Most Helpful

Likes

I liked the Hostel Facilities. We have been alloted single rooms even during our BS MS period.
Professor are really helpful and guide us throughout our academic journey.

Dislikes

Mess food quality degraded after some time.
Library should have more books so that more students should avail the facilities.

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.

Class Size : 140Course Fees : INR 100000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

BS-MS is basically a research oriented degree. So for getting an internship, one can apply through various portals available for different institutes, etc. Or mailing a professor, whose work matches to your interest, directly can also work. But in the second case you should write a very good mail that should reflect that you are genuinely interested for his/her guidance and support.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Tution fee is Rs. 33,400. I personally feel like they should reduce it. There are many scholarships/fellowships for which students can apply according to their eligibility. Most of the students (80-85%) pursuing BS MS dual degree opt for further studies (PhD) after the completion of their course.

Campus Life :

We have Kyràt which is our annual cultural fest. It usually happens in March-April. There are a lot of cultural and science clubs that actively promoting their agendas for students. All the clubs are student run.

Hostel Facilities :

We were alloted single rooms. A room has table, chair, almirah and bed. Fans and lights were also there. Nightbulb and ethernet port is available in room too. Hostels were easily alloted there is no such different and difficult process that needs to be followed.

Hostel Fee : INR 3000 per year

Admission :

I joined IISER after clearing IISER aptitude test. One can visit its official website for more updates, question pattern, cutoffs and other details. Admission process is pretty simple and easy. Incase there is some issues you can contact JAC.

Faculty :

All the professors have done their studies from top notch institutes. Their profiles are really amazing. They are very friendly (most of them) and approachable. They try to include current research aspects while teaching the courses.

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.
