I am grateful to study in a premium institute like mine.
Infrastructure: It is not top-notch but should be ranked higher like IITs and NITs. Hostel rooms are nice with most facilities you need. There are no restrictions for late coming and for night owls like me. The most peaceful and joyful thing is the freedom you get.
Faculty: It depends on the professor. Some have absolute grading, and some have relative grading. Sometimes, they give marks in quizzes but make midsem papers tougher than ever. If I look back at JEE questions, they seem very simple. We are just not good enough to solve them. Here, courses are well organized. We do experiments in the lab related to our theoretical courses. Also, professors are very cool. They teach in innovative ways and make the question papers application-based.
Other: I am in a research college, students are less enthusiastic, but it is still a better organization. My favorite subjects are learning and lab work. I am from the 2024 batch and want to pursue my major in Physics (Optics).

A college where I started my life and career, and it was my best choice.
Placements: Our college is more focused on research, so mostly people from IISER go for Ph.D. It will enrich their profile so if you are enthusiastic to explore the side of research, it's best to choose this. The one who is looking for a job doesn't fit here. There are placements but less compared to IITs.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty good. I do not expect the course to be this much interesting and helpful in my career path. Hostels are good but 2 sharing rooms. The area and facilities are eco-friendly. Best thing is we will get IISER Wi-Fi almost everywhere so there is no need to charge extra GB for that.
Faculty: Teachers are so friendly and approachable. We can express any doubts about our course, path, and all. Always staying interactive with them is the key to having a good connection with professors at IISER Bhopal. In my experience, these are the things I love to tell everyone about my IISER life.
Other: A lot of sports facilities are available here.

A good space for students with a curious and a patient mindset.
Placements: As the placement cell of this college is still in its primitive stage, one should not expect direct placements from the college itself. Also, it is a research college; it doesn't give job-ready degrees like B.Teach and all. However, upcoming batches are also getting B.Teach, so we will see what is there in the future. You can always go off-campus; however, very few companies have visited in the past that offered 5-8 LPA on average, and to be honest, there is no reliable data for placements. You can expect on-campus placements for mass recruiting companies like TCS and Infosys.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure, rooms, hostel, library, and mess are decent and could be considered top-notch by many. It has high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the college. Labs here are very good, as expected in a college of research. We have 10 classrooms, which are going to increase as a new lecture hall is proposed. Other than 7 hostels, 2 more are under construction. A new research facility for sustainable tech is also being built. The campus size is over 200 acres, which is large. We have a health center, a shopping center, and a sports area for every game here.
Faculty: The curriculum is overall research-driven, and for UG students, we get the first 2 years to study the overall subjects of pure science. After that, we get to choose our major, increasing the flexibility and relevance of the course. Faculty members here are very supportive and motivating; however, not everyone will like it here. Semester exams for students other than the 1st year are tough, as one should expect in an academically rigorous course.
Other: If you want to have knowledge of pure sciences and would like to grow your career in academia, nothing else would be a better space than IISER. You will gain tons of knowledge, where you can grow your skills and put them to use. The crowd here is from all over India; you will celebrate every festival India celebrates. You are not going to be bored in college; there is always something good or bad happening. Be different from the herd and choose what you want.
