Things I Wish I Knew Before Joining IISER | Honest Reality of IISER Life

Things I Wish I Knew Before Joining IISER | Honest Reality of IISER Life If you’re preparing for IISER and thinking college life will become “easy” after cracking the exam… this video is for you. In this video, I shared my honest experience as a Biology major student at IISER Berhampur — from hostel life and academics to time management, CGPA pressure, friendships, and the reality of being surrounded by toppers everywhere. I talked about the mistakes I made in my first year, how hectic IISER life actually is, and the things I genuinely wish someone had told me before joining. This is not to scare you, but to help you prepare mentally for the journey ahead. If you are an IAT aspirant or planning to join IISER in 2026, make sure you watch this completely. It might genuinely help you avoid some of the mistakes I made. 🤍 Let me know in the comments what other IISER-related topics you want me to talk about next! #iiser #iat2026 #iiserlife #collegereality #IATAspirants #hostellife #studentlife #iiserberhampur #collegeexperience
