National Institute of Science Education and Research review.

Placements: There are no placements inside the college as many students want to do Ph.D. instead of getting placed after M.Sc. The university tries to bring in placements, but only 9 students show interest among 100 students. NISER is not for placements. Almost everyone who tries to get an internship gets it. Every student prefers Ph.D., so there are no top roles offered for students in our college. BARC takes M.Sc. students directly from our college, because our college is associated with BARC.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are hi-tech, ranging from 50 to 300 seating capacity, with projectors and smart boards. There are no Wi-Fi problems because each class has a separate router, which is sufficient to provide Wi-Fi for all. The library is advanced with systems and self check-in and check-out kiosks, with centralized AC all over the library and classrooms. Sports facilities are also good and in very good condition. The hostel provides different varieties of food with a good menu; the hostel is also good.

Faculty: The teachers are very well qualified, they do research here and teach as part-time. We have classes only for about 4 hours a day. Their teaching is engaging and fun. These courses are very relevant for the upcoming years. Math's is a bit tough compared to other subjects, but it is manageable. The pass CGPA to get the monthly stipend is 6 CGPA. Fests cost about 16,000 + tax for the college, including hostel and mess, which is about 23,000 per semester.

Other: It is a good place if you want to do research and pursue a career in science. Fests cost 4 Lacs for 5 years.

The college has good infrastructure.

Placements: There is a need for improvement in the administration of the University and the timing of the classes being conducted. Most of the students got placements in the placement cell organized by the college, and mostly junior students get internships through it.

Infrastructure: The connectivity is very good, and the labs of our computer lab are great because there is new software installed, and the recent edition of PCs are running on it. The fastest processors are available in the laptops. The food quality in the canteen is good, but there is no South Indian food.

Faculty: Teachers are not studying daily, and they are teaching us for only 30 minutes in a lecture. Teachers teach us with the help of smart boards, and sometimes they teach us by using PPT presentations and other materials. If you are fully present in the classroom, then you don't face any problems in exams.

Other: Events are conducted by the college throughout the year, and all are good.

NISER Bhubaneswar for M.Sc. course admission.

Placements: This college has the best placement facilities available, but it is not for everyone because there is a condition for participating in the placement required, 50% marks are compulsory in your final exam. The salary offered ranges from 2 LPA to 5 LPA, but these companies do not offer any roles to students.

Infrastructure: This college has good hostel facilities, and they are similar to facilities in the college departments. These facilities like classrooms, hostel rooms, bathrooms, labs, fast Wi-Fi, elevators, etc. Sports and game facilities are also available every year.

Faculty: This college faculty members are very strict, but teachers are very intelligent and have good behavior towards students. Teachers in this college are Ph.D. scholars and provide good teaching knowledge of the subject. The course curriculum is relevant, and the passing marks score is not difficult.

NISER looks good from the outside but disappoints from the inside.

Placements: Mostly, students go for a PhD and not for placements. The lowest package ranges from 6-7 LPA. The highest package ranges from 20-30 LPA. Almost 90% of students get internships here. If we want to get a job, then we can go into various industries, but a PhD is recommended, and after that, we will get more job opportunities.

Infrastructure: Top-class facilities are available. It also provides world-class labs. Wi-Fi is available with a speed of 10-15 Mbps. In the hostel, LAN is available with a speed of 350-400 Mbps. Mess food is the worst here. Medical facilities are given. Almost all sports are available with the best cricket ground.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is good. The only problem here is with Maths subjects as teachers tend to fail us so we have to give our 100% to just barely pass. Semester exams are very difficult, and quizzes are taken regularly. The pass percentage is around 60-70%.

Other: There are no major events here. I honestly feel food should be improved and Maths can be made easier for 1st year students.

Really good campus for enjoying life with freedom from anyone.

Placements: No direct placements offered by any company, but most of the time, students go for higher studies in other institutions or private companies internationally. So, students looking for placements should search for a job personally after college.

Infrastructure: Good, everything is very good. Wi-Fi speed goes to the moon in a few minutes, but fluctuates sometimes. It's okay, no data limit, infinite data. Labs are good, international-level university. Hostel is good, but the single room is small for one person. The two-person room is good with space available.

Faculty: Good, very intelligent professors. All international scientists attend conferences every year around the world. Teaching quality is top class, and the curriculum is strong for building good scientists for the future of the human race and ethical purposes.

Good infrastructure and research support.

Placements: Most of them are pursuing a PhD in prestigious universities in India or abroad. There is not a placement cell as such, but I am pursuing my PhD in Canada with an annual stipend of INR 15 Lakh per annum. For my department (chemistry), it was mainly Macleod Pharmaceuticals.

Infrastructure: Everything that a private college can provide, NISER provided. They have a huge funding from the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. The hostel was way above par with regard to government institutes. The food is also very good, and there are a lot of options for every type of diet.

Faculty: Some of them are the most prominent scientists in their fields. Maybe due to that, the lower-level courses are hard to teach for them, but for research purposes, this institute is one of the top in the country. The course closely follows UGC guidelines, but the Institute make tweeks where necessary and beneficial for the students.

Other: Every Integrated MSc student gets 5000 INR per month as a scholarship and another 20000 INR for summer or winter internships done in NISER or other institutes in India.
