IISER – INDIAN INSTITUTE of SCIENCE and EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
IISER is an autonomous institution awarding its own Masters and Doctoral degrees.
The Government of India, has established five Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER). These institutes are located in
- Bhopal
- Kolkata
- Mohali
- Pune
- Thiruvananthapuram
Of the five IISERs, Pune and Kolkata started their academic activities in 2006 and Mohali in 2007. Two more IISERs, in Bhopal and Thiruvananthapuram, began their sessions in August, 2008.
MY VIEWS ON THIS INSTITUTE :-
These institutes now do have a recognition due to their attachment with IITJEE. Their admission procedure is through IITJEE. Although they also take direct admission of students who qualify KVPY( Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojna). Its quite a simple process. If you have qualfied the KVPY anytume before then you can opt for any branch in this institute.
Others have to qualify in the IITJEE merit list or atleast the Extended merit list to even qualify for it.
Impression of this institute is good, i.e it has got good recognition but still students dont opt for it as it offers only M.S degree in various branches. BUT if you are interested in research line this is your institute.
Let me tell all you students that this institute has a great future and you will benefit a lot if have enrolled here. And dont think about placements. This is an enterprise of the Government of India, so you need not to worry about placements. Placements will be better than 90 % of colleges out there. This institute will become a phenomenon like IIT in the years to come. This is my Guarantee.
OVERALLÂ RATING:-
Respected Administrator / Official,
I have applied for MS in IISER and my counselling due on 18th July at TVM (thru Direct – Kerala Board Exam Marks).
Biology and Chemistry are my subjects.
But really I am excited about the aptitude test of 90 minutes as I was never thru your model exam questions yet.
DO you have any advice to the effect.
CUSAT ENGG RANK 6K & ALL KERALA MEDICAL 6K.
Thanks for the attention and I do wait for your advice.
Best Regards / Jery
All the comments are really good, The course is really good, the thuoughts are good, but but I am not clear where is the future and in what area are the jobs available in the country(please dont say forget about the jobs, wanted to do this course for because of good carrier) Parents are worry about their future and kids wanted to go for this course, if any body can reply – please let all know what are all the jobs available in future if we go for IISCR (dual degree),
Thanks

Hi, I am back again. I have decided to join IISER mohali. And I have also got an admission there via jee stream. I visited the campus and I found the labs and faculty quite impressive. My counselor at iiser mohali did his post doctoral research in MIT,usa. You can find such people without any effort in IISERs.
My current views:
Just want to tell everybody here that career building totally depends on you. Most students going to engineering colleges leave engineering and enter management or finance sector. Under Graduation should not be considered as choosing your profession completely.What I believe is that you should take academics and faculty quite seriously. From a place like IISER you can atleast be assured of a good Academic placement for further MS specialization of for PhDs. I dont think there is any alternative to studies in any field you choose. Even if you are in IITs you ll plan for something after it too coz a package of 7-8 lacs wont keep you happy forever. At IISER where students are doing there internships in foreign universities like Frankfurt, Caltech etc. and in indian places like CMI,ISI, TIFR etc. you can be assured of a solid building of an impressive CV at least which means a lot! (AFAIK) and also of good intellectual development.. u can think urself this how much more developed u were when u prepared for jee .. now at IISERs u ll be straining ur brain with sciences and that too research oriented and with world class faculty (at least best in india) you grow a lot intellectually.
Another good thing at IISER is which u ll find now where else is Inter disciplinary Rsearch. That is you dont need to stick with 1 science subject. At IISERs you can study Physics along with chemistry (or any other) and even combination like Maths and biology are also possible or more subjects can be included if you desire for. So you are not just going for 1 science subject You ll be unifying the entire Science at IISERs.
About me: I am interested in studying theoretical physics, mathematics and programming. I like analyzing things like converting a given physical situation into a mathematically solvable condition .. in creating programs to solve more complex situations.. so you can say a bit oriented towards applied maths too. I dont think there is any place better than IISERs for studying science. The atmosphere there is wonderful (at least in mohali).
Now about what will u do later in life?
I know about maths.. mathematicians are in demand everywhere. You can easily jot out good stuff on ur CV at IISER which will be a good proof for you to show ur aptitude in mathematics. Publish some papers do some research. Be a part of some good projects with your field. You can get good recommendations too from here. The contacts of the profs can work for you in getting admissions in some good foreign uni probably the Ivy leagues. Do your specialization there. Then earning money wont be a problem at all.
And also its not just about earning money.. It is also about having fun.. if you enjoy science this is your place.
Sir,
I applied for IISER through direct admissions[as there was no merit list],i just know one thing that pure physics can be learnt here,i am interested in physics too.

Hi Ashutosh,
My rank in IIT JEE’10 is 8.2k and 9.5k in aieee’10. I am interested in subjects like genetics, pure physics, mathematics and computing.
And somewhere i feel .. IISER is the right choice for me… as there I will get to study all these. But I am not sure where these interests of mine will take me to. I have never thought in my life about doing something in research.. so I am a bit confused about whether I should opt for it .. or try some nit in aieee.
How r the prospects of research in india? And will I be able to enter back in the mainstream market ever if I do MS course dere? I have heard that many IITians doing MS course get jobs in IT companies or in Finance sector and even in good banks like.. but they are IITs.. will it be right to think the same for IISER? I mean .. Will my MS program at IISER .. written in my CV along with some research work.. be able to compete with those doing B.Tech at NITs for the above mentioned field.. in case i lose interest in research later..
Please guide me..
@akhand
IISER is good if you want to do pure physics….don’t worry about the job just now….go and study your fav branch….then explore new opportunities…..
