Hello. My daughter is highly interested in reasearch in Science, and was telling me about IISERs of India. I'd like an expert opinion on these institues. Thank you.
Dear aspirant,
IISERs were established with the aim of imparting top-class science education to budding researchers. If you are looking for a career in science, IISERs are the best place for you.
IISERs offer a five year BS-MS dual degree . Only IISER Bhopal offers BS degree not in all disciplines
You'll be exposed to all areas of science like biology, physics, maths, chemistry and interdisciplinary courses in the beginning and then you'll move to choose a major of your choice.
There are a lot of electives offered as you go high up and thus, you have the flexibility of exploring your interests and then narrowing down on it.
Students are encouraged to explore labs, researches and other internship opportunities , this will open the students mind and help them arrive at the right decisions at the right juncture.
After BS-MS, most of the students go abroad to pursue a PhD in their field of interest some proceed to get R&D positions in companies and some choose creative careers like designing and science communication .
Hope this helps.
