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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
