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.

A developing research institute in Central India for sciences.
Placements: For students of natural sciences, the placement opportunities are quite low as compared to economics and engineering students. However, due to the presence of departments like Maths and Physics, people can get some offers if they possess relevant skills.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are excellent if you get H8 or the new hostel being built in front of Ideation. But if you get old hostels like H6 or H7, the infrastructure is not that good. The rooms were originally for single occupancy and were later converted into double occupancies, resulting in less space for you and your roommate.
Faculty: Talking about the Mathematics department of IISERB, it's quite controversial. The department has a good number of faculty members, but the quality may vary. The students opting for a Maths major are very few compared to other departments. Many students, even some good ones, face academic issues after opting for a major in Mathematics. The primary reason is some rude professors and their strict marking system. Backlog students are much more in the Maths department, making it produce fewer graduates each year than other departments.
Other: I chose the course because I am pursuing Science as my career. The best thing about the BSMS program is that students get to know the ground realities of Science, such as how things are discovered or how research is done. One might want to check the details of each faculty member they are interested in pursuing a major with. According to the specialties of the topics one wants to do a thesis in, they can either join IISERB or another institution.

IISER Bhopal - A passionate scientists dream place.
Placements: Most of the students do not choose to go for placements, and choose to continue with Ph.D. As such, there is no official placement data. But the estimated average salary package ranges from 4 LPA - 8 LPA. Generally in academics, students choose to do internships in other institutes rather than companies. There is also no such data provided, but many students do internships by talking directly to the faculty members via email.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are very great. In labs, top-grade equipments are provided. Classroom infrastructure is also very good, with spacious classrooms and speakers to hear the teacher properly. Hostels are also adequately spacious and are 2-person occupancy. Washing machines are also provided in hostels.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified, all holding at least a Ph.D. post doctorate from internationally reputed universities. They are easy to approach and friendly. Teaching quality is good. Course curriculum is very relevant, and an example of this is that the final year has no coursework, only a masters thesis to adapt students better to current science breakthroughs, and possibly also industry-relevant according to their thesis area. Semester exams are generally moderate-easy in difficult, but sometimes they are a bit difficult. Most students pass the courses, and it is easy to pass at the very least with regular daily study.
Other: I chose this course as I am especially passionate about chemistry and found out this is one of the best institutes to do higher studies in chemistry. The best thing about the course is that it is very relevant to international standards. What I would like to improve about the course is for students to have more flexibility in choosing their first-year courses. The crowd here is very great if you are interested in science. There is no ragging done, and seniors are very friendly towards the juniors.

IISER Bhopal: A sweet and nice campus.
Placements: Here, there are no placements. People are more interested in Ph.D. They take the recommendation and go abroad to pursue a Ph.D. Some of them started to apply to various companies to have a good salary and to maintain a work-life balance.
Infrastructure: Here, we have all facilities. After the Ph.D, single rooms are allotted. For one person, there is a bed, cupboard, and study table. Our library is very nice and peaceful. All types of books are kept there. The seating arrangement is also nice.
Faculty: All teachers are very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. The course is designed with proficiency. Each semester, there is a mid-semester and end-semester. It depends on teachers. There are no quizzes. Exams are moderately difficult.

Really good faculty members, improving infrastructure and more opportunities to research.
Placements: IISER Bhopal is more or less a college that focuses more on research than placements. Placements are very few—nearly less than 10 percent. Since IISER Bhopal is the only IISER offering an engineering degree, a few of them opt for placements, and a very few from natural science go for placements. Others normally choose a Ph.D. and continue with postdoctoral work and research. I guess the packages are often within 30 LPA or more. I am not sure about the minimum offered. As research is one of the most underpaid careers, it's worth noting that annual packages are comparatively low. Almost 90 percent of students get a chance to intern, either paid or unpaid. I am a BSc in Earth and Environment Sciences, which has more opportunities for research as well as jobs abroad or at the at the national level. But some technical skills and programming languages are essential. I'll pass out in 2026, currently in my fourth year.
Infrastructure: We have free Wi-Fi everywhere. With great speed and good connectivity. The classrooms and departments are air-conditioned. We have a library but it cannot hold the total capacity of the students on the campus right now. But except during exam season, not that much rush is experienced. We rely more on online books and pdfs because very few copies of the originals are available. Rooms are double-shared. In the old hostels, rooms were small and built for single sharing but due to increased intake, we do share rooms. Washrooms are regularly cleaned and neat, except for some incidents of students not maintaining them. Food in some messes is great for the PHDs, but in others it is just eatable or average. But it varies according to the person. We do have vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Games and sports facilities are good and improving. We have good coaches and trainers.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. Teaching quality is good in our department. Labs and TAs are also really good. The curriculum is mostly theoretical; we have to learn skills and programming in addition to being industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult because we do learn a lot in a 4-month semester. Pasa percent varies greatly according to professor and subject but there is a norm that only less than or equal to 30% of students fail. But there are instances where more than this number of students failed. Not everyone will pass; we have to work hard for it according to the relatively toughness of the course. Grading may be abstract or relatively simple. It is all up to the professor, including grading.
Other: I wanted to learn about Atmospheric and Climate Sciences in future so I chose EES as my major. The best things are great professors, good field trips, and the best basic theoretical and practical courses. If more skill- and programming-related things are involved, it would be better. We have an annual cultural festival, Enthuzia, the biggest in the college. Annual sports meet Sangarsh, annual arts and literary fest Called Arts and letters, Science fest Singularity and other cultural festivals of each state. Connectivity is bit difficult as a college is far from town. Scholarships are available like Inspire, etc. But nothing is provided by IISERs other than for SC / St category, where they don't pay tuition fee. There are some grant for students with greater academic background and CGPA. Sports, music club arts club and clubs of each department conduct extracurricular activities .
