Admission

I also got admission offers from iiser tirupati and iiser berhampur. I chose iiser bhopal because of its diverse streams and placement opportunities. I also applied to iisc and IITs but I couldn't get in because of getting lower mark than the cut-off in the respective examinations. The only exam applicable to get into any of the IISERs is through IISER ADMISSION TEST managed by JAC. Cutoff vary each year but getting an all India rank below 5000 can give you a seat in atleast one of the IISERs. Then counseling process is monitored by JAC and the students are required to submit their preference orders to participate in the counseling . 6 rounds of admission offers are made.

Faculty

4

The faculty to student ration is around 1:20.The professors are approachable and are available mostly in their offices. I liked faculties namely Dr. Aditya Sharma, Dr. Debasish nayak , Dr. Manas kar and Dr. Sanjeev Jha. I liked all of them because of their teaching style and explanatory approach. The best faculties are Dr. Ajit bhand , Dr. Ram mishra etc . The only way to get into IISERs Nowadays is through IISER ADMISSION TEST. The exam is easy if compared to IIT JEE and a bit difficult if compared to NEET. The number of students failing is around 2-3 % per batch. The course curriculum is so relevant but the semester is of 4 months in which only examinations take around 1 month in total and also weekends are holidays. Hence slow learners fund it difficult

Other Applied Colleges

Institute of Mathematics and Application, Bhubaneswar | B.Sc. (Honors) in mathematics and computing

The college is run by state government and is not so well recognised.

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research - [IISER] | Bachelor of Science [BS] + Master of Science [MS] (Mathematics)

The college is newly built and doesn't offer more facilities as of now.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Curriculum is very research driven, and it is very flexible too. Course is as per the New Education Policy and is relevant to modern industrial needs. However the Curriculum is all around Pure Sciences, like the B.Sc but just the college is much better than a normal BSc college. First two year is given to students to get along with subjects that they want to study in future, in the third year they choose their Majors. Quizzes are frequent and occurs biweekly, while Exams occurs every month and so.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum trains students in various research fields, including lab and theory. The course prepares a student to get either a industry position, or PhD position. The course curriculum can be improved by porividing more exposure to students who havent experienced, these fields. Exams are good, easy if youve understood the course content. These exams are based on a wide information of the topic, and are not limited to just one textbook.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I am just in my first year right now, the courses I have are fairly introductory. But since we have to study PCMB, Earth Science, Programming and a Humanities course just in the first year, it's fairly hard to manage. we have 2 quizzes, a mid sem exam and an end sem exam in each semester typically at the end of each consecutive month (4 month semester). The marking scheme, syllabus, paper pattern, time, difficulty etc are all subject to change according to the professor.

Placement Experience:

As it's a research institution, more emphasis is given to academia and research instead of placements. We have an active placement cell, but still, it's lackluster compared to engineering colleges. The average package hovers around 10 lpa, and only a handful of people get placements. Most opt for Phd or an MBA.

Placement Experience:

Mostly from 8th semester onwards students become eligible for sitting in placements and getting preplacement offers in their applied companies. Companies like nomura Bank ,Barclays and Dr Reddy's lab have visited the campus in the past. Mostly all the students get placed because less number of student sitting for the placements. According to last year data around 31 lakhs per annum was the highest package and the average was around 10 lakhs per annum. My plan is to get into a foreign university for my higher studies.

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
