What happens in a semester project exactly? Thats it thats the question

Any seniors or professors or administration members here who can help?

My school is in another city from my home town and I live in another state now. So I wasn't able to collect it after a few days of IAT exams as local college spot exams were going on where I participated and due to ongoing exams in my school, my school was only able to provide me with the mark sheet till the 22nd of June. Since the last date of correction was the 21st of June, I added my marks from my internet copy and submitted it without the improvement mark sheet, not knowing I was supposed to upload some declaration with it in case I did not have the mark sheet at the moment. I sent an email to the ID on the website but since the website was not updated until the submission of preference form, which was just this month, I was just emailing the 2025 JAC. After the update, now I've sent 3 emails to the 2026 JAC about this, and it's been days, I've yet to receive a reply.

The issue is that if they consider my marks in the old mark sheet then I'm not eligible for even taking the test (59.4% if you add maths, which my marksheet doesn't consider in the total so according to my board, I'm eligible but not if they count maths marks too on their own). That's why I gave the improvement exam for just one subject. Now if they don't consider the marks that I uploaded and sees just the marks on the mark sheet then I'll never get into IISER since this is my 2nd drop and last chance at IISER. I'll have to take another drop for CUET as I didn't do well in it since I never studied for it. My rank is decent enough for me to get TVM or even B, but that won't happen if they don't even send me an offer letter. If they do send me an offer letter, then I can just show them my improvement mark sheet on physical reporting. But I don't know how they look at the details and what will happen to me.

Can anyone please help me out with this? Any seniors know if they look at mark sheets before sending offer letters? Any professors if they can say if I can just submit it on physical reporting? Anyone? Please? This could cost me my admission and my chance to ever study at IISER

Hi everyone,

I'll be joining IISER Pune this year for the BS-MS program in Biological Sciences. I'm genuinely excited about research, especially the intersection of AI/ML and bioinformatics, but I also have a lot of questions about the future.

Most people around me keep telling me that MBBS is a safer option and that research in India doesn't pay well. So I'd really appreciate some honest opinions from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the field.

Some questions I have:

Looking back, do you think choosing IISER was worth it?

What are the career options after BS-MS if I don't want to stay in academia forever?

How difficult is it to get into top PhD programs abroad?

Are there good industry opportunities in biotech, computational biology, AI in healthcare, bioinformatics, etc.?

Is it realistic to earn well in this field in the long run?

Also, I wanted to ask about finances.

How do IISER students earn money while studying?

Are research internships, freelancing, tutoring, coding, or remote work manageable alongside academics?

Roughly how much can a student realistically earn per month without hurting their studies?

I'd really appreciate honest experiences, both the positives and the downsides. I'm not looking for reassurance, just a realistic picture of what the next 5 to 10 years could look like.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Im currently thinking about joining iiser p this year, im in a dilemma between that and engineering core. As Phd seems to be one of the only sound options after iiser bsms, i wanted to talk to someone who's currently pursuing phd either in india or abroad in physics field. I want to know about what day to day life and finances are like during phd.

So I love fashion and most of my clothes are a little extra, not fancy but not casual. Should I get plain ish clothes or will I be judged if i get too dressed up for classes

I want to know your experience about math and how you dealt with it, should I do something before coming to iiser pune or it is manageable?

I had math just for boards and just did non-calculus topics on basic level. But in 1st sem itself there is Course of calculus.

I want to do a part-time job for financial independence. Is this possible along with bsms in iiser ? If so, what opportunities are available nearby?

so i have this query, so basically want to give cds during college, now for that I need a bachelor's degree. now i know that you get a bsc degree at the end of 3rd year and a bs degree at the end of 4th. you could go for ssb in the while you are in the last year of your degree, for that you need to produce a bona fide or noc from your uni that you'll pass the course in that year and get that degree, however im not sure if to get that bonafide or noc you have to exit the course totally or not. the thing is that getting selected in ssb is quite difficult, so i can't take a total exit from my course, cause if i don't get selected i won't be able to complete my college bsms too.

i wanted to know that is there an option so that i could get a noc from iiser in 3rd year stating that *if* i get selected in ssb, i'd leave college with bsc degree and if i don't i could continue with my bsms as usual? i've asked from some other people that it happens in other iisers, i just wanted to confirm if that is an option in iiser p or not.

if you or any of your seniors have gone for similar exams who could help regarding this info, i’d be greatful

If a summer internship pays a monthly stipend, can I still claim the ₹20,000 INSPIRE Mentorship Grant without issues?

Since we only have to upload our project report and completion certificate via the Google Form our institute circulates.

Does the administration or DST actually cross-check for external stipends?

Has anyone successfully pocketed both the internship stipend and the 20k grant?

Hii I am a 3rd year student and I like to play social deduction games. My friend and I are planning to go to play a game called as blood on the clock tower.
