r/IISc

In my slot there were at least 3-4 people who approached proffs and talked about how they are aligned to the research they do. As far as I saw, they did it on the advice of those who were already doing a PhD at CeNSE. My only concern is that won't this give them any sort of advantage over those people who just gave the interview and went away without approaching the proffs? In that case, it is unfair.

I got an M.Tech offer letter through CFTI mode, and today is the last date for fee payment.

During the admission process, after selecting “Yes” for hostel facility, it is asking me to pay an additional hostel fee of around ₹55,000 along with the admission fees.

I wanted to ask:

1. Is it compulsory to pay the hostel fee right now along with the admission fee?

2. If I pay the hostel fee now, will hostel allotment be confirmed immediately?

3. Is there an option to pay the hostel fee later after reporting/joining?

Would be really helpful if any current student or recent admit could clarify this. Thanks!

Im a physics enthusiast and just got done with my Jee adv and am expecting a rank around 500 . I have a particular interest in theoretical physics and am torn between Bsc Physics IISc vs IIT Delhi EE/IIT Roorkee CSE.

I'm confused as I want to pursue something in academia but I'm unsure of the opportunities and facilities that I might have at either place . Would my dream still be possible from IIT EE ?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Helloo ,I wanted to ask if there is any WhatsApp/telegram group for the juniors who will join IISC ,with any seniors to guide them? If it's there please send the link 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’ve been looking into the MTech (CDS) or MTech(AI) at IISc, since I’m interested in moving towards computational biology / AI/ML in healthcare and medicine.

I’m trying to understand how to meet the “strong math and programming background” expectation mentioned on the program page of both these programs, coming from a bio background.

Questions:

1. How is this background actually evaluated? how would i demonstrate it both formally and practically?
   • Do I need formal credentials (like a minor/online degree from IIT/BITS or distance education like IGNOU), or
   • can NPTEL courses + solid projects be enough to demonstrate it both formally and practically?
2. What level of math and programming should one realistically reach by the end of undergrad to be competitive?

GATE: Now, From what I’ve explored so far, CDS seems like a better fit for my interests, but I’ll understand this more clearly as I progress through my undergrad. MTech AI could also turn out to be a better fit.

• MTech(CDS): accepts GATE BT since it will be a major subject, GATE BT seems manageable.
• MTech(AI): GATE DA/CS, Currently, I can code basic ML models like KNN and GUI (PyQT) apps using Python, So i beleive those parts of the syllabus ill manage, biggest hurdle for these subject would be math and rest of the theory, i wil have to chose DA or CS and prep form 1st yr itself to even be competitive.
• What is the most standard / popular way aspirants study for GATE DA/CS?

Context:

I’m about to start my undergrad and will likely be in a biology/biotech-related program (still deciding between a few options, and the recent RE-NEET situation has also influenced things). If I need to take additional courses, I’d want to start early so I can complete them in time for admissions at the end of 4th yr, also dont want to end up choosing subjects / courses that will simply make me ineligible, add to the difficulty for the prep.

I am expecting to join IISc this year. I was going through the IIT Ropar case. Do incidents of these sort happen in IISc as well? Any insider info would be helpful.

Edit: People aren’t aware of the case. It has been wiped off the internet, but you can still find traces of it. A prof by the name Lakhan Baisla was involved in a relationship with his PhD student. Things got ugly and violent. This student accused him of using her se*ually and abusing his position. That’s the gist. So I wanna know if it happens in IISc as well or ever happened.

What is the cutoff for IIT Hyderabad Biomedical Engineering department or medical device innovation department

Can we consider doing abroad for Masters or PHD, also please suggest some good universities and countries for the same considering if I do not have to spend more money like getting scholarship or fee waiver. If I complete my bachelor's in India in not top institutes but like normal instituted like nit raipur material science or may be some state govt college or gfti. I am not sure about iisers like I would definitely like to consider but there's not much placement support there like for example if my mind change for something different like mba or pvt companies then I can have more options. Please give me some advice or throw some light🌸

I am considering becoming a Buddhist monk soon, I wanted to wait till I complete my masters but due to some circumstances I can't wait much. Is there any rule which limits dressing options? I would have to wear a robe. My monastery is okay with me continuing my degree.

^(i have a doubt, Usually how many rounds of interview will be there. i had three rounds of interview and they said 3rd interview is like round 2 of round 2.)

I gave my interview for a PhD position in the Inorganic and Physical Chemistry department a week ago. Today they released a provisional list of selected candidates and I was among two people in the waitlist. I applied under the Theoretical Chemistry preference, and four people were offered the seat with two in the waitlist. Is there any chance of conversion into an offer?

So, im preparing for GATE 2027, i wanted to join IISc MTech QT program, im preparing for GATE XE, and from the CUTOFF in the IISc website, for QT its is GATE score of 700 for XE for QT, so my doubt is, does getting a score of 700 guarantee an interview call and admission if i score well in interview? I mean do they have any preference for core GATE papers in case if there are lot of applicants? or will i have to score higher than 700 in XE?

TL DR: how many marks/GATE score i need in GATE XE to get into IISc MTech QT?

So I am expecting an offer from IISC. I have been in corporate previously. However I felt the work to b repetitive and stressful in terms of stability(constant fear of layoff) and learning(no clear path) which led me give exam. I enjoyed my preparation a lot and didn't even feel like a hardwork. Wht should I expect from IISC Workload? Many people are scaring me. Like almost impossible to manage. Please guide me
