IISc Bangalore: 2 Answered Questions

How are the professors at IISC Bangalore? Do they judge you when you ask them questions? Do they cut your marks in internals if you ask them tough questions?

Pratik ParikhLives in Bangalore

The professors here are really approachable and friendly. Let me narrate a few incidents that will convince you

A professor I know sets very tricky questions and on one such exam when the students were busy attempting the challenging paper, he along with some assistants started serving refreshments to the students. Later on, I found out that the assistant was a GOLD medallist from EPFL yet his humbleness overtook his knowledge.
You will be attending the seminars along with your professors who are always eager to learn new things. Despite being degree holders and having huge qualifications their humble attitude towards learning instills a sense of positivity in the students.
What amazes me the most were instances when some professors failed to answer certain questions in the class, and then they got back to you through emails with a properly researched answer. In fact, some professors even stayed throughout the night with their students in labs figuring out answers.
Their dedication level is extremely high as sometimes professors attend seminars even when it’s raining and they are drenched in the way.
The professors value every second and once I saw a professor eat a dry bun and a fruity just to save time.

Trust me, being a part of the IISc family will be the most enlightening experience you will ever have.
