A good all rounder institute, and one of the best places to pursue research in India.
Placements: IISER Mohali doesn't have placements like typical engineering colleges. It is a research institute, and hence students opt to pursue higher education instead, I. e. PhDs. There are no packages offered but students wishing to work in the industry find jobs in R&D departments of companies. Many students wish to work as professors and go into education. You have the option to take a BS exist as well, without completing the whole BSMS course. Internships are provided to pursue research within the country and abroad.
Infrastructure: Although lifestyle here isn't extravagant, hostel and mess facilities at IISER Mohali are pretty good compared to a lot of other institutes in India. There exist multiple mess options, both subscription and coupon based. The quality of the food is decent and the menu is varied often. Wi-fi speed can vary depending upon how close you are to the routers, but it can cross 200-300 mbps at certain locations. IISER Mohali has one of the largest institute libraries in the country, 7 stories high, and is also air conditioned. Some floors start on throughout the night. There are two buildings solely dedicated to various labs and classrooms. Lectures take place in a lecture hall complex which consists of around 7 halls, varying in sizes. There is a large health center building which stays largely unused. You will get basic healthcare facilities there, along with therapists if you require them. There are two canteens, which are decent at best, but they get the job done. There is a sports complex and a community center. Sports facilities are good for sports like tennis, volleyball, cricket, football, badminton, and basketball. Table tennis, kabaddi, and other sports, not so much. Overall, quality of life at IISER Mohali is comfortable and satisfactory.
Faculty: The teachers are a mixed batch. Some of them will almost treat you like family, some will try to stay as detached from students as possible. The curriculum is decided by the teacher of the particular course, and the grading is revised every year if the professor so choose. Exams and study material for the first two years is very easy if you put in the time and effort. The other three years, the major years, will have you study the courses of your choice. Most students pass with ease. The course content is very up to date with the research happening in the field.
Other: The student culture at IISER Mohali is one of its the biggest strengths. There is near to no ragging, seniors are almost always helpful and supportive, and students treat each others as equal. We have been known to hold protests if things are wrong and unjust and there is an appreciable amount of unity among the student body. There are a lot of academic and cultural clubs here, with events happening very frequently. It is a very lively campus in that aspect. I spent a sizable part of my first two years doing a lot of extracurricular work.

The college had good placements in 2020, even during the pandemic.
Placements: In my course, there are 90-100 students. Packages offered after BSMS integrated course are not high, but the average package is 6-7 Lacs per annum. R&D companies recruit from here, like Loreal. 50-60% of students got internships, but they don't generally opt for it, and they rather go for PhD and higher studies to have a better chance in placements.
Infrastructure: The rooms are good and spacious, with good Wi-Fi 24 hours. There is a very good library for us to gather information. The food is not much good. Sometimes, you have to go out to eat, and many eatery shops are available near the campus. So, it is not a major issue. Medical facilities are good, and there are teams for almost every sport.
Faculty: The teachers are good. Sometimes, the teachers tell seniors to help us, which is a very good thing. If we have any problem, the teachers will help us out. This course is for 5 years, and it makes students ready to go into R&D companies.
Other: I joined this course because I am interested in research and had a great interest in biology, exploring its vastness. I am very happy about joining this college. Events are great. There are interactive sessions between seniors and juniors. The campus has a very nice atmosphere.

IISER Mohali 2024 glimpses.
Placements: Placements are very low and often low package if available. Usually data science minors may opt for placements. Most people opt for PhDs after BS-MS. Since it is not a professional course, there's flexibility in choosing careers. Some may even go for corporate jobs or government jobs unrelated to their topic.
Infrastructure: Students wifi is available almost everywhere at the campus. Labs are the most fun place, well maintained and rare instruments are present. A 7-floor library is available for use. Most study-related books can be taken from the library itself. Students run mess and the canteen operates throughout the year and offers good-quality food.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified; they have PhDs and postdocs from the top most institutions. They will guide you if you reach out to them. The course curriculum is not the best but offers a basic understanding of the underlying properties. Pass percentages are often subject to change according to the instructor.
Other: Since Indians are multicultural, we often celebrate almost all the festivities, including Holi, Diwali, Onam, Pongal, Ganesh Chaturthi, Garba, etc. Top ranking and global accreditation are two of the reasons I chose ISM.

Best college for a research oriented student to study.
Placements: There is no placement cell in our institute. However, some students get placement in some industries. For instance, one of my friends got placement in a well known Reddy's laboratories. Majority of students after completing their course go for a Ph.D. mainly abroad.
Infrastructure: Our institute has a decent Wi-Fi facility although sometimes becomes dysfunctional. Labs are also quite good. Large lecture rooms are there. Library is very large having ample of books and if we want any special book, we can request them. Food is also very diverse. Sports and medical facility is also appreciable.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. All have completed Ph.D. and many have completed their post doc. Teaching quality is average. The course curriculum is very relevant if you are interested in going abroad. Course really make the students industries ready.
Other: I chose this course simply as I was interested in research. Every year insomnia event happens which is our college fest.

It is a great college with excellent professors and students.
Placements: Our batch hasn't passed out yet, so placements and salary are not offered here. Students opt for PhDs, and you can get scholarships as JRF. Probably application based industries are the top recruiters for our course. Roles are not offered here and also salary packages. However, almost every student gets an internship every year.
Infrastructure: Lecture halls are air-conditioned and enabled with Wi-Fi facility. Our college has an excellent library, which is well maintained. 3rd-year students are allotted with single rooms in the hostel. Hostels are co-ed and are equipped with Wi-Fi facility. The mess food is avarage, but you have the option to eat in the mess. Almost every sport is available in our college.
Faculty: Professors here are highly qualified, PhD holders and post-doctorates. Most of them set good question papers, and their teaching is also good. The course becomes highly relevant after you choose your major. In the first two years, the course prepares you for your future years. Students can be industry-ready also.
Other: I chose this course because I like biology. Events, fests and extracurricular activities organised here are excellent. The campus crowd is also excellent.
