Hello!

NISERs are not generally placement-oriented colleges. They prefer to give good quality education to the students. The course is structured focusing on a research career. 

However, the placements for last year were good the highest package offered was INR 15 LPA and the average package was INR 8 LPA. Almost 80% of the batch got placed. Some of top recruiters were TCS, Infosys, Defense Research and Development Organization, Indian Space Research Organization, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Labs, etc.

I hope it will help. You can reach out to us for further queries.

Thank You.
