How is IISER Bhopal?

Anil Tigga
Sakshi Singh,studies at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal (2024)

IISER Bhopal is an excellent institution that provides a plethora of facilities and opportunities for students who have a keen interest in science.

The seniors at IISER Bhopal are generally cooperative, but it's important to note that instances of ragging have been reported. However, if you are firm in saying no, the seniors cannot do anything to you. It's also advisable to skip the official intro session, even if the faculties are present there, as it may not be very useful.

The academic atmosphere at IISER Bhopal is excellent, with a focus on science-based learning. The teachers here are knowledgeable about their subjects and teach well, with only a few exceptions.

The campus is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, which is available all over the campus, and LAN, except between 11 am to 2 pm when it is intentionally slowed down. The library is two-storied and has a good collection of books, although it could be improved. The computer center and library have excellent internet connectivity, and there are two brain spaces, which are rooms designed for studying, with soft mattresses. The library staff is dedicated and committed to their work, which is admirable.

The campus is well-maintained and clean, with lots of greenery, making it one of the best among IISERs.

For first-year students in natural sciences, there are compulsory courses, while in the second year, students have the option to choose pre-majors, and in the third year, they choose their major based on their CPI. It's important to keep in mind that there is a CPI cutoff for choosing majors.

There are several clubs at IISER Bhopal, providing students with ample opportunities to explore their interests and engage in extracurricular activities. The institution also offers good opportunities for sports, with separate grounds for table tennis, badminton, tennis, cricket, athletics, football, basketball, and kabaddi.

Overall, IISER Bhopal is an excellent institution for science-loving students. It's advisable to get out of your shell, explore, and make friends, keeping in mind that your CPI matters.
