Now that is a question asking for a lot of details! While the courses part is something that I have not gone in too much depth (I talked about physics courses in the core years here: Anshuman Acharya's answer to Does the first two years ciricullum of physics in IISER cover almost entire physics of class 11 and 12? ), I assumed that I have talked enough about my projects. However, I realised that in answers like this: Anshuman Acharya's answer to As a BS-MS student from IISER, what are some of your internship experiences? , I have focussed more on the “experience” of the project, rather than the project itself.So I shall try to do that in this (very long!) answer, and I hope it is helpful. Do note that I have yet not completed my 5th year (it is yet to formally begin, although I have begun working on my Master’s thesis). So I shall have to edit this answer later, for adding in the details of 2 electives that we take in our 5th year, here at IISER Mohali. For details about the courses mentioned in this answer, do go through the Courses of Study at IISER Mohali available online[1] .*****************************COURSES OF STUDY******************************CORE YEARS:1st Semester:BIO101 - Cellular Basis of Life : This was a basic introduction to cellular biology, and was aimed at ensuring that regardless of whether you have studied biology in 11th and 12th or not, you can exit from this course at an equal footing.BIO111 - Biology Lab 1: This was basically the practical aspects of what was done in the theory class. So it was definitely more interesting, although staring down the microscopes to look at the cells was often headache inducing for me!CHM101 - Chemistry of Elements and Chemical Transformations: Basically a crash course for chemistry, with some new concepts thrown in to do away with some of the random rules and base it on more logical reasoning. It has both organic and inorganic chemistry.CHM111 - Chemistry Lab 1: Quite simply, this is the practical side of the theory course. So put on your lab coats, and start creating colourful liquids/puffs of smoke!HSS101 - Language Skills A or B: The class is divided into 2 parts, based on some evaluation, as well as your personal choice. While A covers basic English skills and grammar, B is more advanced, and given the instructor, is actually a crash course into critical thinking, analysis and even a dash of philosophy. And yes, we know that calling A as Basic and B as Advanced was a huge missed opportunity.IDC101 - Introduction to Computers: Should rename the course to introduction to Python, because that’s what it is all about.MTH101 - Symmetry: In mathematics, if they call it something short and sweet like “symmetry”, know that something fishy is going on. This course is an introduction to group theory, and abstract mathematics in general. It is an equal opportunity for everyone to realise how less they know in mathematics, regardless of their subject combination in 11th and 12th. ;)PHY101 - Mechanics : Covers everything from Newtonian, to some aspects of Special Relativity. Consider it a crash course, but with a good teacher, it can help you relearn physics in a more intuitive way.PHY111 - Physics Lab 1 : Not just a practical side of the course. This course will be your introduction to the importance of, and the measurement of errors in any experiment. Be prepared for a crazy first lab (not sure if that can be done for the Monsoon semester of 2020), where you shall repeat a very simple measurement several times. Also, be prepared for the results of this seemingly weird task.2nd Semester:BIO102 - Gene Expression and Development : Introduction to developmental biology. PCM background people may find it a bit annoying.BIO112 - Biology Lab 2 : Probably you have been hearing a lot about PCR testing for CoVID? You would learn that in this course, apart from other techniques.CHM102 - Atoms, Molecules and Symmetry : AKA Introduction to Quantum chemistry. Definitely mind blowing if taught well. Can become overwhelming if it is taught more rigorously though.CHM112 - Chemistry Lab 2 : Titrations and crystallisations of various types.HSS102 - History of Science: Evident from the name. It is a history of how science evolved over the centuries, from the early civilisations in Greece, India, and Egypt, to the 20th century.IDC102 - Hands on Electronics : Has theory as well as lab classes. Basically learn a good variety of circuits (amplifiers, integrators, differentiators, etc.) which is fun when it works and frustrating when it doesn’t.MTH102 - Analysis in One Variable : You think you know limits, differentiation, etc.? No you don’t. This course reminds us that we have often just accepted some rules without understanding the justification behind them. Transforms mathematics from a tool to an exploration.PHY102 - Electromagnetism: Fairly evident from the name.PHY112 - Physics Lab 2: Goes hand in hand with the theory course.3rd Semester:BIO201 - Genetics and Evolution : Introduction to the subject. Has a good amount of probability, statistics, and even computation (you will use software to run simulations for fast-tracked evolution, for example!).BIO211 - Biology Lab 3: Goes hand in hand with the theory course, and has the same instructor.CHM201 - Spectroscopic and other Physical Methods : Will learn the theory behind various spectroscopy techniques, and how to read the results. Rigorous but fun.CHM211 - Chemistry Lab 3: Practical course to go along with the theory. Shall basically perform the spectroscopy techniques discussed.IDC211 - Workshop Training : You will learn how to build stuff with your hands! Wood, metal and even electronics.IDC elective - I chose IDC205 Differential Equations for Scientists from the set of options offered. Fairly evident what it is about.MTH201 - Curves and Surfaces : 3 dimensional geometry, in other words. Is very fascinating, once you are able to visualise what is being taught.PHY201 - Waves and Optics : Again self-evident by the name.PHY211 - Physics Lab 3 : Lab course to go with the theory one.4th Semester:BIO202 - Behaviour and Ecology : Quite an interesting course, topics covered is evident by the name.BIO212 - Biology Lab 4 : AKA Bird Watching across campus! Apart from other activities, a major part of this lab is roaming around campus to discover the various species of birds here. As during this time, the campus is also visited by migratory birds, this can become really fascinating. Feel free to guess the number of species my group discovered (and we didn’t find them all!) in the comments. :)CHM202 - Energetics and Dynamics of Chemical Reactions : AKA Thermodynamics.CHM212 - Chemistry Lab 4 : Goes hand in hand with the course.HSS202 - Philosophy of Science : Explores the philosophical contexts of what science is about, and introductory discussions based on that.IDC elective - I chose IDC201 Introduction to Astronomy from the electives offered. Fairly self-evident.MTH202 - Probability and Statistics : Self-evident by the name.PHY202 - Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics : An in-depth look into the subject, with special focus on topics like entropy.PHY212 - Physics Lab 4 : Lab course to go with the theory one.MAJOR YEARS:5th Semester:PHY301 - Classical mechanics : AKA Lagrnangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics. Changes your perspective entirely. Say goodbye to any confusion that may have lingered from first semester.PHY302 - Quantum mechanics : An introductory course, but fairly rigorous.PHY303 - Electrodynamics : Jackson is your frenemy. Naturally rigorous.PHY310 - Mathematical Methods for Physicists 1 : An interesting course going into topics like complex algebra, conformal mapping, contour integrals, differential equations, etc.PHY311 - Advanced Optics Lab : Self-evident. Quite rigorous, but enjoyable if you like working with your hands.IDC351 - Seminar (Attending) : Teaches you how to take notes in seminars, and make concise reports on the same.6th Semester:PHY304 - Statistical Mechanics : Will make PHY202 look extremely basic. Also an introduction to dealing with bosonic and fermionic systems.PHY306 - Advanced Quantum Mechanics : Arms you with the techniques with which you can approach a lot of things. Want to prove existence of antimatter? It shall be done. Explain properties of the atom/any particle in a concise way? Done.PHY312 - Advanced Electronics Lab : Remember IDC102? This is the lab that uses the entire course in the first 1–2 labs, and then builds upon that. In the end, you shall work on a unique research project to showcase your understanding built through this lab.PHY elective - I chose PHY422 Computational Methods in Physics 1, which was an introductory course in numerical analysis, interpolation, and solving of ordinary and partial differential equations.Open elective - I chose a Humanities course, HSS622 Cities: Urban Theory and Laboratory, as we need to do 2 humanities courses in our major years. The best part of the course was that we could roam around Chandigarh and choose a topic as a project based on what we observe in the city, and correlate it with the theory taught.IDC352 - Seminar (Attending) : Continuation of IDC351, in order to include more variety of seminars.7th Semester (Heaviest, as has one extra course)PHY401 - Nuclear and Particle Physics: A bit theory heavy, but still fascinating.PHY402 - Solid State Physics : Your introduction to condensed matter physics. Quite rigorous, but covers a lot of fascinating theories.PHY403 - Atomic and Molecular Physics : A continuation of the Advanced Quantum Mechanics course, to wrap up quantum mechanics. For further exploration, electives can be taken.PHY411 - Nuclear Physics Lab : Ever thought of dealing with radioactive substances and studying their properties? You can do that here!Open elective - I chose PHY638 Physics of Fluids, which is pretty self-evident.Open elective - I chose CHM619 Numerical Methods in Chemistry, which starts from the basics covered in Computational Methods in Physics 1, and develops them further. Application is not limited to chemistry.IDC451 - Seminar (Delivering) : This course required us to actually deliver a seminar with time limits, followed by questions from peers and professors. Delivered a seminar on my third year summer project.8th Semester (Cut short due to the pandemic)PHY elective - I chose PHY635 Gravitation and Cosmology, which is basically a rigorous introduction to General Relativity, and builds upon that to concepts in cosomology.PHY elective - I chose PHY637 Astrophysics, which is a more in-depth study of topics in observational astrophysics, building upon concepts in IDC201 and PHY638.Open elective - I chose my second humanities course, HSS602 Social Theory. Explores the ideas of various philosophers and thinkers, based on which our society is shaped. We wrote articles on news reports which showed the theory in action. My best moment was when I predicted that US shall try to escalate a war with Iran, but Iran shall not let it happen, through one of my articles. :)Open elective - I chose PHY425 Computational Methods in Physics 2, which builds upon the concepts taught in PHY422, going more in-depth in dealing with ODEs and PDEs, integration techniques like Runge-Kutta, Fourier transforms, etc.IDC452 - Seminar (Delivering) : We were supposed to select a paper and deliver a timed seminar based on it. However, this was changed to just a slideshow along with a brief summary of what we would have said for each slide, due to the pandemic.9th Semester (Online)Open elective - I chose IDC402 Nonlinear dynamics, chaos and complex systems, which was a fascinating course. We basically worked with discrete and continuous dynamical equations, that can be used to model physical phenomena. Thus, the course involved theoretical analyses and building of small simulations, which made for a fun combination that could be effectively carried out despite the semester being fully online. We also had to do a term paper, on a topic of our interest, and I worked on simulating the behaviour of the “van der Pol oscillator”.PRJ501 - Master’s thesis project : This was just the graded part of the Master’s thesis project that we are doing in our final year.10th Semester (Online)Open elective - I chose PHY654 Astrophysics II: Galaxies and Cosmology, which was a continuation of the PHY637 and PHY635. It starts off with an understanding of the Milky Way galaxy, then moving out gradually to larger scales. Thus, the course finally ended at cosmological scales and study of large scale structures. We also had to work on a term paper/review project, and I worked on “Supermassive Black Holes: From Active Galactic Nuclei to SgrA*”, write a short report on it, and finally give a presentation on the same to the Astronomy group in the Physics department at IISER Mohali.PRJ501 - Master’s thesis project : This was just the graded part of the Master’s thesis project that we are doing in our final year.***********************************PROJECTS**********************************I have detailed the reading projects mentioned below (1, 2 and 4) in this answer: Anshuman Acharya's answer to What is reading project in IISER?Did a reading project with a professor at IISER Mohali on Interactions of Light with Matter in the first half of the winter break after first semester.Did a reading project with a professor at NISER on the Standard Model of Particle Physics in the second half of the winter break after first semester. I was back at home (then at Bhubaneswar, currently parents live in New Delhi), and needed the work!Did my first summer internship at TIFR Mumbai, in the field of experimental soft condensed matter physics. I had to build an apparatus which could be subject to multiple forces, in order to study the transition between sliding and rolling friction in glass granules kept inside, and the effects generated by the same. I also developed a program to track the motions of individual glass granules.Did a reading project on Direct Large Scale N-Body Simulations of Planetesimal Dynamics, with a professor at the University of Maryland, the USA.Took part in the Touch the Jovian Moon Competition organised by LPSC, ISRO. Our team became a national level finalist, however, we couldn’t go for the finals as our summer internship dates clashed with the date of the final. We had to choose a moon of Jupiter, and develop a well-researched scientific proposal to launch a rover on the moon, taking into consideration all aspects of travel, science to be done, goals, timeframe, etc.Did my second summer internship at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the USA, on the Effect of various UV backgrounds (generated by quasars) on the Circumgalactic Medium. The Circumgalactic Medium refers to the diffused gas clouds around galaxies, which can come in between us and a quasar. When that happens, the quasar’s UV radiation excites atoms in the cloud, which can be observed as absorption spectra. This gives us an idea about not just the galaxy, but also the quasar behind it. However, we know many quasars and many galaxies. Can we develop a code that can predict their properties, solely based on the observed spectra, when everything else is unknown? That was the goal of my project. Currently working on a paper for the same.Was a part of the core team of the SWAN Pulsar Imaging Challenge by RRI. I was mainly in-charge of testing the data collection and parsing code.Did my third summer internship as a DAAD WISE fellow, at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, on the Properties of Loss Cone Stars in a Cosmological Galaxy Merger Scenario, where I was in-charge of analysing data generated by an N-body simulation of a galaxy merger, where each galaxy has a Super Massive Black Hole. These 2 SMBHs form a binary, and eventually merge, due to interactions with stars, dark matter, etc. present in the galaxies. I had to study these interactions and analyse how they evolved. We are in the process of submitting a paper on our work for the same.Was supposed to do my fourth summer internship and Master’s thesis at the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard and Smithsonian, with full funding from a research grant by Chandra. However, due to the pandemic, I am currently pursuing it remotely. Primarily, I am studying an exoplanet system consisting of a Sun-like star and a hot Jupiter, to understand if and how interactions between them could be affecting the stellar X-ray activity of the star. In particular, I am focussing on coronal X-ray activity, using data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory satellite.That wraps up this very long answer covering almost all aspects of academics that I have experienced in IISER. There is certainly more to IISER than just academics, but perhaps that would be better put in another answer.For those who find the answer too long, I apologise. Do note that the questioner did ask for a detailed answer though! ;)Footnotes[1] https://www.iisermohali.ac.in/course-structure

The Academy ExperienceThe Academy convenes the very best in higher Civil Service training and capacity building at its sprawling campuses-Charleville, Glenmire and Indira Bhawan- in the salubrious and pristine climes of Mussoorie.Participant take advantage of a vibrant campus life, competent faculty and the best of infrastructure facilities for interactive learning to develop the requisite professional competencies, skills and attitudes necessary for a career in public service.The Academy AdvantageCompared with other leading global service training centers such as Sunningdale, Sandhurst Military Academy in the United Kingdom, Ecole National’ in Paris, and West Point in the United States, the Academy is uniquely positioned in that it combines” all Souls college with a mechanics workshop.”The Academy weds theory and practice. It offers participants-new recruits and those availing post-entry level/mid-career training in the higher civil services- an opportunity to deliberate on challenges and opportunities for good governance, share and explore new frameworks for improving public policy formulation and public services delivery, shape attitudes, upgrade professional skills and competencies and enable them to be the leaders of tomorrow. While the training curriculum is extensive and need-based, the pedagogy is equally diverse and interactive.The faculty comprises carefully chosen practitioners from across the Civil Services in India with distinctive professional accomplishments, leading academics and eminent visitors. They are scholar-practitioners with the responsibility to assess training needs, design curriculum and identify pedagogy and deliver programmes.The Academy is unique in its ability to draw out specialists from the non-government and private sectors in addition to those from leading global institutions to supplement the efforts of the in-house faculty. As a result, it has emerged as a hub for learning and exchange of ideas from within and outside the Government.The Academy has distinguished alumni. They include Vice-Presidents, Cabinet Ministers, Governors, Heads of the Civil Services at the Union and the States, Ambassadors, Police Chiefs, environment and forest conservationists and others, who without much public visibility for fanfare, are engaged in the task of delivering the vision of’ an inclusive and developed India’ with unflinching commitment and absolute dedication.The Academy is committed toward building an effective, efficient, responsive and accountable civil service characterized by integrity in thought and action.A day in the life of aTraineeA typical day for an Officer Trainee at the AcademyA typical day for an Officer Trainee (OT) at the Academy starts at 6 am with morning exercise drill at the Polo Ground for 60 minutes or a 6-10 km jog. The riding schedule operates simultaneously. The OTs have about an hour to get ready, have breakfast and report for classroom sessions, which commence at 9 am.There are 5-6 academic sessions of 55 minutes on all working days as per a per-determined session plan. Evening hours from 5 pm till 7:30 pm are slotted for sports and riding. Most cultural performances and programmes are also scheduled in the evening before dinner at 8 pm. The OTs use the post-dinner time to interact with each other and also to review the day’s learning and prepare for the sessions for the next day. Notified holidays and weekends are usually reserved for extra-curricular activities such as community services, adventure sports-rock climbing, para-gliding, river rafting, shorts treks,etc. A course usually demands 14-16 hours of activity per day, which is about 80 hours of academic and other engagements per week.The importance of physical and mental fitness in leading a life of health, vitality and peace needs no reiteration. It is all the more critical for those who have hectic and often tension-filled career. Officers under training are strongly encouraged to lead a rich, varied and vibrant campus life extending much beyond the confines of lecture halls. The Academy places strong emphasis on outdoor events as part of its dynamic training curriculum. The Happy Valley Sports Complex has been expanded to meet the growing physical training needs of various course participants.
