Course Curriculum Overview

5

The course here is heavy. You have to learn mathematics thrice as the other bachelor courses in India, statistics is twice as the other bachelor's degree and the physics courses here are equivalent to the courses in a normal bachelor's degree and CS courses are quite similar to what is studied in IIT in first two years. And one has to do all these courses within 3 years here. So the curriculum is heavier than any other university in India. But the positive part is we get to learn so much. We are efficient enough for mathematics, statistics, and CS jobs and of course research jobs. If one can handle the pressure it's amazing.

Internships Opportunities

4.5

Every year professor here took students for research projects/ summer projects (this is only about the math department). There are many departments, if you look at the LIS/QMS department they get very good internships. They earn up to 1 lakh/month via those internships.

Fees and Financial Aid

There is no fees required at ISI. Here if you get above 60% every semester you will get a stipend of 5000/- per month and an additional contingency grant of 5000/- per semester. Only the hostel will cost you 200/- per month.

Campus Life

4.5

We have a small community of students who live full of life. Seniors are helpful. The library is amazing the wifi here is not that good. The sports are good. Every year we have an annual student fest, a freshers, a farewell and every major sports tournament.

Hostel Facilities

4

Good, that's all I can say. Not very nice and luxurious but quite comfortable. The double rooms are big and single rooms are small. Double rooms are like heaven. There is no refrigerator, which is problematic in the hostel.

Admission

The time I entered the admission process was difficult. Nowadays it's a lot easier. You just need to write one exam to enter here. In my time there were interviews and the questions used to be a lot more difficult than now.

Faculty

5

All the faculty here are very professional and friendly at the same time. They are expert in the field of their research. It is the premium quality of this institute. You can approach them whenever you like, they will do their best to help you. The student to prof. the ratio is very nice unlike other collages as there are very few students who get selected every year. Most of the faculty are active in research and they have earned their Phd from the named foreign university from famous mathematicians, so their recommendations are very powerful.

Other Applied Colleges

IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology - [IITKGP] | Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Electrical Engineering)

I gave JEE advanced when I was already in ISI (as the course at ISI started earlier). I got JEE advanced rank 3982, for that I got the branch (mentioned above) but my main interest was in mathematics that's why I didn't opted for IIT KGP. Also I know ther

Indian Institute of Science - [IISc], Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] (Mathematics)
Reviewed on Mar 5, 2025(Enrolled 2019)

Course Curriculum Overview:

There wasn't really any. It was mostly the friendliness of the profs that pulled me into maths. Do note that in IISc, the first three semesters are common and you pick majors after that. The maths curriculum prepares you for a future in either industry or academia. Moreover, one can take courses in other departments to help their industry pursuits. Only way would be to make some courses more interactive, but this hasn't been a problem for me personally. Most high level courses have two exams. Sometimes not even that. And exams generally aren't difficult for someone who has kept up with the course.

Placement Experience:

from 6th semister onwards students are eligible for pkacements. I dont know about the companies of placements as iam a fresher here. The placements here are really good in this course. After Msc forensic science the annual package in an average here is 2-5 lakhs. Almost 80% of forensic students get placement here. As iam pursuing my bachelors here, iam thinking of writing the entrance exam for NFSU gujarath for my Masters.

Placement Experience:

Our university has a training and placement office for the fourth and fifth year students. Before that you need to find internship opportunities yourself. The significant companies include EY, MoSpi, RBI, NSE etc. The is around 50% placements. The highest package was around 40 lakhs and the lowest 5 lakhs. I plan on working in the RBI after my degree.
