A brief review of IISER Bhopal

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.

You can get the internship from professor or by coldmailing them, you can go for reading project given by them. Or you can also apply in companies or colleges. Many students have got them and they do this often in Summer and Winter Vacations.

Fees are paid every semester and, for the first year, overall tution and hostels fees included is 1,20,000 INR, while mess fees is excluded and costs less than 4,000 INR permonth, Tution fees are excluded for SC/ST students. Many Scholarships are available here like DST Inspire, State Level Scholarship, Shraman, etc.

Fests and Events are very happening here. We have Annual Fest Enthuzia, we celebrate every festival of india in enthusiasm here as the students come from very diverse background. Library is very big hygienic and consists of 3 floors. Most of the Books are available and easy to Issue. Classroom are very good and each of them has a smart projector Connectivity. Students run most of the things here, from Outreach programs to event hosting, Sports activity are very functional and very good honestly.

Rooms are properly lit and we have ethernet high speed RJ45 port, two mains power outlet one high power output port, a bed cot, a chair, tubelight and a led holder port, for each student out of two for which one room is alloted. For each hostel, a seperate mess is given and the quality depends on mess, but overall the food given is satisfactory, but should not be compared with food at home. Hostel is given as you get your admission form. No day scholars are allowed here in this college. Evryone must reside in the designated hostel.

I didnt applied to many other colleges, I wanted what this college provided, and got here. The course and faculties, the exposure and Insights we get here was very promising to me. Students can get here by applying to IISER Admission Test (IAT), form of which is released every year in April May. As the demand for such colleges is ever increasing, cutoff are predicted to go higher each passing year.

The Faculites teaching here are very well qualified and most of them are foreign returns, Their methods of teaching and explaining is very professional. Ratio of faculty to students can be estimated 1:30. But few of them are nasty, not everyone is perfect on their own. Semester exams are tough and no one is allowed to cheat and fool the invigilators, however the long proven method of studying a night or week before exams works here too.

We have a decent gym, a very good library, and a sports ground for every sports here. We have a night time restriction on few things here like library, cafe, gym, most of others are open all day and night. We have ICH and Cafe Coffee Day here, Ideation Hut, Amul Dispensary, all of which are good but they can be pricey sometimes
