Good infrastructure and facilities. Absolutely satisfied with faculty and studies.

Placements: If you are looking for placements, then it is not a place for you, Here students mailny focus on research, then Ph.D. Although there are placements in college, not as many as IIT. Students do Ph.Ds abroad or in India and get a stipend. Many students preferred doing Ph.D. from abroad.

Best faculty members and good infrastructure.

Placements: If you are coming for a job, then it is not a good option. Because most of the students choose to study further and do a Ph.D. in their specific subject. Since students do not choose jobs, placement cells are not that developed.

The administration is slow.

Placements: In IISERs, students are encouraged to become scientists; hence, many students go for a Ph.D. in their respective topic of interest. Therefore, we can't expect any kind of placement from here but students get selected for Ph.D.s at top universities abroad or in India as well.

Review for the MS in Space Physics from IISER Kolkata.

Placements: IISER Kolkata is offering multiple placements and internship opportunities to students every year. Students are getting handsome salary packages, averaging about 7-12 LPA. Most students secure placements in space research institutes. The college provides proper placement training to the students.

An overview on IISER-K by an undergraduate student.

Placements: As an undergraduate student, I know less about the placements. But my goal is to complete the BSMS course and get a Ph.D. offer from a good university. Because even if the college has placements, the package is not so much. On average, you can get 6 to 7 LPA. And very few students are offered, actually. The roles are mainly researcher and teacher. Internship opportunities are easily available. But you've got to work for it; email the professors again and again. I haven't applied or am willing to...

All about IISER Kolkata .

Placements: The institute is meant for students who are interested in research; there is no placement. Like, very few students sit for placements. Generally, students prefer that Ph.D. internships are not in companies; you will intern in some professors labs, which you have to find ourselves.
