Good college in Kolkata.

Verified Review

Academics

The curriculum here is kind of open. Teachers decide the location of the course by observing students' status. You are welcome to question everything the teacher says (if you're not being annoying? ). The faculty members are good (not so good, if I remember my first semester). But in the second semester, the faculty members are amazing.

Academic is quite rigour, Bad placement.

Hello,

Candidates need to secure a minimum of 60% marks/equivalent grades in Honors/Major (if applicable) in aggregate, or 60% marks/equivalent grades in aggregate (if Honors/Major is not applicable), And 50% for other category than general category like SC,ST and other category.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you


Dear Aspirant,

The exact admission situation depends on a number of unpredictable factors like the preferences of students, the number of students willing to take admission and the seat matrix of the college.

There are about 1300 seats for candidates entering via IAT and about 130 seats are reserved for EWS candidates

Looking at this data we can say that you have a decent chance of getting into Tirupati, Berhampur and a small chance of getting into TVM, Mohali campus.

Kolkata is one of the most preferred campuses and hence it is quite difficult to get into IISER Kolkata.

Please check the link below for more details.

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to take admission in the college and the seat matrix of the college.

There are 200 seats in Pune and about 20 are reserved for EWS candidates.

Going by this trend we can say that you have a good chance of getting into Pune campus in further rounds.

Keep in mind that Pune is one of the most preferred branches of IISER and hence is highly competitive so there might a lower chance of people dropping the seat in Pune.

So, please be prepared to go to IISER Kolkata as well.

Hope this helps.
