Good infrastructure and research support.
Placements: Most of them are pursuing a PhD in prestigious universities in India or abroad. There is not a placement cell as such, but I am pursuing my PhD in Canada with an annual stipend of INR 15 Lakh per annum. For my department (chemistry), it was mainly Macleod Pharmaceuticals.
Infrastructure: Everything that a private college can provide, NISER provided. They have a huge funding from the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. The hostel was way above par with regard to government institutes. The food is also very good, and there are a lot of options for every type of diet.
Faculty: Some of them are the most prominent scientists in their fields. Maybe due to that, the lower-level courses are hard to teach for them, but for research purposes, this institute is one of the top in the country. The course closely follows UGC guidelines, but the Institute make tweeks where necessary and beneficial for the students.
Other: Every Integrated MSc student gets 5000 INR per month as a scholarship and another 20000 INR for summer or winter internships done in NISER or other institutes in India.

It is a really good campus to be part of and has a great community.
Placements: No direct placements are offered by any company, but most of the students choose to study after the course. Good recommendations from high-level faculty give you chances for internships and Ph.D. positions at top international universities and labs around the world.
Infrastructure: Labs and classrooms are very good, with air conditioning in every department. The library is very big, with lots of books available offline; an online library is also available. The hostel canteen food is not that good in quality, but there are options like veg curry, paneer curry, and non-veg curries such as chicken curry, egg curry, and fish curry available daily.
Faculty: Teachers and faculty here are highly educated and professional. Many of them have great respect in their fields and are internationally known for research and collaborative work with top facilities around the globe. Courses are easy to pass but not easy to score good grades; you have to work hard.

Very good college with very negligible fees. Good faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: There are no direct placements in our college. Students usually have to apply for jobs or PhD on their own. Most of the people pursue PhD after this course, but many also try for different competitive exams. For internships, it's the same: students have to apply by themselves and get internships at different institutes here or abroad, or in any company. Top roles like JRF, SRF, PhD Fellow, are some of the most common.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very well-facilitated, but if you compare it with other national institutes like IITs and similar colleges, you may find the infrastructure less appreciable, apart from labs and classrooms. The library is the best part of this institute. The hostel is good, apart from some maintenance issues. The food is average to below average. Medical facilities are good. Sports and games facilities are average but are improving slowly.
Faculty: Teachers are very good, apart from some (like in any other institute). The teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is more focused on research and makes students ready for research. Exams are medium-difficult, and if you at least study some of the syllabus and attend classes regularly, you can pass easily. Passing is usually 30/100, but it could be changed by your professor.
Other: I chose this because I wanted to become a scientist. The best thing is they teach with respect to research, not just what has already been discovered, but also how it was done, what experiments were performed, with the whole history, at least in biology they teach like this. Some of the core courses are too difficult or not relevant for some students. 5k/month is given to all the students, but if a student has any backlog or CGPA falls below 6, then the student is terminated. The student could continue if these criteria are met. Fests are below average, and not much funding is given for fests. The campus is located in a town that is not much developed. If you have to do some work, you have to travel to Bhubaneswar (BBSR), which is approximately 20-25 km from the campus.

One of the best colleges for pursuing Ph.D. courses.
Placements: NISER offers the best quality learning and placement opportunities to its students. At this college, around 60-70% of the students get placed. The average package offered was between 8-12 LPA. Various national and multinational research companies visit the college for placements. Top roles offered were researchers, research fellows, etc.
Infrastructure: NISER has a very well-maintained and developed infrastructure for Ph.D. courses. The college has a big campus with all the necessary facilities. The management of the college is supportive to the students and properly maintains all the facilities. Labs, library, canteen, Wi-Fi, big classrooms, hostel, sports, etc. facilities are given to the students. Hostel rooms are furnished, and the food of the mess is good to eat.
Faculty: The faculty of the college is highly qualified and knowledgeable. All the teachers are experienced in the field of teaching. Teachers help and support students in their research works. Professors organize various industry visits and extra lectures for student development. The course curriculum is relevant and also makes the students industry-ready. Exams at the college are hard to pass.

NISER: a research institute of India.
Placements: NISER is not a placement-oriented institute; basically, the course is structured focusing on a research career. Although some students get jobs in some research and development companies, very few students get the privilege to directly apply for the interview of scientific officer in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.
Infrastructure: The course structure is well-designed. Unlimited high-speed free Wi-Fi, high-quality scientific labs, digital classrooms, a library enriched with Indian and foreign books are available in this institute. Hostels are well-equipped, and foods available in the canteen are delicious and hygienic.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, and they are eminent professors holding Ph.D. and post-doc positions. The course curriculum is to make students self-sufficient researchers. Semester exams are quite difficult to get good marks. The course curriculum is extensive, and the duration is 5 years.
Other: Every student gets a scholarship in this course. They either get the DISHA scholarship from the atomic energy department or the DST INSPIRE Scholarship.

Really good campus for enjoying life with freedom from anyone.
Placements: No direct placements offered by any company, but most of the time, students go for higher studies in other institutions or private companies internationally. So, students looking for placements should search for a job personally after college.
Infrastructure: Good, everything is very good. Wi-Fi speed goes to the moon in a few minutes, but fluctuates sometimes. It's okay, no data limit, infinite data. Labs are good, international-level university. Hostel is good, but the single room is small for one person. The two-person room is good with space available.
Faculty: Good, very intelligent professors. All international scientists attend conferences every year around the world. Teaching quality is top class, and the curriculum is strong for building good scientists for the future of the human race and ethical purposes.
