Life of Bio post grads

Hello all :) I’m prepping for IIT JAM BT 2026, aiming to get into IISc for my MSc. I want to know what life is actually like there — especially for students in bio-related departments. If you're a current student or alum, I’d love to hear from you. What’s the academic vibe like? How’s the overall culture? Anything you wish you knew before joining? How are the hostel and mess facilities? I'd also love to connect with fellow students preparing for JAM BT 2026, aiming to get into IISc. Would really appreciate any insight or advice! Have a good one xd
