Overall, the best college for Ph.D. in Mathematics courses.

Placements: Placements on campus were good in 2023, but as it's a research institute, it's bad beyond that, and most students move on to pursue higher degrees instead of jobs. However, the highest salary package offered is 23 LPA, while the lowest salary package offered is 18 LPA. Companies like Morgan Stanley, IBM, Microsoft, and others visit here to hire. Top positions include science writers and quantitative analysts. A lot of students secured internships.

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.

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
