We got to sit in our classroom even before our first lecture day. During our counseling, we had an interaction with our seniors in the classroom itself.
On our second day at IISc Bangalore, we had a small discussion with the UG Deans, and then with the lab instructors.
On the first teaching day, close to 100 students were present in the Main Lecture Hall. It can occupy around 200 students and is air-conditioned. Our teacher made each of us introduce ourselves. She started the lecture with basic concepts.
The thought of studying with the brightest minds in India delighted me and my first day of attending classes at IISc Bangalore went well.
