Indian Institute of Science, [IISc] Bangalore - Placements and Companies Visited

We get KVPY fellowship, which is ₹5000 per month for first 2 years, then ₹7000 for the next two along with a contingency grant of ₹20000 per year. Besides, we can go for other internships and summer projects. I have done a reading project in Differential Geometry. We have a placement cell which manages industrial placements as well as recruitments in Govt organisations like ISRO and DRDO. However, most of the people opt for PhD in foreign universities. Average package will be around 12-15 lakhs per annum, but as I said, a very small proportion of students go for it. Packages range from 10 lakhs to 25 lakhs per annum. Alumni plays a very crucial role in the life of the students. They are doing their PhDs in various locations around the globe and recommend good places for pursuing further education based upon their experience. The UG programme started in 2011, so it's a very small community, with an intake of nearly 120 students every year. But being the top-most ranked institute in the nation, we get our fair share of a wholesome academic exposure and an environment that caters to variety of inetersts in the field of science and research.

I have done two projects so far and both of them were in the campus itself. I worked with two professors respectively. Since I am an Inspire fellow, I get a scholarship of INR 5000 per month along with a contingency fund of INR 20000. The placement details are not very clear as almost 3/4 of the people prefer to do Ph.D. after bachelors.
