    It has amazing infrastructure and really good facilities.

    IISER Bhopal: A place for bright minds to thrive.
    Placements: As the course is more focused on research, so PhD positions are more encouraged. Alumni get PhD positions all over the world, including any prestigious institutes. The majority of students opt for a PhD and many still opt for industry positions. Both are well supported. Placements are quite low for the BSMS course.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms are big and well-equipped with modern technology. Labs are included with many equipment relevant to courses and are well-maintained. Hostels are big and spacious. Rooms are shared between 2 students. Wi-Fi is available all over campus. Medical facilities are available on campus 24x7. The mess has quality service and the menu is changed every month. Sports facilities including professional equipment and trainers are available for many sports.
    Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, and a majority of them have experience from abroad. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about their fields. Teaching quality is great for all courses. The course curriculum starts with a wide range of subjects, which narrows down to one major subject of the student's choice. Semester exams are not very difficult. The pass percentage is 95%.
    Other: I chose this course because I am interested in it as the course is research-based in natural sciences. The course is very flexible as the students choose fields and courses. It should be improved by providing more exposure to fields that some students have never studied before, for example, Biology, Earth Sciences, and Humanities. Events are numerous and frequent, both academic and non-academic. The campus crowd is very friendly and supportive. Campus is a bit far away from the city, i.e, 15 KM, but plenty travel facilities are available. Extracurricular activities are available and encouraged.

    Student review - IISER Bhopal.
    Placements: IISER Bhopal has a placement cell, but the campus placement is not very satisfactory. Most students are research-oriented and end up taking Ph.D. positions, which leaves corporate offers. The highest package was 28 LPA, and the average package is about 8 LPA. Major companies include Barclays, SBI Nomura, and Dr. Reddy's Lab.
    Infrastructure: All academic buildings and laboratories are well-equipped with all necessary instruments. The lecture hall complex, seminar halls, and auditoriums are well furnished and equipped with hybrid technology. The institute has almost all sports facilities, a well-maintained library, an equipped gym, and a free health center for students. The hostel rooms are double occupancy, and mess contractors are all within the 250-acre campus.
    Faculty: I really like the professors and instructors at IISER Bhopal. They are experts in their fields and are quite approachable. They are also open to constructive discussions. The course curriculum is mostly focused on research-oriented learning. It covers both the history of science and new discoveries.
