Famous Quotes about IISc in IISc:

  • IISc provides you skills necessary to grab an opportunity, what is missing is sense and understanding of outside world, can there be a course on that?. - IISc Alumni, March 2020.

  • The best days of IISc are yet to come, it is only 100 years old!. - IISc Alumni, March 2013.

  • Today IISc is standing on hallow academic empires, here hardly 1% of people can survive on their own and rest 99% pretend to be in this 1%. - Over heard at Prakruti, December 2012.

  • IISc is the only place, where the advisor works harder than the student. - J. Haritsa, SERC, IISc (in welcome address to new students, SERC, 2010).

  • The campus of IISc is an addiction.  - Famous quote among IISc students, 2002.

  • You thought that getting into IISc is most difficult, getting out is even more difficult - N. Balakrishnan, SERC, IISc (in welcome address to new students, SERC, 2011).

  • Nothing is good enough in IISc or for IIScians, because what IISc is best at is offering criticism. - Over heard in the C-mess of IISc while having lunch, 2003.

  • You think that Bangalore is lethargic, IISc is ten times more lethargic. - G. Mehta, Ex-Director, IISc (in welcome address to new students, 2001).

  • If you think that IISc is going to do something for you, you are barking at the wrong tree. Only those people who take advantage of IISc can succeed in here. - G. Mehta, Ex-Director, IISc (in welcome address to new students, 2001).
