The infrastructure is outstanding, with almost all sports facilities, equipped gym, nice hostels.
The labs are well equipped with all instruments necessary. More focus is paid towards overall learning, both experimental and theoretical.

Dislikes

The placement scenario is not so nice, as most students prefer to take a PhD position instead of a corporate offer.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The curriculum is well acquinted with theoretical as well as experimental learning. It includes all the historical studies as well as new discoveries in the fields. A 3 month long summer break is part of the academic year to allow students to take up internships and explore the world outside.

Class Size : 55Course Fees : INR 99600 per year

Internships Opportunities :

The internships are usually research-oriented, even though, some corporate opportunities are also available. for research - MITACS Global Link (Canada), DAAD-Wise (Germany), Charpak (France), JNCASR, IAS, IISERs, NITs, IITs, etc with stipend anywhere between 0 to 2000 USD. for corporate - JIO, Reliance, Tata, Aditya Birla Group, etc.

Placement Experience :

Only final-year students are eligible for campus placements. most students at iiserb are research orinented, so even though the institute has a placement cell, not many students take corporate offers. They usually end up taking PhD positions across the globe. The companies that usually come for their placement drive are Barklays, Dr. Reddy's Lab, Nomura, Delloite, SBI. The highest package was approx 28lpa, and the median package is approx 8lpa.

Fees and Financial Aid :

The fee structure is semester-wise, with Rs. 49800/- per semester, and it is increasing almost every batch of admissions. The tuition fees is waived off for SC/ST Reservation, which then comes down to about 17400/- per semester. The institute in itself does not provide any scholarships, but can be applied through various national organisations or the NSP. The course is fully covered under the SBI Scholar Loan Scheme.

Campus Life :

All the student activities are foreseen by the SAC (Student Activity Council), which has various councils and clubs under it. Cultural fest - Enthuzia Student Development fest - MUN Social Initiative fest - Mahua Tech Fest - Arageddon Science Fest - Singularity Art fest - Arts n Letters

Hostel Facilities :

The institute provides hostel accomodation in the campus itself. The cost very nominal with approx 4200/- per semester. The mess is also in the campus itself and monthly charge is 3500/-. The room is double occupansy.

Hostel Fee : INR 8000 per year

Admission :

I applied for various colleges across India, but ended up choosing IISER Bhopal. The main reasons were its prominent focus on research from undergraduate level onwards. It is designed for research oriented education, giving students access to labs, faculty and projects. The interdeciplinary approach allowed me to not only study Biology, but also gain insights in chemistry, EES, CS, Physics and maths. The addmission process for IISER Bhopal, is to clear the IAT (IISER Aptitude Test), score a good rank and then undergo the counscelling process through the JAC.

Faculty :

The whole BSMS program is primarily research orinented learning. The course is semester wise, with Quizes, MidSem and EndSem exams. The grading policy depends on the instructor who is teaching the course. The course curriculum is like, compulsory courses in the first year, then you can choose 3 pre-major subjects in the second year, and then persue a major from the third year.

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.

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

IISERB. An honest review

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

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 .
