A perfect place to build a base for your research career.

Placements: As this is a research institute, IISER Bhopal does not have a significant number of students getting placed into companies from natural sciences. However, there is a good number of Ph.D. placements made from here. Even though students here have taken for granted their place in the industry due to the Indian Institute tag. A significant number of students go to different fields even unrelated to science. But there are not much of many engineering equivalent placements and that is pretty obvious a...

Student review - IISER Bhopal.

Placements: IISER Bhopal has a placement cell, but the campus placement is not very satisfactory. Most students are research-oriented and end up taking Ph.D. positions, which leaves corporate offers. The highest package was 28 LPA, and the average package is about 8 LPA. Major companies include Barclays, SBI Nomura, and Dr. Reddy's Lab.

IISER is your key to the research field.

Placements: The placement rate at IISER Bhopal is not much. Because IISER is made for students who are interested in research, and most of the students go for higher studies like a Ph.D. and MBA. Maybe 10% of students got jobs. Most jobs are available for students who are pursuing a BS in engineering sciences. 10 LPA is the average salary. Internships are mostly research-based with very little stipend.

Great if you're into research and further studies. Campus is beautiful and facilities are good.

Placements: IISER Bhopal is a research-based college, although it also offers BS in engineering and eco-sciences, so placements here are pretty less than a proper engineering college. But some have gotten placements in Barclays, Deloitte, Dr Reddy's, Toppers, Google, etc. But most people pursue higher studies here than going for placements.

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.

IISER Bhopal: Where it's going?

Placements: IISER Bhopal is a research institute where students pursuing a BS-MS in the Natural Science stream are generally more interested in continuing research rather than taking placements. Over 95% of students secure internships, often at IITs, IISERs, and other research institutes. I am not familiar with the specifics of recruiting companies and placements from IISER Bhopal.

Review of BS in economics from the IISER Bhopal.

Placements: IISER Bhopal offers good placements and internship opportunities to its students. Around 40–45% of the students get placed at this college. The average package offered at the college was between 3 and 7 LPAs. Various research and development companies visit our college for placements. Students also get internships at this college.

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 m...

If you are looking for a job then I would not recommend this college.

Placements: Few students got placed in our course. This college is meant to make you a scientist not to train you for corporate life. You can find jobs in CSIR and other laboratories after completing this degree. Many students opted for higher studies in this college.

Review of IISER Bhopal and its various facilities from research to hostels.

Placements: Companies like NOMURA, ZD, and Deloitte offered placements here. The salary package ranged from 10 lakhs to 30 lakhs. A significant number of students get placed which is around 5 percent of the total students. Almost every student gets internship from these courses in various elite institutes and reputed companies like IBM.

It has great facilities and infrastructure.

Placements: The first thing you need to understand is that this is a college set up by the government for research, particularly at the UG level. Now college is focusing on PG research for the past many years. Therefore most of the students after completing their MS or Ph.D. go for higher studies. So very few students are interested in campus placements but thanks to BS engineering. and economics courses, those guys opt for jobs more than BSMS students, thus few well-reputed companies now know IISER Bhopal ...

A good college if you want to be a researcher and ready to study hard.

Placements: Depends on the students. If they want to be placed then they have to contact the placement cell ICDPC office in their 5th year. They hardly get any placement even if they get, they are hired for quite a decent package sufficient to sustain family, Hope this could improve in the coming years. Most of them opt for Ph.D. rather than Job.

The college provides great infrastructure, faculty, and research opportunities, but poor placements.

Placements: In 2019, the first batch of BS-MS in EES will graduate. Hence placement data from this department is not available. However, with the recent initiation of the placement cell led by an active team of students with cooperation from the administration has started making efforts towards inviting companies for placements and creating opportunities.

A review of Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal.

Placements: In IISER Bhopal we don't have good placement opportunities. However, it will take some more years to provide placements because the college has just completed its 10 years. Last year, out of 30 students of our senior batch, 3 students got placed in a private laboratory as a scientist. The average salary package offered was around Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 60,000 per month. Every year, minimum 100 UG to PG students and 50 PhD students get summer and winter internships from all departments like physics, c...

Really good infrastructure and faculty members who are helpful .

Placements: Most of them opt for higher studies here or abroad. Rest are recruited in pharmaceutical companies etc. The course is interdisciplinary where you choose a major in the third year and graduate with that subject of your choice. This is why not many placements happen here but those who do get a job happens to bag a package which varies.

Review of IISER Bhopal - Indian Institute of Science Education and Research.

Placements: Most of the students like to study further. They do PhD abroad. This is a research institute. Hence most of the students like to do PhD. No one finds a job after just completing this course. Then after PhD, they prefer to be a professor, researcher or a lecturer. Every student does an internship during their academic year to help the professor in their research work.
