But like everything else it has its own flaws. Many IISERs have issues with the attendance system, hostel facilities, etc. Overall if you join any IISER and have an interest in Science, you will not be disappointed.
Engineering Science at IISER Bhopal is a much newer course and it is more like B.Sc. and M.Sc. courses. It is a research-oriented course and not job-oriented like B.Tech. The course links engineering with research. You will get hands-on experience along with theoretical knowledge.
Engineering Science is offered under 3 different specializations - Chemical, Electrical, and Computer science. If you want to do research after your MS, then it is a good option.
The only hiccup is that this course is still new at IISER Bhopal and placement opportunities will be less. You may have to struggle for it as BS and MS in Engineering Sciences is not considered reliable options.
IISER Bhopal is an excellent place for education that provides students with every facility. Following is a brief about the institute:

The department of Economic Sciences at IISER Bhopal is one of the few departments in the country to offer a 4-year BS program. It is very new, thus the curriculum, placements, etc. need some time to get sorted. However, it will eventually become better.
The program integrates classroom learning with research. There are 5 professors from different fields of Economic Sciences including microeconomics, game theory, trade theory, industrial organization, public economics, social choice theory, corporate finance, option pricing, behavioral economics, agriculture economics, and environmental economics.
There is also an option to pursue BS-MS (Dual Degree) in Economic Sciences by spending an additional year. You can also earn a minor degree in other disciplines. You just have to get a minimum of 30 credits in that particular discipline.
IISER Bhopal expects only two students to share a single room. This has been in effect since the batch of 2017, due to the increasing number of students per batch.
However, as part of the expansion of IISER Bhopal in a few years, more hostels shall be built. It will also aim to utilize the overall area available to the best.
There are six hostels, 2 for Girls and 4 for Boys. Ph.D. students used to get a single room within one year, but due to the increasing number of students, they also have a single room shared by 2 students.
This completely depends on your choice and preferences. The only thing you should take into account is how the course will benefit your career ahead.
- IIEST Shibpur and IISER Bhopal offer different career paths.
- IIEST Shibpur is an engineering college and will push you most probably into a technical or corporate line.
- IISER has a completely different approach. It focuses on scientific research and you will most probably end up in academia or research-oriented jobs.
