IISc vs IIT | Reflections by an IISc UG Gold Medalist

My honest reflection on IISc UG BS (Research) program. In this video, we talk about the pros and cons of doing your bachelor's from IISc. The idea behind this video is to help prospective students make a more informed decision. Sit back and enjoy and if you're joining, welcome to my alma mater!

Hey fam! Thanks for watching, sorry for all the "aaaa aaaaaa" s xD. Everything I spoke was impromptu and so it came off thay way. Hope this added some value to your decision. Everything said and done, the decision to join/aim to join is completely subjective and I leave it to the individual to decide what suits best for him/her with this being a reference to help in the decision. Cheers!

[@akhilmishra18]

"Damn yr" 🙂😃 Thanks vibh bhaiya, I really want to say that since the day I started following you, my entire perspective towards studies and so many other things has changed significantly. Previously on I was Blindfoldedly sprinting towards things that really were way outta my reach without knowing the real crux of it. I really don't completely know what has actually changed in me but I really have started looking at things pretty differently. Maybe that's your maturity, modesty and rawness that may have sparked these changes in me. And I really am so so so thankful to you 'bout this. Just keep thriving to success and keep inspiring me and all of us. ❣️

Damnn yaar... Its just like, I just finished up with my jee mains exam today & just rollinn around youtube, to get some contexts about other options as well, so I decided to appear in IAT 2023 exams, which is basically a new entrance parameter for IISc UG. But Now, by ur video, I'm thinking upon ur words and co-relate it with my situationships..... I visited ur channel and saw some other videos too.. and it just feels to me like, you r are a creative person,,. but during your college years, you put out only some videos, and I think that is due to the course load at IISc and lack of spare times, to explore much (or there might be any other reason). A kiddo who has just done with his 12th and JEE xams, and trying to explore some new dimensions and interests, should have some spare times to look forward. And I think IISc lacks in this, other premier institutes in India, have some room of doing so... So, I have decided to leave IAT and continue with Adv, and IPMAT as well.. If anyone has read this much, kudos.!! I'll be delighted, if reflect your thoughts too..

[@WhyBhanshu]

I would not say that IISc offers less free time than other premiere institutes in the country, I feel there's ample free time to (just as much as any IIT) to do the things you like. As for why I didn't upload much, it was not because I didn't have time but more because there were so many things I wanted to do and I choose to do them alongside (sometimes instead) filmmaking (like ultimate frisbee, goofing around with friends, parties, etc) because (to me atleast) they were an important part of the true Indian college experience

Bro i have a question that if we do BS form iisc, after graduating we can do direct MS and PHD from iisc or we have to write exam NET or JRF. because during phd we get stipend around 30k will will be enough somehow and we should not worry about placement. and we also have many option doing intern and many thing. My family condtion is not good but i am interested to research. Please guide me.

[@seninahammedap]

You can do direct MS for 1 year without writing any exams. Now, If you have an 8+ CGPA, you can directly sit for a Ph.D. interview. You don't need to write NET/GATE etc. If you have a CGPA of less than 8, you need to write one of the exams and get enough rank.

Please don't draw extreme conclusions. IISc can never be a loss. Also, you don't need an IITM data science course to get a good job (which is what I am assuming the context of this message is) there are more than plenty of resources in IISc that will help you be better prepared (or equipped) to get that good job. My point was only that you will have to do that on top of your regular course load (I did not want the masses to have the wrong perception and you drawing this conclusion goes against the very spirit of the video).

Hi vibh bhaiya, I am currently in class 12 and im really interested in research but the admission cut off for mains and advanced is 770 AIR and it doesn't seem possible considering my academic performance.

Bro the cutoff of bsc is not that high but the btech cutoff is skyrocket like it also feel impossible for me to come in rank 754 for obc and general in jee advance but in IAT exam it's also feel hard to get iisc fir bsc course and I am assuming in this year the btech cutoff will close to rank 500 in advance
