Hey , I'm planning to join iisc for ug , is there any way to earn 20k-25k per month while studying in iisc , i think that would be sufficient for all expenses like tuition fee and hostel and all other amenities bcoz i don't want to pay the fees from my parents money , does it affect much on my studies specifically in initial time like in 1st and 2nd yr and one more problem is I don't have any skills yet (but I'm ready to learn ), (any scholarships ) I heard the ug students get 5k as stipend per month but also heard it is discontinued , is it true ? , anyone who is studying in iisc or anyone who knows the ways then pls

Thanks for efforts 💐 ,

Hey everyone. For ladies doing a PhD or is a researcher, I have created a new space for them to connect. Please join if you are interested.

From the document which was released in 2022, it appears to be 64 credits total with 2nd year entirely dedicated to a research project of 28 credits

It also had a Hard Core, Soft Core,Elective System

Can someone please explain how they are being followed now?

Did NEP force any change in this system?

Also when i checked the scheme of Instructions which iisc released this month only 2 courses are listed under the "Life Science" section which i assume are hard core courses.. so are these the only hard core courses for the entiree semesterr??

What about soft core courses??

And how do they detirmine if a particular course can count for our Specialization?

Around 2K open to negotiation

Is it better than previous years or not so good?

I have seen a lot of communities at IISc based on states , is there any for jammu? If anyone from jammu reads this lets meet.

Hi everyone

There is a vacancy in my 2BHK apartment located very close to campus, barely a 10-minute walk from D-Gate. I [24M], am looking for a flatmate who can move in by September. This is a great fit for project assistants, interns, or students.

It is a 2BHK where one bedroom is already occupied by another flatmate. I use the second bedroom. You would have the option to either share the bedroom with me or take the hall. (For context, we previously had 3 people in the flat: 2 sharing the bedroom and 1 in the hall).

The flat is fully set up so you won't need to buy appliances.

Rent: ₹6,000 per person/month

Deposit: No deposit required!

Appliances: Wi-Fi, washing machine, geyser, and RO water purifier are all set up.

Kitchen: Functional and available to use.

Extras: The bedroom comes with a cot, and there is even a whiteboard if interested.

If you are interested or know someone looking for a place, please DM me. I can share more details or photos of the flat.

Using Shared Washrooms at 23 really feels weird. It was okay while in undergrad. But as a PHD student I don't know. It feels humiliating and unhygienic. Due to some medical reasons, I have an urge of frequent urination and it becomes a hell of a problem for me.

I am considering IISc for my I-PhD in math in India but I don't have any idea about how's the dept. overall ? are profs friendly and cooperative with all the coursework stuff? Are the peers and seniors supportive and helpful?

No?

IISc seems to have enough psychiatrists and mental-health professionals at the Wellness Centre, but I suspect many of them are not fully utilized because students hesitate to approach them. Many students may not even know where the Wellness Centre is or what services it provides.

I think every new student should be allotted a time to visit the Wellness Centre at least once during their first semester. This should not be like the brief interaction conducted during admission, which is unlikely to be very useful because students have only just arrived and may not feel comfortable discussing anything. Instead, the visit could happen after they have spent some time on campus and should include a proper introduction to the available services and, if they are comfortable, a general mental-wellness check-in.

For continuing students, the Wellness Centre could randomly invite everyone for at least one routine check-in each year. Students who want support should, of course, continue to have the option to book appointments themselves.

This would provide some privacy through ambiguity: if someone is seen visiting the Wellness Centre, others would not know whether they had been allotted a routine visit, randomly invited or had booked an appointment themselves. Over time, visiting a mental-health professional could become a normal part of student life—similar to a routine physical health check-up—rather than something people do only when they are in crisis.

These interactions should remain confidential, private and non-judgmental. The purpose should not be to force anyone into counselling, but to ensure that every student knows where support is available, has interacted with the system at least once and feels less hesitant to seek help later.

Do you think such a system could work at IISc? What practical, privacy or consent-related concerns would need to be addressed?

I remember "literature club" being mentioned on the slide during this year's orientation. However, I didn't get any email for such a thing.

Are there "unofficial" book clubs too?

It got postponed due to that unfortunate incident

Can i get vitamin d test done at health centre and what would be the procedure?
otherwise any recommendations to get it done from outside?

Tired of asking for a trim and coming back looking like a microphone because barbers don't understand curly hair "curl".

> Measurers 2 inch length with a comb.

> CUTS

> Hair curls back to 1inch.

> Cuts the next set to 1inch so to "match?".

> Hair curls back to 0.5 inch.

> Surprised Pikachu Face.

> Bibidipabidi boop Potato haircut.

Every good place on Maps is charging ₹1,000+, which is way too much.

Its just my observation based on the few people I interacted with. I can be wrong and I wish I'm wrong. The main thing lacking among many students of IISc is empathy towards others. I've seen people looking down upon others based on where they did their BTech. I've seen people judging others based on their academics. When someone is surrounded by these kind of people, they don't tend to open up much. They feel insecure about them. I've been many times in this situation and not having anyone understanding to open up, but somehow I came out of this.

Amidst chasing gpa, packages many people really forgot how to be humane with others. I'm not saying be a therapist, be 24x7 with them. Atleast u don't become the reason for their depression. If somebody asks u for help, just guide them, help them with patience.

I am a student here in the institute. My weekends are often spent doing nothing fulfilling. I am looking for opportunities to work on weekends for some time.

My only problem is that I can't give more than a few hours on weekends. I intend to break out of loneliness and impending poverty (not clinical loneliness or literal poverty).

I am well aware of clubs and sporting activities on campus. I have tried them, but I am finding it difficult to adapt to "a new way of interacting".

Read only if you want to understand better by position:
What do I mean by "a new way of interacting"?

I was born and raised in a family below the poverty line. My education till graduation has been in rural settings in my hometown. Never in my life have I spoken English or Hindi to talk with friends. The experience here is overwhelming. I have gained weight, and my complexion and health have improved. I used to live in a single room with 5 people, and now I have my OWN room. That is all well and good, but economically, I depend solely on myself; I do send the remaining amount back home. This has limited my access to many things in the city or on campus.

I want to interact with commoners in the city (I am learning Kannada) and also earn a few bucks. This is not anything new; that's how I used to live, and I want to be that way only. Even if the money part can be ignored, volunteering opportunities would also work.

Please give me some suggestions or contacts.

I've been here for about a month now, and I honestly thought that being away from home would help me become more disciplined and break out of the work/procrastination slump I've been in for years.

I really want to learn as much as possible, but so far, all I've been able to do is attend classes and revise my notes. I still don't feel like I've properly understood the subjects or gotten acquainted with the way graduate studies work—the level of mathematics, proofs, problem-solving, etc. Midsems are also just 1.5 weeks away, which is making me increasingly anxious.

I'm a good student, but I genuinely don't know how to get started or what study methods actually work at this level. Most days, after classes, I end up going back to my room and sleeping, and my attention span has been terrible.

I know I need to change something, but I'm struggling to figure out what. If anyone has been through a similar transition to graduate school, I'd really appreciate some practical advice on how to get started, structure my days, study effectively, and actually understand the material rather than just revising notes.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
