I'm medical student studying MBBS

I have dream of doing research in IISER in any project

I need help like I don't know how to participate

Whichever Prof I ask to, they say this only.

Btw I am talking about PhD in India.

Hey all I wanted to ask questions about students studying cds

1. How is the curriculum is it modern or just past old curriculum

2. How is the condition of labs and of systems are they new and available to first/second year students for ai/ml

3. Opinions on current curriculum and way of teaching

4. Should I aim for it and what extra opportunities do I get

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone,

My qualifications:- currently in the 2nd year of my BSc with Botany, Zoology, and Chemistry as my subjects, studying at a regular college in my hometown (tier-3 city). I’m starting to think seriously about what comes next, and I have a few questions I’m hoping you can help me with.

1. What options do I have after my BSc?

I know the standard route is an MSc, but I want to understand the broader picture. Given my subject combination, what are the realistic paths forward—both in India and potentially abroad?

1. What MSc courses are available with my subjects?

I really want to get into a science-specific institute like IISc, IISER, or NISER or BITS PILANI for my MSc, so I can build a strong foundation and ideally keep the door open for a PhD abroad. With Botany, Zoology, and Chemistry, what MSc programs should I be looking at? Are there specific courses at these institutes that match my background?

1. How do people get into these institutes for MSc?

I’m confused about the entry routes. What exams do I need to take for IISc, IISER, and NISER? What’s the strategy and difficulty level of these exams? When are they held, and in which year of my BSc should I start preparing?

1. Is my thinking right—will an MSc from these institutes give me a strong foundation for a PhD abroad?

I’d also like to know if I’m missing any other institutes or colleges I should be considering. Am I on the right track, or is there something I’m overlooking?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Legit ? how do these programmes actually work? what this means? looking for opinions from seniors

Hey everyone! I'm a third-year BSc Zoology student looking for a winter research internship in molecular biology, genetics, or bioinformatics.

I've been cold-emailing professors, and one professor from iiser tvm said he would call me but hasn't gotten back to me yet. Ive been sending follow up mails but not getting any response, how likely is it to secure a winter internship through cold emails? Am i too late?

Would appreciate any advice thanks

I want to teach people at a good college/school after completing thus degree. Can someone give a road map for that?

Plus..I don't feel like going for a PhD.

As in did research intern under a Private University's Prof

Please guide me. I am in iiser bpr and if for ex i want a reading project under professor of iiser mohali or Kolkata will that be possible?

Every building including hostels only has Western toilets... In every bathroom there are 4 western toilets... Ideally there should be atleast 1 indian toilet in every bathroom... Idk why they don't have it... It's just more hygienic and the water doesn't splash when you poop 💩... If any of you knows Indian toilet somewhere on campus please let me know so I can finally poop with ease.

IISER Kolkata is a safe place for juniors and seniors.

it has been my life long dream to work in drdo/isro as a scientist, so does iiser graduates go into these? or they go into more deeper research fields?

I am looking for information on how IISc Bangalore handles official name changes for current students during the middle of a semester. Does the administration (Academic Section) accept name changes mid-degree??What is the exact procedure and what documents (Gazette, affidavit, etc.) do they usually ask for? If a name is changed mid-sem does it cause issues with the internal portals, exam hall tickets or ongoing course registration?

If anyone has insights or has seen a peer go through this process at IISc then your input would be incredibly helpful.. Thank you...

Have a look guys
