Ankit Labh's Review on Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Mohali
Placements and Internships
- We don't have official Placement as it is not an IT institute, this institute is for research in Basic Science. So, I prefer to talk about summer internships. Students go to Germany, US , India(TIFR,IISc ,IITs etc) for a summer internship. We get 3 months full holiday which is enough for summer research programmes. A lot of research paper get published on basis of work on a summer project.
- At TIFR, we get 7000 Rs per month as VSRP fellowship.
- Generally, we get Rs. 5000 as INSPIRE Internship and 20,000 per year for Internship expenses.
- In Germany or Finland, the converted money amount is around 1 lakh per month.
- R&D companies generally come. Aakash institute(Coaching ) also comes. SHELL comes etc.
- Around 40% students take Ph.D. admissions either in India or abroad(general trend). where they get around Rs. 2.5 Lakh per month as the stipend, in India they get Rs. 32,000 per month.
- Some of our alumni secured admission in MIT, Max plank institute, Harward, Oxford etc.
