Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and know their stuff. They're experienced and you can see their qualifications on the website. The teaching is good overall. The semester exams can be tough, but if you stay on top of things, you'll be fine.

Placement: Placements depend on how much you work for them. We don't have a placement office at our college. Many students go for Ph.D., so placements aren't a big deal here. Biology gets more attention than other subjects at our college.

Campus: The hostel rooms are pretty good. Our canteen is just okay, don't have high expectations. Labs and classrooms are well-equipped, everything is new which is a plus. The library is not ready yet. Still some construction going on in our college.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and know their stuff. They always give us tips for more research and are quick to clear up any confusion we have. The courses focus more on pure math than practical math, but they're trying to mix it up by collaborating with nearby IITs. The exams are tough, and how many students pass really depends on the professor.

Placement: At IISER Tirupati, they're all about research. They don't really do the whole placement thing like other colleges. Most students here end up going for a Ph.D., either in India or abroad, with a decent stipend. If research isn't your thing, you can always look for off-campus placements instead.

Campus: The rooms in the hostels are big enough for two people. The bathrooms are always clean and in good condition. You can eat at the mess by paying for your meals, and there's also a cafeteria available. They're building a sports complex, which should be ready soon. Plus, there's a gym in both the girls' and boys' hostels.

Admission: The teachers are super cool and know their stuff. The courses are perfect for a research school. Exams are fair and cover what we learn in class. Grading is fair too. You need to get at least half the class average to pass.

Placement: The course doesn't have placements right now, but they're planning to set up a placement cell soon. Even without placements, it's a great choice if you're aiming for a Ph.D. or fellowship. Plus, you get some cool opportunities for exposure. You can also take exams like CSIR NET or land a job as a research assistant.

Campus: Our classrooms are cool with AC, six blackboards, and a projector in each. They're set up like a gallery. We also get Wi-Fi. There are tutorial rooms too. Right now, we have 2 small libraries, but they're moving to a new building soon. Our UG labs are top-notch with awesome gear. The food in the mess is decent. We have 2 mess halls - one for North Indian food by SRRC, and one for South Indian food by Mookambika. There's a clinic and ambulance on campus. And we're getting a sports complex soon!

Admission: The teachers at IISER Tirupati are super experienced and always ready to help us out. We all study the same stuff for the first few semesters, and then we pick our major in the fourth semester. From the fifth semester, we start working on projects. Gotta keep up a decent GPA to keep moving forward. I'm totally satisfied with the education I'm getting here.

Placement: I really liked how IISER Tirupati offers different programs to help us with placements. They have workshops, seminars, guest lectures, and even take us on industrial visits. Plus, they do mock interviews and group discussions to practice our skills.

Campus: The campus is still being built, but it's working well despite the mess. You can find most facilities on campus, and you can always contact your professors by email.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and know their stuff. They all have PhDs and went to good colleges. The teaching is good and the professors really know their stuff. But, you gotta do your own study too  it's not just about what they teach you. The course plan is cool and it keeps getting better every year. The exams aren't too tough. They mostly ask you to apply what you've learned to real research stuff. They grade on a curve system.

Placement: So, the deal is this college focuses a lot on research, which is cool because research is growing here. But the thing is, placements are kinda low-key here. It's not just IISER Tirupati, no IISER really offers placements. A few might have some placements, but only for certain courses.

Campus: The college is brand new and has all the latest stuff. No problems on campus at all. We've got top-notch facilities with all the latest gadgets in classrooms and lecture halls like boards, e-boards, wifi, cameras, and projectors. The labs are super high-tech too. Classes, lecture halls, and labs are all air-conditioned. The library is temporary for now, but we still have all the books and references we need. Hostels are nice with 24/7 electricity, hot and cold water, wifi, and two students per room. Each room has its own stuff like shelves, beds, and study tables. No AC or cooler though. We've got two mess options - North Indian and South Indian. You pay for what you eat. The food is good, but a bit pricey compared to other places.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and they're super supportive in our studies and research. They studied in top colleges and got their advanced degrees mostly from abroad. Our course keeps improving each year with new subjects, making us ready for the industry. The semester exams aren't too tough, they're pretty manageable. Your pass rate depends on how the whole batch does in total marks. They use relative grading to evaluate us.

Placement: Our college doesn't have a placement cell right now, so no one got placed. After BSMS Integrated, most students aim for higher studies like Ph.D. in India or abroad. Some choose to study MBA or go for civil services. We can do internships from anywhere we want, but the college doesn't arrange any internships for us it's up to us to find one.

Campus: The college is brand new and has all the latest tech stuff. They have top-notch facilities on campus. The lecture complex is great. Wi-Fi is everywhere. The labs and classrooms have cool tech stuff and safety gear. Hostel perks include Wi-Fi, a bed, a study table, and a personal cupboard. They have round-the-clock electricity and water. Washrooms are clean with water filters. The food in the mess is tasty. Plus, they have a clinic, sports ground, and a gym. It's awesome!

Admission: The best thing about this college is the faculty. They all have Ph.D.s and know their stuff. You can choose from a wide variety of courses without any limits. They're not strict about picking just one major. If you're into research, you should check out the open course options. The exams are practical and based on real-life studies.

Placement: In our college, most students don't focus much on placements. Many choose to go for Ph.D. in India or abroad after finishing their course. Some go for R&D jobs with an average salary of around 10 lakhs per annum. A few others opt for MBA or research positions in the industry. There are also a few who pursue a teaching career, but that's not very common.

Campus: The hostels are new and really good for sharing with a friend. Bathrooms and ventilation are nice. Wi-Fi works fine but not super fast. The classrooms are top-notch. Since the campus is new, sometimes maintenance is a bit of a challenge, but it's okay overall. There are two small libraries, and a big one with lots of books is coming soon. The sports facilities are great with football, cricket, badminton, and tennis. The canteen has good food and you pay as you eat.

Admission: The teachers at our college are super helpful. They really help me understand my biology course. They also suggest internships, which is cool. The teaching quality is top-notch. The biology teachers are really knowledgeable and share lots of experience with us. Overall, the teaching at our college is great and we learn a lot.

Placement: The internships scene in our college is pretty good, with around 30-40% of students landing one. VIT has great placements overall. If you keep your grades up, getting a job is quite easy. Companies start coming in the fourth year to recruit students. Huge names like Intel, Qualcomm, Google, Microsoft, and more show up to hire. The highest salary package offered was 75 LPA, while the average was 7-8 LPA and the lowest was 5 LPA.

Campus: The campus here is really nice. The food is good but a bit pricey. They have sports stuff you can use. The college is right in the middle of the city. Tirupati is a popular place for students to study, especially in fields like engineering and medicine. There are big IT companies here too. It's about 7 km from the train station and 15 km from the airport. The college has good facilities and is easy to get to from different parts of the city. There are nice buildings for admin stuff and rooms for students, like common rooms for girls and boys, a waiting area, and a store. The labs are well-equipped for science and other subjects, following the rules of AICTE and the University.

Admission: The teachers are super helpful and guide us well for a research-focused career. Different professors from different departments teach the courses. We get to pick which ones we want each semester to learn more about research.

Placement: At IISER Tirupati, they really push research. A lot of us end up going for a Ph.D. after finishing our BSMS. Some go to Europe, Australia, Canada, and other places. A few students who majored in ECs are now working in climate research institutes.

Campus: I go to IISER in Tirupati and there are 4 hostels for undergrads and 2 for Ph.D. students (2 for boys and 2 for girls). The rooms are shared with a roommate and the Ph.D. hostels have balconies. The cleaning staff keeps the hostels tidy, including the bathrooms and toilets.
