Admission :
I also got admission offers from iiser tirupati and iiser berhampur. I chose iiser bhopal because of its diverse streams and placement opportunities. I also applied to iisc and IITs but I couldn't get in because of getting lower mark than the cut-off in the respective examinations. The only exam applicable to get into any of the IISERs is through IISER ADMISSION TEST managed by JAC. Cutoff vary each year but getting an all India rank below 5000 can give you a seat in atleast one of the IISERs. Then counseling process is monitored by JAC and the students are required to submit their preference orders to participate in the counseling . 6 rounds of admission offers are made.
Faculty :
The faculty to student ration is around 1:20.The professors are approachable and are available mostly in their offices. I liked faculties namely Dr. Aditya Sharma, Dr. Debasish nayak , Dr. Manas kar and Dr. Sanjeev Jha. I liked all of them because of their teaching style and explanatory approach. The best faculties are Dr. Ajit bhand , Dr. Ram mishra etc . The only way to get into IISERs Nowadays is through IISER ADMISSION TEST. The exam is easy if compared to IIT JEE and a bit difficult if compared to NEET. The number of students failing is around 2-3 % per batch. The course curriculum is so relevant but the semester is of 4 months in which only examinations take around 1 month in total and also weekends are holidays. Hence slow learners fund it difficult
