Dislikes

Campus is under construction but it will be finished by 2024
It is in a remote area,so you have to use the institute bus for 40 mins to reach Berhampur city

Course Curriculum Overview :

This is a 5yr Dual BS-MS course.If you want to pursue a career in pure science and research(like me) you can't probably find a better institution than IISER.Each Department for example Biology has over 4 faculty members for 170 students in our batch.Most of the faculties have their Post Doc. done from big institutes like IITS,IISER and foreign Institutes like Cambridge, Stanford,MIT etc.If you follow the lectures and attend them regularly,you will get flying colours in your exams

Class Size : 170Course Fees : INR 100000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

Other IISERs,IITs and IISC Bangalore offer internship from 2nd year(If you are lucky you might get one in 1st year.There are various fields in fields of Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Mathematics which last upto 1 month

Placement Experience :

After 10th Semester, Students become available for Placements.Companies like Wipro,Google and Apple visit our institute.Average package is 50LPA.Almost 95% of the students get placements and rest get PHD in good institutes.I want to do PHD in Cambridge

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Fees is ?54,200 per semester (10 semesters). Scholarships are readily available but i didn't get into this institute with a scholarship.After graduation you can get placements in big companies like Google, Facebook and Apple or you can do PHD from foreign or highly reputed Indian Institutes

Campus Life :

Kyrat is the name of our annual fest around February.As of now ,we don't have a tech fest .We have Inter IISER Cultural Meet(IICM) and Inter IISER Sports Meet(IISM) happening every year in which IISC Bangalore and CEBS Mumbai also participate.We have clubs for subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Biology and extra Curricular Clubs for Film, Music,Dance and Art.Our Campus has Football fields,track, cricket ground, Volleyball, Table Tennis etc.And after the construction of our Indoor Stadiums we will have almost all namely sports played in our institutes.The library is adding books to become one of the best in all IISERs.As of now it has over 6000 books

Hostel Facilities :

There are double(For first years) and Single room with table,chair,bed and Almirah.Hostels are full Wifi and Ethernet is available in every room with 700 Mbps speed.The mess food is sometimes mouth watering and sometimes non edible.It is good experience afterall.Hostels are readily available

If you had PCMB in 10+2 then you can apply for this course through IISER aptitude test.Application form is generally out in late May and exam happens around middle of June.Reservation benefits are just as same as other institutions in this country

Brief inforamtion (IISER BERHAMPUR)

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is good but at the moment I feel like it should be revised. The order in which courses are being offered should be changed and more electives should be added for more choice. Pre major system should also be included, if possible.

IISER BERHAMPUR - You should try once

Course Curriculum Overview:

BS MS is a integrated course that will be a 5 years course programme. Most of the students are science enthusiast so the course are elected from that pov. Courses are good but it can be better for future improvement.

Is IISER Berhampur a good choice?

Placement Experience:

Placements are offered but majority of students opt for higher studies hence not much is focused on campus placements. Personally my plan is to go for a PhD abroad after completing the degree and most students here come with the mindset to pursue research.

Courses and instructors are good, but don't expect a rocking campus life here.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this college without planning as I couldn't get a desired seat in IIT. But I think it was for good. The course is a wonderful primer on the path of becoming a scientist. Compared to other colleges, IISER Berhampur has a quite good faculty: student ratio. But most of them are pretty good as people and as teachers. We manage to conduct all classes without fail. But I'd like to see an increase in the number so that the research area can be broadened. The faculty here have all completed their Ph.D. and postdoc and all have some good prior experience in research and teaching. I like most of the instructors that have taught me except for a few one or two. The exam schedule is given right with the calendar release of each semester before the semester starts. Sometimes there might be changes in the schedule but we are informed around 2-3 weeks earlier in that case. Exams are not hard to pass if you attend classes and study sincerely. Questions are not asked beyond the concepts being taught.

A brief academic and campus Life in IISER Bpr

Course Curriculum Overview:

IISER Bpr offers cutting-edge scientific research facilities. If you want to succeed in science, IISERs are the place to be, since they provide research training with cutting-edge technology and instruments from a young age. The professors at any IISER are highly qualified and prominent scientists from institutions such as MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Tier, IISc, and many others around the world. Due to a large number of pupils, the faculty: student ratio stands out as a deficit. Semesters are typically four months long, with assessments based on projects, quizzes, assignments, lab work, mid-sem, and end-sem. The questions in the exam are quite challenging and require deep understanding, one needs to analyze the course with great understanding to excel in the exam.

Unleashing the hidden secrets.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I did opt for this course because I was very eager about research studies. IISER is a college that allows vast opportunities for research in physics, chemistry, biology, maths, earth, and environmental sciences, engineering physics, engineering biology, and engineering chemistry. So, if anyone wishes to be absorbed in the research field, IISER is the best college for him/her. Faculty: student ratio is almost 1:70 which is perfect for an ideal education system. All the faculties are highly educated and have done Ph.D. and Post Doc. from distinguished institutions. The teaching method is mainly through slides. The teacher explains the concepts on the blackboard and also provides ready-made slides describing everything that has been taught in the class that day. There is a total of 2 semesters in one year. Each semester has 2 exams- mid-semester and end semester. So, in total there are 4 exams in a year. It is not at all difficult to pass but one has to study sincerely.

Life at IISER Berhampur

Course Curriculum Overview:

If you only think about your placement then don't go for it but if you want to be a researcher/scientist then IISER is the best option for you. There are lots of highly educated faculty in our institute. Their teaching method is really awesome. You ask them any doubt at any time. Yeah, exams are a little bit difficult. After choosing a major in your 3rd year you'll find the difficulties.

IISER BPR learning life

Course Curriculum Overview:

According to me, this is a very helpful course if you want to go into research fields. The students who love to explore the subjects and like to study basic science will definitely get the importance of this course. In my college, the faculties are very helpful and generous. They always try to show you different paths of exploring the subjects and the philosophy behind them. This helps students a lot to think differently.
