Which one is better: IISC Bengaluru BS Programme or IIT Delhi Engineering Physics? Why?

DS
Deeraj Shah Posted On : April 10th, 2023
M.Tech from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (2020)

IISc Bengaluru’s BS Program is still in its infancy but has great scope for development in the near future. In fact, I consider this program even better than the Engineering Physics offered at IIT Delhi. A few strong reasons support my stance on the same area:

  • IISc program curriculum is very flexible and students are at the freedom to opt for any course of their choice provided that they have completed the first year m’s highly dynamic course. Whereas IIT Delhi's EG program has little flexibility as you will be studying physics-related courses throughout the program with little space to choose a different topic
  • Globally, IISc is a well-reputed science institute, and its scientific research and teaching methodology are even better than IIT Delhi.
  • The professors of IISc Bangalore are more experienced and learned than IIT Delhi and their unique pedagogy offers a great learning experience. These professors enjoy worldwide recognition and thus their recommendations are highly valued
  • For someone who is interested in Academics more than jobs, IISc is a very good option. It holds the 35th position globally for providing jobs.

Despite being a new course, I will highly recommend you to go for it owing to the tremendous scope of development it has.

Which should I join IIT Kharagpur aerospace engineering or IISC?

AB

Lives in Bangalore

While the Aerospace department of IIT Kharagpur is indeed well developed, IISc is still the best option for Aerospace in India. It has multiple collaborations with reputed Aircraft Manufacturing companies like Boeing and Airbus offering you the necessary exposure that might not be possible at IIT KGP. You can get an insight into the working of these companies and learn things quickly.

You can even apply to the foreign branches of these companies and get a good job. IISc is well known for its enthusiastic research-oriented approach and learned faculty that will help you grow as a person.

Being a knowledgeable person does necessarily mean you have to secure full marks. Knowing the right set of skills and implementing them is a must to be one of the top students.

That being said, to achieve great things you cannot expect your journey to be a cakewalk. The workload at IISc is indeed much more than IIT Kharagpur. You will face continuous challenges as you stay in the dynamic research environment which will eventually become a thrilling experience. Going for IISc will definitely guarantee you a good career ahead.

Should I join IISC or JNCASR for integrated MSC-PHD in biology?

SA
Seenu Arora Posted On : November 5th, 2022
Int. Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research.

Both are excellent institutions, but the experience will differ between the two. Whereas IISc is much larger and has a more vibrant student community, the smaller batches in JNCASR allow for more attention and a better chance of getting into at least one of their preferred labs.

IISC is smack dab in the middle of a commercial area (well, actually, the commercial areas grew around IISc, but let's not get into that). JNCASR is less centrally located and more of a sleepy campus. It's a completely different story after the second year when the pressure is intense and lab work can be extremely demanding. 

There are no holidays for students (not even Sundays or national holidays like the 15th of August or the 26th of January, but there is a flag hoisting event so you get off work for at least an hour) and most P.I.s do not allow paid leave of more than two weeks per year. This is not to say that there isn't any fun on campus. Most of the rules governing on-campus life are lax, and the guards and staff are laid-back and don't make a fuss when asked to overlook a few things.

IISc and IITM both offer good placements opportunities for M.Tech ECE. Same core companies visit the campuses, especially for ECE branches of Micro-Electronics and Electronics Systems Engineering. 

Due to the small batch size, competition is much less at IISc. Some of the major recruiters were Texas Instruments, Cisco, Analog Devices, etc. The highlights of IISc M.Tech ECE placements report an average CTC of INR 15 LPA. 

Dring the 2021 placement drive of IITM, M.Tech students received an average CTC of INR 16.84 LPA.

Which is better, IISc or IIT Bombay?

SG
Shree Gupta Posted On : April 5th, 2022
Ph.D. at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (2020)

It actually depends on your degree. For bachelor's courses, IIT Bombay is a better choice. IISc started delivering UG courses recently. But for PG courses like M.Tech or Ph.D. IISc is definitely the better option.

B.Tech is the most valued course at IIT Bombay. It gives the UG student a sense of superiority. While each department of IISc has a limited number of PG and Ph.D. students. The building and resources are completely separate for UG and PG students. 

The student-professor ratio of IISc is around 7-8 students per professor. While it is around 25-30 students per professor at IIT Bombay. 

IISc MTech branches have a better placement record as well. Good placement opportunities, multidisciplinary approach, research focus, are some of the perks of joining IISc.

VM
Vaishali Mukharjee Posted On : June 18th, 2022
M.Tech Computer Science, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

IITs are more reputed in US universities. The reason is quite simple. Even though things are changing, engineering still remains the career choice for most students. IITs also have a huge alumni base. 

However, in the research sector, IISc is a widely recognized name. Researchers and professors of reputed universities are well aware that IISc is a prestigious research university in India.
