Dislikes

I generally dislike the mess food, rest all is fine
Also, the wether is not much good in summers, rest in rainy and winters are just amazing.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is really interesting and very in-depth. But as I mentioned it's quite hard. Some faculty do make it more hard by teaching quite advanced stuff. Some even don't grade well. But it is all the choice to learn better and better. So they teach well and one can understand well if they are interested in learning. Teaching methods are blackboard-based. Some teachers make things very interesting by doing lab visits or explaining in quite interactive ways. Some give programming assignments, some take challenging quizzes, and course homework problems which are sometimes a nightmare but they are to enjoy the subjects. Generally, for core courses, there are 4 exams for each course. For elective courses, the professor can choose any number of exams, or even no exam if he wants. They can decide their way of grading the students, either viva or something another way like programming, homework, etc. the four exams are # quizzes and one sem and one end sem.

A Future Researcher Perspective Of IISER Bhopal

4.1Helpful

Likes

The Campus is huge and has high end facilities. The Labs are some of the most advanced labs in any colleges present in India.
The Physics and Biology department are the best in the college. The professors have a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge about their subjects.

Dislikes

The Chemistry professors are not that good from my experience
The Maths department is one of the worst departments in the college as the professor are extremely strict

Placement Experience:

Placement is taken only by the students are who doing engineering and economic sciences and our placement is not that good as our average package is 5 lakhs per annum and max being 8-12 lakhs. Almost all of the engineering and economic students try to go IIM's after IISER to get an MBA degree. All the natural sciences students after their 5 year course go to various universities in India and abroad to pursue their PhD degree and after go to work in various labs as researchers.

About IISER Bhopal

4.4Helpful

Likes

Diverse people from a variety of states and different backgrounds allowed me to learn different cultures. Very well defined curriculum helps in smooth functioning of academics, sports, cultural events as well as the internships and holidays.
The sports facilities along with the coaching of each and every sports is the best part. The grounds and the courts are very well maintained. Starting any event from the ground level is appreciated by the coaches.

Dislikes

Undertaking PhD is emphasized than placements. The academics are quite hectic as 2 quizzes and Midterm end sem exams are conducted within a span of 4 months. Students managing the events or the coordinators need to sacrifice their academics.
The academic section is not lenient and not very cooperative and so it gets difficult for the students to manage everything. Although it's part of learning and gaining experiences, it comes at the cost of missing few classes.

Placement Experience:

For BS engineering students campus placement is eligible from 4th year and for BS-MS students from 5th year. Very less students go for placement. Not sure but probably I will be doing PhD after getting the degree.

IISER- IIT for basic science students

Likes

Lab facilities and equipments are very good and the clarity of subjects through the professors are also impressive.
Internship and phd opportunities are great it's very easy to go abroad for phd through iisers.

Dislikes

Placement opportunities are very less, so students who are interested in placements do not get enough chances to fulfill it.

Placement Experience:

From 8th semester students are eligible for applying for placements. Companies like Dr. Reddy, Wipro come for placements. But the number of placements are less compared to other colleges as it is a research oriented institute.

Is IISER Bhopal right for you? A Real student's Perspective

3.7Helpful

Likes

As I am a chemistry major, I liked the chemistry professional labs and all other facilities like NMR Spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, CIF etc.
Our campus has access to all sports facilities like cricket,footbal,badminton,kabbaddi,kho-kho and every sport has experienced coaches.

Dislikes

The college is too far away from the city and there are no bus facilities, and the auto charges are not affordable for all.
The mess food in the college is not eatable sometimes and we have to pay whole month mess fees and paying mess fees is compulsory for every registered student. If there was not a compulsion, I could have eaten outside on daily basis.

Placement Experience:

People joining IISER and other research colleges generally go for higher studies like PhD after BS-MS. After 6th semester in BS, people are eligible for campus placements. In BS, the average package is 17 LPA and for BS-MS it is around 7 LPA. Some top recruiters are TCS, Deloitte, SBI, Atotech, REddy's Lab. The percentage of students getting placements in BS is high around 80 percent but in BS-MS it is less because students prefer for higher studies rather than go for placements. My plans after degree will be pursuing for PhD , and if not I will be going for a career in teaching.
