Remarks

College management is against students. Better choose iiser pune. Others iiser are managed better than this

Entrance Preview

IIT JEE Kvpy. This is good place if u want to do science. There are 3 systems of admission. IIT JEE, kvpy and board toppers.

Course Curriculum Overview

1

LISER kolkata is bad in course compared to other iiser, choose iiser pune if u want. Kolkata function in a very unprofessional way and course can change depending on faculty.

Internships Opportunities

Internship is nice. People mostly go abroad during summer. I myself have done internship in Australia, japan, Taiwan, norway. A stipend of rs 5000 per month is offered to all students but for internship funding is from host institute.

Placement Experience

0.5

Placemen t is zero. Only people get job on there own. Many people get phd in other countries. If u need placement u do everything on ur own. College doesn't give any kind of placement.

College Events

3

Science fest inquivesta. Onam and all religious festivals are also celebrated. Many more festival are starting to be celebrated. Better to be in some other place if u want to enjoy life.

Fee Structure And Facilities

U get rs 5000 per month stipend and fees is around 12k per semester. Mess flood is around 3-5k per month. U can go out and eat in other places. So this part is good

Fees and Financial Aid

Rs 5000 per month is given to every student. People may also get loan from SBi. Some of my friends have got loans from sbi and stipend is paid to the bank to repay loan.

Campus Life

4.5

Anything related to sports, art, science and robotics is good. Clubs manage all these. Gender ratio is bad, very less girls. People from all over india are here.

Hostel Facilities

1.5

Hostel is good but mess is bad. Mess is recently changed, so hope now its good. Its better if u go outside campus and eat from local shop

Alumni/Alumna

Many alumni do phd abroad. Some have got IAS. Other do phd in india, So mostly u have to be in academic. People complete ms and then take MBA or IAS and join them in 1 year.

Exam Structure

Exams are 30 mid semi, 50 end semi and 20 internal. But again a faculty can change it. So it is at the end all dependent on the faculty. He can do whatever he wants.

Faculty

2

Some Faculty are very good but most are bad. Good faculties don't saty here long as the institution is located in a remote village. So they stay for few days and then leave to some other college

Course Curriculum Overview:

Though the bachelor of science is pursued by someone who wants to research and develop some idea to help the modern world. The primary decision was to contribute to the society like the great scientists who have done so before. The curriculum provides a balanced approach of both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, theoretical knowledge from classes, assignments, homeworks and exams. Practical knowledge through the different workshops that are held in the college auditorium or online with successful men of the field who are brought as guests in them, from renowned scientists to great thinkers we have met a lot of them.
