      Academics

      Most of our teachers are researchers and some of them are highly recognized. Almost all teachers have qualified GATE with a very good rank like AIR 1. Depending upon the subjects semester exam can be easy or hard, but there is relative marking in some of the subjects. The pass percentage is 30%, but if our CGPA is less than 6.5 then the scholarship will not be granted.

      College Infra

      National institute of science education and research which is situated in Bhubaneswar provides the degree of Homi bhabha National institute Our institute is famous for its high-level academic studies and laboratory for various experiments. There are well-maintained academic buildings, hostels, staff residents, a health center, a shopping complex, and canteens. Free Wi fi in all over the campus

      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.

      Academics

      Academics was also upto the mark. The college is quite good & courses are very diverse while matching the students requirements. Faculties are highly qualified & experienced. Course structure & outline is up-to-date with the industry requirement.

      College Infra

      The college has most of basic features as it is a national level institute. So facilities like bigger grounds for sports, clean classrooms & hostels inside the campus, library etc were present. So overall very good experience in terms of having good infrastructure.

      Placements

      So there is no placement program present in this college as of now but in future there is a scope of implementing one such program to provide or avail students better opportunities in their career. The PhD students do get better career opportunity from this college.

      Value For Money

      The fees was pretty low but with no placements, it is a bit difficult to judge the value for money parameter.
