IISER Berhampur Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

I chose this college without planning as I couldn't get a desired seat in IIT. But I think it was for good. The course is a wonderful primer on the path of becoming a scientist. Compared to other colleges, IISER Berhampur has a quite good faculty: student ratio. But most of them are pretty good as people and as teachers. We manage to conduct all classes without fail. But I'd like to see an increase in the number so that the research area can be broadened. The faculty here have all completed their Ph.D. and postdoc and all have some good prior experience in research and teaching. I like most of the instructors that have taught me except for a few one or two. The exam schedule is given right with the calendar release of each semester before the semester starts. Sometimes there might be changes in the schedule but we are informed around 2-3 weeks earlier in that case. Exams are not hard to pass if you attend classes and study sincerely. Questions are not asked beyond the concepts being taught.

IISER Bpr offers cutting-edge scientific research facilities. If you want to succeed in science, IISERs are the place to be, since they provide research training with cutting-edge technology and instruments from a young age. The professors at any IISER are highly qualified and prominent scientists from institutions such as MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Tier, IISc, and many others around the world. Due to a large number of pupils, the faculty: student ratio stands out as a deficit. Semesters are typically four months long, with assessments based on projects, quizzes, assignments, lab work, mid-sem, and end-sem. The questions in the exam are quite challenging and require deep understanding, one needs to analyze the course with great understanding to excel in the exam.

I did opt for this course because I was very eager about research studies. IISER is a college that allows vast opportunities for research in physics, chemistry, biology, maths, earth, and environmental sciences, engineering physics, engineering biology, and engineering chemistry. So, if anyone wishes to be absorbed in the research field, IISER is the best college for him/her. Faculty: student ratio is almost 1:70 which is perfect for an ideal education system. All the faculties are highly educated and have done Ph.D. and Post Doc. from distinguished institutions. The teaching method is mainly through slides. The teacher explains the concepts on the blackboard and also provides ready-made slides describing everything that has been taught in the class that day. There is a total of 2 semesters in one year. Each semester has 2 exams- mid-semester and end semester. So, in total there are 4 exams in a year. It is not at all difficult to pass but one has to study sincerely.

If you only think about your placement then don't go for it but if you want to be a researcher/scientist then IISER is the best option for you. There are lots of highly educated faculty in our institute. Their teaching method is really awesome. You ask them any doubt at any time. Yeah, exams are a little bit difficult. After choosing a major in your 3rd year you'll find the difficulties.

According to me, this is a very helpful course if you want to go into research fields. The students who love to explore the subjects and like to study basic science will definitely get the importance of this course. In my college, the faculties are very helpful and generous. They always try to show you different paths of exploring the subjects and the philosophy behind them. This helps students a lot to think differently.

I have been attracted to research in astronomy which led me to choose this course. Our institution is a recent one not having many faculties but they are good and use various interesting techniques to teach us. We have a mid sem and end-semester exam every sem making it 4 official exams every year along with several quizzes and assignments. Difficulty level however depends on the faculty

This institute is under national importance. Controlled under Ministry of HRD (Govt. of India). It is the India's best research institution. There are very highly qualified professors present. They are available 24*7 for you in ofline or online. You will get the world class teaching here.

There are placements occurs and at the best companies who are rulling over the world like Google, Microsoft, L'oreal, HUL, ITC, Indian Oil limited etc.Rather than placements there also millions of carrer opportunities after your course.Who ever getting placements have good CGPA in their whole course.Dont worry, You came to the right place for your career in science.

At 4th year students are eligible for placements. Before that, you can also work in your own company from your invention. Generally, students do not choose placements here. They like to run their own company with their own inventions. You will get millions and millions of money by using the knowledge gained here in this college.I would like to make my own inventions and help it for the public.

Since the first batch is yet to complete its graduation so no idea about placement but we do have a placement cell. This year the first batch that is 2018 batch is in the final year and the placement will start within few days after that we can have a proper idea.
