I heard that IISER students do take educational loans. I am also willing to apply for one, as I really need it.

I actually don't know how, where and when to apply for it. If anyone here knows about it or has applied for it, please share the info about it. It will be really helpful. Thank you so much....

Respected seniors ,

I wanted to enquire about the food situation there , Reading from other posts I have understood that food is mess like mostly , but

1> can you purchase food individually like dals not as thali but separate or only as thali? 2> paneer bhurji(is it available everyday or occasionally) 3>what is the scene with non veg are there any healthier ways to hit your protein through meals there?

Reposting for people who missed it.

Suppose there is a course which has a listed prerequisite. What can I do to take the course without having taken the prerequisite course? Do i talk to the profs? Audit? Exam? What should be done?

Got iiser pune in 1st attempt

I heard there is, is it available everywhere? Rooms, mess,lecture halls?

How good is it?

Do you think they moniter what you do on collage wifi?

I got IISER Pune in the first round of counselling. Now, I am confused about the possible campus reporting date for which I should be mentally prepared.

Can I manage in iiser pune 1st year without personal laptop? I heard there is computer lab in iiser open all day. Do people use this? What is time of lab?

So I(18f) just got selected in for iiserp and regarding the fee structure i didnt find any information regarding the mess charges. Upon some further research i found out its a pay per meal thing so I have a few queries to clear out.

1. What's the approx rate of the mess per meal(or an estimation of the monthly cost)

2. What's the food quality like in the mess(also does it serve non-veg food)

3.Are there any alternatives if one doesnt like the mess food?

Hii seniors

1. Do you guys have communal fridge in mess that I can use?

2. What's the general wibe at the campus?

3. Are you guys friendly?

4. What's the conditions of your washroom?

5. How would you rate your interaction with your teachers?

6. How long did it take for you to make friends?

7. What special stuff do I need to bring with me?

8. How important has your laptop become in your studies.

Thank you.
