Indian Institute of Science

The students who are pursuing their UG and PG courses in the IISER institutes (which includes IISER Kolkata) will awarded with the KVPY - Kishore vaigyanik protsahan yojana scholars as per KVPY norms .Along with this they are also eligible for the scholarship from the department of Science and technology in limited range with 5000/- in INR . For this the depatment of Science and technology selects the students who secured the highest marks and Percentage in the entrance exams who are admitted through JEE and SCB .The IISER Kolkata will provide the scholarships for the students who secured the good and top marks in the semesters. Till now upto more than 19 students got selected for this scholarship from various courses like integrated PhD, PhD and BS-MS courses .

The average package for the M.Sc  students at IISER Kolkata is about 14 to 16 Lacs per annum in Indian rupees when coming to abroad INR you may  get around 60 to 70 Lacs per annum . And this values I have mentioned above is completely depend on the student's interview given, his percentile in academic studies along with the skills he/her have in the research field . Actually the values of the package I have mentioned about is decreased a bit recent times so the exact value is now same.  But don't consider the salary.just go into the company or the research center which is hiring you and get the experience in the work which will help you in future .

In my opinion both the institutions are good in there own way . Yes the IISER is good as presidency University Kolkata because IIISER is institutes are allowing the master projects outside the country and it is the best opportunity for the students to explore the Science field around the world . At the same time IISER is the one of the topmost  research institute in Indian if you want to pursue your degree in research field . But don't take the institute depends on the name of the institutes because the job opportunities are based on the degree certificate not on the name of the institute. But it's okay to overview about the college.
