The campus is spectacular and the facilities have been top tier for me.

Dislikes

The girls to boys ratio has been decreasing day by day. The recent batch has been 1:4 ratio.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The curriculum is more research oriented. It focuses on research aspects. We start with 2years of introduction to the course before actually selecting it as a major which I think gives a student a lot of time to make a decision and actually gives an insight of what the course has to offer as a major.

Class Size : 50Course Fees : INR 53000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

There are multiple internships available. There's CHARPAK, MITACS , DAAD which are most popular. Students also go for internships to other IITs or professor's of their choice. Summer Internship is also provided by IISERs with multiple projects and available accomodation.

Placement Experience :

Students are eligible for campus placements from 4th year or final year. Most seniors usually opted for higher studies from IISER as it tended to be more research oriented not go for campus placements.

Fees and Financial Aid :

One-Time Fees (First Semester Only): Admission Fee: Rs. 4,000 Hostel Allotment Fee: Rs. 1,250 Campus Development Fee: Rs. 1,000 Total for One-Time Fees: Rs. 10,000 Semester Fees: Tuition Fee (varies by batch): Rs. 33,400 to Rs. 36,700 Semester Registration and Evaluation Fee: Rs. 3,000 Student Amenities & Activities: Rs. 3,700 Academic Amenities: Rs. 3,000 Total Semester Fee: Rs. 9,700 Hostel Fees: Hostel License Fee: Rs. 2,200 Hostel and Dining Facilities: Rs. 4,500 Total Hostel Fee: Rs. 6,700 Additional Fees: Miscellaneous fees for services such as medical insurance and mess charges are applicable separately. Note: Fees may change annually based on institute or government policies. Reserved categories are exempted from Tuition Fees of 36700 . INSPIRE scholarship is provided to people according to their 12th marks.

Campus Life :

There are main fest happening throughout the year Enthuzia - Cultural Council Arts and Letters - Fine Arts and Literary Council Singularity - Science Council Mahua - Environment Council The library has lots of academic books available and is pretty much accessible to everyone with an ID card. The lecture halls and all academic buildings have centralized ACs and can accomodate large quantity of students. Sports and extracurricular are also spectacular there is annual sports and cultural events between all the IISERs too. There are multiple councils and clubs under this councils which are maintained by the student senate .

Hostel Facilities :

Mess quality has increased significantly in the last semester. Hostel is affordable IISER it is mandatory for the student to be residing on campus. For the first three years everyone has a roommate and is then later given a single room.

Hostel Fee : INR 1800 per year

Admission :

I actually applied only to IISER and got in and took it. I decided I wanted to go to IISER while at coaching and that's what happened. To get into IISER there are three channels - JEE, KVPY AND IAT. IAT is the specific exam you give to get into IISERs. There are multiple rounds for the admission process where you freeze or float your choice of college. The most preferred I would say is IAT followed by JEE. Cutoffs for IAT are mostly hidden so there's not much of an idea there.

Faculty :

Faculties here are good. Some are approachable some are not. One will do well in exams if they have studied that's it. There's not much of hard or easy exams here for my department at least. There is an mid semester examination and an end semester examination obviously between which professor's typically takes one or two quizzes in between owing to 10-20% of the total marks . Depending on professor whether they provide and assignment or take a quiz.

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 .
