Admission: The teachers here are really good at what they do. They make learning interesting and exciting. This course will inspire you to think about studying abroad or at top Indian universities like IIS and IIT. Plus, we even get to meet professors from famous universities like Harvard. It's pretty cool!
Placement: A lot of students here go for more studies after college. The college really pushes you to do research and more studies. After our course, lots of students found jobs. Some big companies come to hire students. And we can even do internships at top colleges in India.
Campus: The college has great infrastructure. It's research-oriented and the rooms are nice and stable. Wi-Fi is fast here too. I really like the cricket ground they have. The food options are okay, not the best. Lots of students join in sports like cricket, football, and basketball. It's a cool place to be!

Admission: The teachers really knew their stuff and were super helpful in guiding us. The BSMS course is set up nicely. You get to explore different subjects for the first couple of years, then focus on what you're into.
Placement: Only a few students get jobs each year because the placement cell is new and not very helpful yet. They mainly help students get IT jobs, so if you're in a different field, it's hard to find a job through them.
Campus: I really like studying at IISER Pune because they have everything we need on campus. The classrooms can fit around 300 students, and they have Wi-Fi, cool labs, and libraries. The hostel is awesome too, with Wi-Fi, hot showers all day, and clean water. The food at the canteen is good and there are lots of choices. And if you like sports, they have courts for different games and even a gym. It's a great place to be!

Admission: The courses cover a lot of different topics that undergrads need. The research facilities here are great. The teachers are all researchers and they really focus on research in their teaching. The semester exams are like the ones in other CFTIs, and you need to score at least half of the class median to pass.
Placement: Around 1012% of us end up getting jobs in math-related fields, with a lot of us aiming for data science roles. But a bunch of us prefer going for further studies like Masters or Ph.D. and getting paid decently for it.
Campus: The dorms are pretty comfy, with nice rooms and shared bathrooms. You get Wi-Fi and power all day. The cafeteria serves veg and non-veg food, with lots of South and North Indian dishes. There's a clinic open from 9 to 5 on weekdays too.

Admission: The professors at our college are top-notch researchers. They really know their stuff. Some aren't the best, but most are awesome teachers. We get to pick which courses we want, which is super cool. Having that choice is the best part about being here.
Placement: Our college doesn't have a placement cell, but most of us in the science department aim for a PhD abroad. After finishing our course, we have a good shot at getting into a PhD program overseas. Recently, they set up a career development cell to support students in different ways.
Campus: The college's lecture hall complex is awesome! It's a three-story building with all the lecturing stuff you need. They've got a cool computer lab with good PCs. The hostel rooms are nice too, with two people sharing and everything one person needs. The study area is well-lit and has good ventilation. The food is really good, and there are two canteens. The Wi-Fi is free and super fast. The best part is the labs - there are tons of research labs. They've got all the sports facilities too - indoor court, cricket, football, you name it. And there's even a doctor and clinic on campus. Overall, it's a great place!

Admission: The teachers at this college are super smart, they all went to top universities. They know a lot about their research areas. The course is all about exploring different research topics at first. Exams are more about thinking logically, not just remembering stuff like in high school.
Placement: IISERs are top-notch for studying basic sciences in India. Since it's focused on research, job placements here are not super high in India. But over 60% of students end up studying at top universities worldwide like Stanford, Columbia, Caltech, and more. The professors and faculty network here are awesome for research opportunities.
Campus: This college is one of the best in India. The facilities here are great, like the accommodation and classrooms. I love studying in classrooms with digital screens and air conditioning. The library has a lot of books, both hard copies and soft copies. Plus, we get free access to top research journals in India. It's an awesome learning experience overall.

It's pretty cool!
Placement: A lot of students here choose to continue studying after graduation. The college really encourages us to pursue research and further studies. A good number of students from our batch have landed jobs already. Companies that focus on research and development come to our college to recruit students. We also have opportunities to intern at top colleges in India.
Campus: The college's infrastructure is really nice. It's great for research. The rooms are good and there's fast Wi-Fi. I love the cricket ground here. The food places are okay. Lots of students join in sports and games, like cricket, football, and basketball.

Admission: The teachers really knew their stuff and were super helpful in guiding us. The BSMS course is set up nicely. You get to explore different subjects for the first couple of years, then focus on what you're into.
Placement: Only a tiny amount of students get jobs each year because the placement office is new and doesn't give much help with finding jobs. They mostly just help with IT jobs, so if you're in a different field, it's tough to get placed.
Campus: I love studying at IISER Pune because the campus has everything I need. There's Wi-Fi, awesome labs, and a library. The classrooms can fit around 300 students, which is cool. The hostel is great too, with Wi-Fi, hot showers all day, and clean drinking water. The food in the canteen is healthy and yummy. And I can play sports or hit the gym on campus. It's awesome!

Admission: I really like the teachers at IISER Pune. They know a lot about different sciences and make learning interesting. The exams cover a lot of topics and focus on doing research and thinking critically. It helps us build a strong base in theory too.
Placement: IISER Pune's faculty helps Ph.D. students find jobs tutoring juniors. Seniors say you can land a job right after finishing your thesis. The college has a good track record for placements, with students getting jobs in top research centers and companies.
Campus: The hostels at IISER Pune are really nice. They have everything you need to live comfortably and study well. The campus has cool buildings, good labs, and a big library. It makes studying here awesome.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff. Since this is a top Science school, they gotta be top-notch. The classes dive deep into the basics instead of just skimming the surface. This program gets you ready for research and lets you explore different subjects.
Placement: After graduating, almost everyone got a chance to study further at good colleges, mostly abroad. Since it's a Science college, we don't get salary packages. Instead, we get paid for the work we do. The pay ranges from 30k to 85k in India, and more than $2000 in foreign countries. Some top colleges where our graduates go are Stanford, Harvard, and Max Planck. We also have opportunities for internships at different universities. Most of us prefer doing Summer projects, which help us academically. Many students in my batch did Summer projects at top universities in India like IIT's, IISc, and others. There's also a chance to get a scholarship for a project in European countries called DAD Scholarship. Every student needs to do at least one Summer project by the end of the second year.
Campus: Our campus is awesome! We have 5 subjects - Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, and Earth Science. After 2nd year, we can specialize in one subject or mix and match. The Wi-Fi is super fast, and the hostels have LAN. The library, canteen, and sports facilities are top-notch. Right now, we have a cool wooden indoor badminton and basketball court. And the canteen has lots of yummy food choices. Loving it here!

Admission: The professors here are really helpful. They're usually around during their office hours. Teaching quality can vary, but overall it's good enough. The courses might not seem super relevant at first, but they set you up for cool research later on.
Placement: The course doesn't focus much on placements. It's more about getting ready for higher studies like an M.Sc. or Ph.D. The placement cell usually helps out Data Science students. Since I'm not studying Data Science, I can't really say much about the placement situation.
Campus: The college has awesome facilities. Wi-Fi is available in all the important places like the main building, classrooms, and hostels. The labs for undergrads aren't the best, but they still give a good lab experience. All classrooms have AC, blackboards, and projectors. The food in the mess is tasty, and there's a pharmacy and clinic open six days a week.
