This is the oldest Research Institute in Asia, established on July 29, 1876 by Dr. Mahendra Lal Sarcar. Now it is a deemed to be University under De Novo Category. Its second campus namely SMART is being constructed at Baruipur.
One of the best research institutes in basic sciences in India! My experience at this place was life-changing. The ambience, the campus, the food and of course the academics are unparalleled in the country
I have been associated with this institute for past seven years with the theoretical physics department. I find the ambiance very good and there are very good researchers in this institute. Recently, they have started integrated bs-ms courses as well as Integrated msc-phd courses. Overall I find this place academically well motivated. Note that there are few reviews claiming this to be part of Jadabpur University and even as an agricultural institute, which is wrong. This is an autonomous institute with no connection to agriculture whatsoever. This has several departments, Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematical and Computational Sciences, Biological Sciences and Interdiciplinary Sciences. So it is highly recommend for pursuing higher academic degrees.
The college certainly has a different and innovate curriculum as it provides integrated courses. It helps the student to have a wide knowledge of the field through the coming five years and have a great deal of research work as well.The college has a placement wing and many internship opportunities are also given to the students in terms of research and training. Medical students usually tend to study more than directly grab for any job.Fee Structure And FacilitiesThe fee structure is aroumd Rs 29,500 for the five year integrated course . As per other medical colleges it is quite cheap and reasonable and one should be surprised to know the facilities they are offering at such a rate.There is a separate department which looks into organizing seminar, journal clubs and interface session with the students. Its focus is also on how to improve the writing skills of the students and organize various workshops.AdmissionIn order to get admission in Bachelors and Masters integrated programme, candidates have to qualify for the UG- pre interview screening test and for masters and PhD integrated programme, its MPST. The exam dates are usually July onwards.The professors of the college are experienced and efficient too. They are always up to solve any dilemmas that we face and have a unique sense of teaching as well. The staff also knows to to maintain an adequate balance between the students
People here are very polite, which is what matters the most. This research institution is a clean place, has greenery and a big pond.
Central research institute. Well maintained. Neat and clean. Teachers and staffs behaviour is nice. Main entrance is opposite of Jadavpur University gate no.- 3
Good for PhD if you want to pursue. But Int Masters-PhD is not quite truly Integrated ! There are many loopholes.And lastly BS-MS course is bit odd not like IISER, the total course of BS-MS is completed in 4years and 5th year is only for MS thesis.
Well-maintained, very neat and clean campus. Buildings are also neat and clean with proper attention under COVID protocol.
Good Institute to do PhD. Atmosphere of campus is superb for study. There is also canteen and hostel facility
One of the best institutes in the country for studying basic science. Their chemistry, physics and biochemistry departments are top notch, with a brilliant, highly acclaimed faculty and access to many sophisticated, ultramodern instruments. If someone is interested in basic science research in India, then IACS definitely is one of the most lucrative options.The campus is small but beautiful and organised and facilities are quite modern and well maintained. However, the administration and management can sometimes behave like a government office with various lapses disruptions in processes which should have been otherwise quite smooth. The institute, though originally was supposed have a confluence of cultures and ethnicities, i.e., an all-india nature to it, but now its mostly a Bengali majority place, with very few non-Bengalis.These shortcomings, can definitely be overlooked, because after all, this is the only Science institute in India which had a Nobel laureate doing most of his lifes work here.
Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) is an institute of higher learning in Kolkata, India.Established in 1876 by Mahendra Lal Sarkar, a private medical practitioner, it focuses on fundamental research in basic sciences.It is Indias oldest research institute Located at Jadavpur, South Kolkata beside Jadavpur University, Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute and Indian Institute of Chemical Biology it is spread over a limited area of 9.5 acres. In May 2018, the Ministry of Human Resource Development announced that IACS had been granted the status of Deemed University under De-novo Category under section 3 of the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act 1956.
Age old Research Institute now also teaches UG and PG courses
One of the best institutes in India dedicated to research and education in basic sciences
Very nice
Wellknown institute for doing research.
My research institute.

Indian Association of Cultivation of Science now located at Jadavpur Calcutta founded by Dr. Mahendralal Sarcar in 1876 is a national institution for higher learning. K S Krishnan, S Bhagavantam, K Banerjee, L Srivastava, N K Sethi, C Prosad and M N Saha are among few of eminent scientist who carried out research works here. This was the place where Sir C V Raman did his monumental work, on Physical Optics. He was awarded Nobel Prize in Science in 1930
Scientific Research Institute with heritage of scientific development in India....First research institute in India as well as In Asia of its King....first Nobel Prize iN Physics in India
A prime research centre of India where C V Raman discovered the so called Raman Effect. Excellent faculty and facility.
Been here for the Summer School of 2015 and only one word since then.. Just Awesome!!Being here is an opportunity, you get to meet some really friendly and Excellent Professors ...Being with them even for a short while teaches you a lot! :)
