Professors are really nice, they are well qualified and provide the best knowledge.

Placements: Students are eligible for the placement in their final year of the course. We have BS-MS, MSc, IPhD and PhD currently. Students from BS-MS are more likely to be placed. Though placement is less as students mostly go for research after masters. We have a placement cell that notifies about the opportunities in industries and academia. As my plans are to pursue a PhD after getting this degree, I never got interested in a placement opportunity.

Professional behavior of Dr. Rajendra Kurapati of IISER TVM.

Placements: Only a few students from Physics or Math are given opportunities to work in companies and most of them apply for a Ph.D. The new placement cell that was set up in 2022 offers internship opportunities. The credentials of each student are the most important factor in them getting a Ph.D. position abroad. The titles of the institute, IISER, might not help if the student has low grades, and they must strive to keep their CGPA above 7.0 at least for a chance to get admitted into universities in the ...

IISER TVM - A beautiful place to pursue your scientific interests.

Placements: At IISER TVM (and generally across all IISERs), placements are not the primary focus. Students do not enroll here merely to secure a job, but to genuinely explore their passion and pursue a deep understanding of various scientific disciplines. While placements in Data Science are notable, not many students opt for direct placements. Most choose to pursue higher education, such as Ph.D. programs, after completing their BS-MS degrees. A significant number of students secure admissions in prestigio...

This is a good institute if you are interested in research.

Placements: For Masters, students are eligible from the 4th semester for placements. A large number of companies will visit and a maximum number of students are placed every year. The highest package is 10 lakh per year. And the average package is 3 lacs per year. More than 90 percent of students are placed every year. I am trying to get placed in a good company.

Campus life is the best in our college.

Placements: The placements cell is growing and has not yet fully developed. Very few companies in consultancy, data Science, etc. approach the Institute for recruitments. Mostly, engineering and economic sciences students are placed with an average placement package of 7 LPA. Some companies recruiting are Deloitte, Dr. Reddy's Lab, etc. Other BSMS students generally go for higher studies abroad and in the country.

IISER: Beautiful College for Pure Science Research.

Placements: IISER TVM has just started its placement cell. But with that being said, good placement offers are coming. However, IISER is a Science Institute where research into pure Science is given importance. So, most students go abroad for Ph.D. And of course, there are many who opt for the civil service and Jobs as well. Most students do internships during the summer break, starting from their first year. In fact, internships are encouraged even if there are no credits for it for the foundation years. t...

Review of IISER Thiruvananthapuram.

Placements: There is a placement cell in our college as well, which helps students to get jobs. However, most of the students in IISER, after five years of BS-MS, pursue Ph.D. abroad. Almost 75-85% of the students get Ph.D. opportunities outside India every year. ISRO and DRDO also recruit students for junior scientist jobs from here after BS-MS. Most of the students got internships at IITs, IISc, TIFR, IISERs, and some students at foreign universities as well, like Harvard, Stanford, Max Planck, etc.

Placements: In my batch ( BSMS batch 21) there were around 230 students. Mainly the curriculum is interdisciplinary. During the first two years of the course foundation courses are taken for the subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology and mathematics. More than 80% of students from my batch got internship during this summer in different IISERs and in different prestigious institutions in India .

It has a competitive and enriching environment with helpful professors, but no great placements.

Placements: Most of the students from IISER TVM opt to do a Ph.D. The stipend for a Ph.D. varies from 800 to 2000 euros. They apply in the US and Europe for a Ph.D. position. There are very few students who go to industry after BSMS. There is a new placement cell here that is trying to help students get jobs.

Good campus life and facilities. Ideal for research purposes, and NOT for recruitment.

Placements: The courses offered in IISER TVM are research oriented and hence not fit for recruitment by IT/professional companies. Hence the institute doesn't have a proper placement cell. But the students here are extremely qualified for working in Research and development laboratories and for pursuing higher studies in Science subjects. Hence most students choose higher studies options like Ph.D. after graduation, instead of jobs.

I am satisfied with the total infrastructure.

Placements: Our college does not provide placements. Students opt for higher studies or MBA or for working in a lab, and they probably have to apply separately. There is a placement cell. Some students got recruited in research organisations like Hindustan Unilever, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Asian Paints, etc. A top role offered in our course is a scientist. Almost 70-80% of the students get an internship.
