Only come here if you actually want to study Science, not for the name that it is a top institute.

Placements: There is no such placement opportunity here. Being a research institute, it actually not supposed to provide placements to their students. Yes, you can apply for better Ph.D. opportunities, which will provide you stipend. Although, the institute has an underdeveloped cell which may help you for placements in further years.

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.

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...

It is one of the best and premier institutes to pursue your degree in Basic Sciences.

Placements: IISER Kolkata is not meant for placements; it's meant for those students who are highly interested in science and passionate about pursuing research as a career or in academia and working as scientists in various world-renowned laboratories. But we do have a placement cell, which is growing every year and some pharmaceutical companies do visit our campus for placements. Especially the DCS & DES students opt for placements but note the numbers are very low as people here prefer to go for higher s...

Really good for students who are interested in research.

Placements: People at IISER Kolkata don't really go for placement as they are more interested in research. For this reason, there are very few placements at IISER Kolkata and the number of people who take placement here is very low—around 10 percent with an average package of 15 LPA.

The campus life is excellent.

Placements: Our college does not provide good placements. Many students go for higher studies abroad with very good scholarships. Students receive both national and internal recognition for their work.

I would recommend students to join this college.

Placements: Many students opt for higher studies. They pursue Ph.D. abroad. The remaining students prepare for civil services and other exams. It is a premium institute, and internships are also offered in this course.

Our college has very good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: As this is a research institute, it gives good opportunities for higher studies like Ph.D in India and abroad but not for placements. Students can get placements if they are from DMS. Our college is a good place for students interested in research because they get hands-on experience from various labs.

Review of Indian Institute, Kolkata.

Placements: Students go abroad for research works and then be a professor and researcher. Some seniors got jobs at some R&D of renowned institutes.

Review of IISER Kolkata - Indian Institute of Science Education & Research.

Placements: From the whole batch, around 10-15% of students get placed in good companies. Most of the students who get placed are from the department of chemical sciences or department of biological sciences. Out of the very few who opt for jobs rather than higher studies or civil services, most of them get placed in well-off companies with a good package. This is before the establishment of the placements cell, with the founding of the placements cell recently, and the great tie-ups, placements, and packag...
