Does NISER have a placement cell like engineering colleges?

NISER does not have a conventional placement cell like IITs or NITs since its primary focus is research and higher studies. However, there is a Career Development Cell that tries to direct students to research careers, fellowships, and scientific positions in organizations such as BARC, ISRO, DRDO, or analytics companies. Students who seek jobs generally use faculty referrals, internships, and competitive exam skills (e.g., GATE, CSIR-NET) to get employed in government laboratories or private research departments.

Are PhD students at NISER financially and career-wise assisted as well?

Yes, indeed. PhD students are given fellowships between INR 31,000 and INR 35,000/month, sponsored by CSIR, DST, or in-house projects. They travel to international conferences, partner with research labs overseas, and many pursue postdoctoral fellowships overseas. They are trained in teaching assistantships, grant writing, and publication of researchleaving them poised for careers in academia, national laboratories, or industry R&D.

Is there an alternative plan for those students who do not want to do research post-NISER?

Yes. Although research is the primary aspect, NISER graduates are highly skilled in problem-solving, data analysis, and quantitative reasoning, which makes them suitable for non-academic jobs in:Data science & analyticsPolicy research and think tanksScientific communicationCompetitive exams (UPSC, SSC, GATE, etc.)By planning strategically, students can construct diverse careers even outside of conventional science research.

One of the best institutes if you want to pursue a career in research

hostels are provided to all integrated MSc students with double occupancy for the first 3 years and then single occupancy in the final 2 years. the hostel rooms are furnished with a bed, a table and a chair for all students. the rooms are decent in size and also have a cupboard for storage. there are currently 4 different canteens in the campus which provide food at a resonable price set by the authority. the students can choose a canteen according to their choice of menu and pay at the counter and eat. there is no provision of pre payment or month end payments.

All about NISER

We usually don't have any hostel fees, total fees including hostel fees are 9400Rs, we don't have a mess, instead of the mess we have 4 canteens running right now, we can eat from anywhere we want, we need to pay before having our meals, and the cost is affordable like chicken curry for 33Rs but sometimes food quality is not good, but to check all these things we have Gymkhana and HEC.

Niser review

Yes, all students of niser are required to stay in hostels. As the buildings are new, about 3-4 years old, they are in very good conditions. Rooms are spacious are clean. A dedicated group of people clean all the corridors each day. Canteen is present inside the hostel providing good quality food at a very reasonable price.

NISER: RESEARCH WITH PASSION

Campus life is so much more enjoyable. Annual feat takes place in our college with promo and grandeur. The library is world-class, and there is the availability of research papers from any journal. There are many groups like zariya, astrophysics, dance, quiz, debate, etc. These groups are run by students.
