    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.

    If students want good exposure then they can come but not for placements.
    Placements: There are very low placements. Most of them are going to research among 100 students. A maximum of 10 students got placements. The average package is 15 LPA. Data science students get the maximum package but this year economic science students got a package of 35 LPA.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure and other facilities are very good. All the infrastructure like a mess, hostel, library, and other amenities are good. We have different types of sports courts in our college. We also have a health center in our college for medical facilities.
    Faculty: Faculty members are quite good enough and very qualified. It is not a typical engineering course here. Most of the course curriculum depends on the research field. There is not much-applied thing or application-based, so we have to study hard to get good grades.
    Other: I chose this because it's an Indian institute so the crowd here is very good. Majorly, the course curriculum is not for a typical engineering student like we can't pass the course just by learning last night before exams. Fests and events are very good.

    The best faculty members ever I could imagine for pursuing my passion in my course.
    Placements: IISERB is primarily a research institute so it does not focus on placement like that. But it does provide placement in BS Eng that is now changed into B.Tech. The average package is 17 LPA- 18 LPA. Companies like TCS Research, Adobe, MathWorks, and IBM Research.
    Infrastructure: Hostel is average to good. We get double occupancy rooms in a hostel with a good Wi-Fi facility. It has a wide spectrum of labs spanning Biology, Physics, Maths data, Science, and Applied Medical Tech. Classrooms are well spacious. Library is good too.
    Faculty: Teachers in IISER are well-qualified they all are done with their Ph.D. from well-renowned universities. They teach a course curriculum that is going to be relevant for future case. They do make the students industry-ready. Semester exams are quite difficult.
    Other: I chose this course because I have been interested in this thing since childhood. Fests are not that good but it's quite enjoyable. The campus crowd is good, students are so intelligent and good.

    Great professors and I loved the chemistry department.
    Placements: Students often continue their academic journey by pursuing master's and doctoral degrees. IISERs have a strong collaboration with international research institutes like Max Plan. Many graduates go to DRDO, ISRO, CSIR, and R&D. Biotech companies also come here.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in every building. Labs are great. Classrooms are great. The sports ground is pretty okay not as great as I expected and the canteen is pretty fine and mess is also okay. The library is big but the books are fewer than expected that's it. Hostels are clean and good.
    Faculty: BSMS course structure is very great and promotes an interdisciplinary approach. Semester exams are tough and the course is purely for research-level students. It's not easy and the great chemistry department is best here. Other departments are also great and IISER B provides B.Tech, BS Eco as well.

    The campus is beautiful. It provides top-notch education.
    Placements: Companies avoid recruiting from campus as students leave abroad for a PhD or further higher education. Though they do get opportunities off campus. Students are highly motivated and also mostly inclined towards the research side and academia line of career.
    Infrastructure: The availability of knowledge throughout including the library is in plenty. But, the hostel rooms are very small. The canteen is okay. It provides food till late at night 1.00 PM. Mess is clean and food is hygienic.
    Faculty: Teachers are actually very qualified and knowledgeable. They are helpful indeed. The courses however do impact our learning in a way that is good for our career. Semester exams hold some challenges and we have to manage labs. Labs too have an impact on our education. The quality of education and the way it's imparted via professors is actually great.
