For applied Physics, NIT Calicut will be a better option. You will learn how to analyze and solve real-world problems using Physics. NIT Calicut placements are good for Engineering Physics. The placement rate for the branch was around 60%. Students of the branch usually receive an average CTC of around INR 27 LPA.
IISER Pune is essentially a science institute. If you are more interested in learning the theoretical aspects of Physics, IISER will be the right place for you.
The cut-offs vary every year in IISER, so it's quite difficult to make any assumptions. Here are some of the facts:
You just need to give your best and prepare yourself with precision. Rest will simply fall in place. Do not obsess yourself with rank predictions by different coaching institutes, it is fruitless. You should just be focused and confident.
There is no clear winner between IISER Pune and IISER Kolkata. IISER Pune and Kolkata are quite old and equally reputed. IISER Kolkata is more known for its Physics degree. While IISER Pune is reputed for Biology.
Comparably IISER Pune has a better location. So, students receive better employment opportunities.
Both IISER Pune and IISER Mohali offer good academics and placement opportunities to students. In terms of facilities, both institutes are on an equal footing now. The research output of IISER Mohali is catching up. In terms of coursework, electives at both institutes are slightly different. You can check out the course structure and faculty profile from the official websites. Before joining, you should also get to know about the culture of the places. You can talk to the current students from both institutes. Do your research about both institutes and choose according to your convenience.
It is quite unlikely that you will get IISER Pune or Mohali. Even if you got all the answers correct, it’s only half of the total marks. According to the cutoff trends of recent years, it won’t be enough. You may have a chance of getting admission if you are from some reserved category.
I have a few friends from IISER Pune. Here are some of the points that they have shared from their experience.
Here are some of the things that make IISER Kolkata stand out.
Course Choice: You can choose your course from Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, even from Earth Sciences.
Peaceful Campus: The campus is secluded and hence ideal for studies.
Faculties: The faculties of IISER Kolkata are well-known worldwide for their research work.
Friendly Environment: The professors and the seniors are quite friendly. You can discuss any problem you may have with your faculties openly.
Alumni Network: IISER Kolkata has a vast alumni network. The alumni base of IISER K is better than that of IISER Pune.
All IISER have their own pros and cons, so there is no use in comparing one IISER to another. IISER Pune has better infrastructure and outreach but that doesn’t make it better than all the other IISER. All these IISERs are great options for pursuing your studies.
