IISER Bhopal BS EECS Review .

Placements: Very few students get placed because most of the students go for either higher studies abroad or in India. The highest package was around 31 Lacs per annum and the average stood around 19 LPA. The top recruiting companies were Nomura Bank, Barclays, and Dr. Reddy's Lab. Most of the roles offered are kind of analyst or scientific roles.

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...

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.

True review of IISER Bhopal

Placements: My batch strength is about 400+. Most of the students don't opt for placements. We mainly go for PhDs, but people from the engineering department go for placements. The average placement package is about 10 LPA. The highest package was 27 LPA in 2022.

A very brief introduction to the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal.

Placements: A new placement cell has been established recently. I am from a natural sciences background, so I don't know much about the placements for engineering students at IISER Bhopal. Mostly, they go for PhDs and other paths instead of placements.

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...

As many colleges require it for undergraduate programs, you can apply for admission based only on your CUET score. If you don't meet the CUET requirements, though, some schools offer management quota seats, which might let you in based on your performance on the entrance exam or your Class 12 grades
