Sakshi Singh,

This mainly depends on the student and where he or she is from. As the location is the major factor. Both the colleges are more or less the same, choose the one that fulfills your requirements.

Bhopal might not be a very fancy place like Chandigarh. But this shouldn't influence your choice.
IISER Mohali is known for its biology department while IISER Bhopal has an extremely good chemistry department.
Their labs are well maintained and have every facility required by the students.
Hostel rooms at IISER Bhopal are a bit small as it was built for one person per room but later the intake became 2 students per room.
Hostels are Co-ed in IISER Mohali with bigger rooms and balconies. IISER Bhopal has separate hostels for boys and girls.
There are around 16 clubs in IISER Mohali, fewer than IISER Bhopal.

Both the colleges are more or less similar when considering academics and infrastructure. Therefore choosing any of them will be good for your career.

Is IISER Bhopal a good choice for sciences?

Niti Bose,

09 Nov 21

One of my friends studied at IISER Bhopal, he had a science background as well. According to him, it is his best decision in life. He, being a student there, mentioned that it is really good for sciences.

Every IISER has proper research facilities.
The faculty members are involved in active research. They are very encouraging and helpful.
IISER Bhopal has a sprawling 200–250 acre campus which is beautiful and well maintained.
There are different clubs to nurture your interests.
Students secure internship opportunities right after the first semester.

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.

How is the engineering sciences department at IISER Bhopal?

Rukmini Mitra,

09 Nov 21

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.

Is the infrastructure at IISER Bhopal as good as that at IISER Pune?

Jagriti Tiwari,

09 Nov 21

IISERs get generous funding as they come directly under the MHRD of the central Government. Both IISER Bhopal and IISER Pune have state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities.

The labs, lecture halls, academic buildings, hostels, etc. are present at both the institutes.
IISER Bhopal has the largest campus among all IISERs.
It also has one of the finest sports facilities available in a science institute, both indoor and outdoor. These include football, tennis, basketball, badminton, chess, table tennis, etc.
Community centers and Visitor’ hostels are also available.
The whole campus is wifi enabled.
It is a self-sufficient campus with facilities like a shopping centre, health centre, bank, etc. all present on the campus itself.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to compare the IISERs as they all have their unique features.
