews. After completing my degree, I want to get a good job, learn new skills, gain experience, and build a successful career.

I joined Aakash Chandigarh for my jee coaching. After few test I realised that I am good in mathematics. And also I keep myself busy to do mathematics problem lot of time. Aftee my jee advance result I was surprised that I got 82 marks in mathematics and just passing criteria marks in phy and chm. After that I got 3-4 college but I dropped all of them due to my high intrest in mathematics. So ai choose IISER mohali. It allows one to develop and be much cleverer, intelligent and broad-minded. When a student studies subjects like mathematic it augments their understanding of the world, effects, causes, etc. It lets them develop scientific knowledge and theory about everything in their surroundings they may stumble across. Science causes progressive and extraordinary developments. It has aided people in finding the cure to numerous diseases, increase awareness, and has created endless possibilities for us...Read More
