Course Curriculum Overview :

The core research-based curriculum made me opt for this course. The flexibility of choosing 3 out of 6 subjects in second year is perhaps one of the best part of this course. The teaching methods employed are excellent and the design of the course is well structured

Class Size : 404Course Fees : INR 100000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

I have had no internships yet, but from interacting with profs and seniors, it is evident that its not that hard to land an internship in the laboratory of a professor, that would give us the right kind of scientific exposure we need for out future

Fees and Financial Aid :

Semester Fee: 33500 per sem Hostel FEE : 7000 per sem Mess fee : 3200 per month there is INSPIRE scholarship for those who are eligible, eligibility includes top 1% in state board/CBSE board There are other scholarships for people with different categories

Campus Life :

Enthuzia is the annual fest held in late Feb-early March Singularity is the annual science fest in January Classrooms have both blackboard for chalktalks and screens for PowerPoint presentations Clubs are active and events from Luminaire the movie club, Uttarang the music club keep us entertained throughout the year

Hostel Facilities :

The rooms are quite small and the fact that we have to share a wardrobe sucks, the washrooms and corridors are cleaned everyday, The mess menu is flexible as its a student run body and the rates are affordable and taste and hygiene are ensured

Hostel Fee : INR 15000 per year

Admission :

I had applied to various engineering colleges in Bangalore , but cancelled my application as their counselling started much later after my seat in IISER got confirmed. Admissions are made by IISER Aptitude Test which test you on basis of 11th and 12th grade syllabus of PCMB. The exam is easy to moderate

Faculty :

There is wide range of faculties and thus this becomes a very difficult question to give a answer as a whole. The overall impression so far has been that most faculties are experienced and well versed in their research areas but this might not necessarily be true in their teaching styles. The contrast between profs exists to a large extent and getting the right faculty sometimes can be luck based

College review by an IISERB student.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Students are exposed to labs from the first year of college which gives us hands on experience to conduct experience and develop scientific rigor. Exam season turns out to be hectic for some depending on the courses of individuals. There are some courses which are hard to score.

Review on IISER Bhopal for BS-Economics

Placement Experience:

For BS-Economics students,institute provides placement oppurtunities. Median package for BS-ECO students for UG-4 years if 17.5 lacs per annum. But only a handful of 10-15 students are able to grab campus-placement oppurtunites and rest all prepare for other competitive exams or go for off-campus placements. The highest package offered for this degree is 34 lacs per annum . companies like delloite, nomura, barclays etc. come to this institute for placements.

IISER Bhopal engineering sciences review

Placement Experience:

From 8th semester onwards student can become eligible for the placements. Mostly students here opt for USD in foreign universities rather than sitting for placements and going to corporate sector. Hence placement scenario is not that great. Steel companies like Barclays numura Bank and Dr. Reddy's lab usually recruit students. The highest package last year was 31 lakhs per my plan is to pursue higher education after the degree

Pros and Cons of IISER Bhopal

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that great because of being a research institute. Mostly companies don't visit again to the campus because most of the students don't sit for placement and go for higher studies in foreign universities. Still companies like Nomura Bank, Barclays , Dr Reddy's lab have visited in recent years. The average package was around 15 LPA because of less number of student sitting for placements.

Placement Experience:

From 7th semester onwards peoplee can opt for placements and hence not choosing to do Ms thesis at IISER . The companies that visit are mainly Nomura bank, Barclays , Sr. Reddy's Lab and Many other Quant Firms.The average salary is as high as 20 LPA due to lesser number of student sitting for placements.My plans after the degree is to get placed in a good company.

IISER Bhopal Overall Review

Placement Experience:

Since IISER Bhopal is a research based institute, the placements here are not judged as in aspect of job placements after bachelor's degree, rather people here generally go for higher studies. But regardless the knowledge and experience gained here by people help them apply for any organisation off campus

IISER Bhopal BS - MS Review

Course Curriculum Overview:

The books used in the course material are of international level. The curriculum prepares a student so practically for academic career and gives exposure to research experiences. The total number of exams are 4-6 in whole semester and the end semester exam paper is mostly difficult amongst them all .
