Hello there!

Yes! A Phd from a foreign university is possible after one completes his or her post graduation from a good university.

If one does post graduation from a iiser and other government colleges with good grades, one might get good scholarships as well.

Generally, one can take direct admission in the college or university in the desired Phd course.

Kindly go through the college brochures in the eligibility section before applying.

Good Luck!




Hello,

The Indian Institute of Science, or IISc, was founded in 1909 and designated as a deemed university in 1958. However, the undergraduate programme (Bachelor's degree) began in 2011. The first IISER, on the other hand, did not appear until 2006. All of these institutes have the goal of promoting advanced scientific and technical research and education in India (as stated on the website).

Now, if the criterion is any national rankings list, IISc is at the top of it or at least ranks higher than IISER, Pune, which is generally the top IISER. To begin with, don't ask me how Engineering and Science institutes are included together in a single survey and list; I, too, am looking for solutions to such issues. Second, IISc is a well-known and respected institution.

IISc has a large alumni base, with many people achieving great success in their chosen professions. Because IISERs are younger institutes, their alumni networks aren't as strong as the IISc's, but they're not awful either. And believe me when I say that this scenario for the IISERs is set to alter dramatically in the next years.

To summarise, IISc is undoubtedly the finest, but IISERs are also excellent. If you want to pursue a career in research, any of these institutes will provide you with a solid foundation. I hope this information is useful.

All the best!!

Hello,


The exam conducting authorities will be conducting IISER 2021 admission through three channels - JEE, SCB and KVPY. IISER aptitude test 2021 will be conducted for admission through SCB channel while KVPY and JEE Advanced qualified applicants will not be required to appear for the exam.
Yes, you can appear in both the exams and make no mistake this won't be easy. I wish you all the best that you crack both the exams but the competition is very high and your preparation should he top notch if you want to get selected. Also if you consider going through JEE advance channel then i would like to add that you need to get a rank underst 10k to get admission in IISERs.

I hope this helps.

Hi Disha!

IISER- Indian Institute of Science Education and Research is better than VIT Vellore as VIT is a private institute and IISER is a reputed government college.  IISER will be more beneficial if you want to pusue pure science and research.  If you plan to do masters then too the IISER tag will help you.  But if you wish to do engineering course sch as Btech in CSE or IT then you must join VIT Vellore as its placement records are incredible.

Hope I answered your query, thankyou!

Hello STudent

Every  above average institute for JEE mains  and JEE advanced and for Neet will be sufficient for the preparation for admission of Indian Institute of Science education and research courses and National Institute of Science education and research courses.

Gate 10 years back previous question papers of JEE mains and practices thoroughly a NEET for (bio) . Practice only mainly JEE mains question papers and 41 years books from different publishers and last year's IAT papers if available. This will be sufficient for your preparation to take admission in IISER and Niser courses.

Hope this helps.

Hey,


IISERs consider KVPY and JEE score, but not NEET. IISER also gives admission to students on the basis of its own aptitude test for science stream students who pass class 12 with marks equal or above the cut off percentage. If your concepts are strong, then it will be easy for you to clear the IISER aptitude test.

You can also take admission in IISER through SCB Channel (Percentage in State and Central Boards). Students who are appearing or have passed (10+2) level with science stream with marks equal or above the cut off percentage in their respective boards are eligible to apply.

Students applying through SCB channel will have to appear in the IAT (IISER Aptitude Test) which will be conducted at various centres across the country.

If you are interested to do research in basic sciences, then obviously IISERs are the best option in India. IISERs were made for the purpose of doing research after all the IITs(except one or two) failed in doing good research in basic sciences. IISERS are doing a great jobs so far it's inception. If you see the latest Nature index ranking 2020, IISERs have done well than most of the IITs. IISER Kolkata, Pune, Bhopal all there in the top 10 institutions in India in Nature index ranking 2020, with IISER Kolkata leading them all at Number 5.

Academia (Research): After doing a PhD, post your BS-MS course, you can join any CSIR labs or University or research lab as a staff scientist or principal investigator. Academia (Teaching): The IISER graduates can take up a teaching job in any school/University after qualifying the requisite exams like UPSC.


I hope this helps

Hey,

B.SC Microbiology has its own scope in itself. If you did not make into IISERs, it does not mean that there is no other good colleges which offers exposure in this  are. IISER is definitely a good choice, but, you also need to not that, not all students that study in IISER get successful, and also, not all students that are not a part of IISER, are unsuccessful. It will all depend, how much knowledge, clarity you got in your subjects after studying the course.
