IISER is an autonomous institution awarding its own Masters and Doctoral degrees. Students are encouraged to carry out research projects during the vacation periods in the first four years of their Masters programme in various research institutes outside IISER.

IISER model of education is concept-based and inquiry-driven, as opposed to the more traditional content-based models. There is a strong emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of today’s science, and recognition of the importance of research experience.

IISER offers many courses including 5 Year BS-MS programme in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and inter-disciplinary areas, Integrated Ph.D. Programme, Ph.D. Programme, Post Doctoral programme and summer visiting students programme. The institution also offers facilities for doing research in these areas.

Hope this helps!!!
