Verified Review

College Infrastructure

Facilities and infrastructure are quite good and satisfactory, like Wi-Fi, which is available 24 hours a day in all the labs, classrooms & libraries, as well as on the hostel premises. The quality of food in the mess and canteen is decent and very much eatable but it depends on the taste of the individual. Medical facilities are available on campus and ambulance services are there for any emergency.

Academic is quite rigour, Bad placement.

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.
