IISER Bhopal Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

IISERB has got all the necessary infrastructure and equipment suited for better research and study purpose. Laboratories are well equipped with modern tools and equipment to give a better hands-on experience and understanding. Classrooms are modern and large to incorporate a good amount of students have a comfortable session. Sports facilities are good and almost every sport has got its place on the campus. WiFi can be found at every corner of the campus and internet bandwidth is also excellent.

I am currently studying BS in Electrical engineering and Computer science under engineering sciences. The quality of teaching is excellent and develops critical and rational thinking. It is research-oriented as well as application-focused studying. The curriculum is quite similar to other national institutes but the extra facility that makes IISERB special is the freedom to choose any department from 3rd year onwards. 1st year is basic and all of us need to study the same courses.

Engineering sciences is a fairly recent introduction in IISERB so no idea about the placements but most of the students prefer to research and pursue PhD after MS. Considering a national institute the placement cell is expected to work well.

It costs about 50K per semester for students just for the fees and mess fee is around 3K per month and the rest is your own expense. For SC/ST tuition fees is exempted which reduces their semester fee to 11K and mess fee remains the same for all people.

The campus is big and there are no restrictions for going out or coming in at any time you can roam around anywhere in the campus at any time and no one will stop you until it is very late (like 3 am).

It's large and environment friendly. You can also watch birds here. There are separate hostels for girls and boys. And also the classrooms are big and contain white boards. There is a ccd in the campus.

Maths and biology rae compulsory for first year student, so come prepared. I joined BS-MS degree for 5 years and hadn't studied maths in class 12th but here it is compulsory to study it in 1st year no matter what.

I'm still in 1st year, so I don't know much about it but as much I heard from alumni and seniors, you also need to get a phD for better placements and all. Though you can do an industrial job after completing the graduation.
