Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The curriculum provides unique blend of theory and practical aspects of the subject. Areas of improvement can be reducing the number of Intakes every year. Mostly examinations are held once in 1 to 2 months.

Internships Opportunities

4.5

Mostly students of for research internships in labs of different professors all across the country. They also apply in the institute itself. They work with the professors on research topics and problems in the respective fields.

Placement Experience

4.5

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.

Fees and Financial Aid

In the first semester the student has to pay a total of 68800 to the institute out of which 35000 is taken as the seaten substance fees and rest as the first semester fee. Among all the fees only the question money of 5000 is refundable at the completion of the degree. Apart from 1st semester all other semester fees is 53100. Insta warrior free becomes 106200. For students of schedule caste and schedule tribes tuition fee is not taken. Hence they only pay hostel fee and other academic fees. Institute supports Department of science and technology inspire scholarship.

Campus Life

4.5

The annual first name is ENTHUZIA. The first is held in March of each year. There are so many student run groups which take care of the non academic side of the campus. The sports and extra curricular activities are excellent . each year intrisers sports meet and cultural meet is organised in which all the IISERs participate

Hostel Facilities

4

Hostel facility is quite good and freshers are given new hostels. The hostel room has two almirahs , two tables, two cots , two tube lights , one fan and three charging ports. The room is quite good for double occupancy. LAN port is also provided inside the room for wifi access.

Admission

I also got offers from other IISERs but I choosed is a Bhopal because of its great academic culture and research. The admission process is monitord by joint admission council. For getting the college one needs to give iiser aptitude test held in June of each year. Then the student needs to qualify it and submit a preference list of all the IISERs.

Faculty

4

Number of faculties depend on the department you are talking about. But generally there is one faculty member available for 20 students. I like Dr jayanto Chowdhury because of his kind nature and great teaching abilities. Normally two graded quiz and mid semester and end semester examinations happen in a regular semester. Still around 5% of a batch fails at least in a course

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.

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
