IISER Berhampur Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: The teachers are awesome and know their stuff. They're nice and like to chat with students. The education here is top-notch and all the courses are right on track with the program. The semesters can be challenging, but it's all about how well you grasp the material. Getting good grades is doable since it's all based on how everyone in the class is doing.

Placement: At this Science research institute, students usually go abroad or to other higher institutions for their PhD and post-doc degrees before looking for a job. After getting a BSMS degree here, there aren't any job placements available. Campus placement isn't a thing either. But those who do their PhD and post-doc end up becoming research scientists or professors at good institutions.

Campus: The college has a great library, Wi-Fi, computer labs, and Science labs for students. The hostels are comfy and have first aid kits. They serve three meals a day, but we need to get snacks from the canteen. There's a medical block on campus and a hospital nearby for emergencies. We have cultural and sports events every year that everyone loves.

Admission: The teachers here are mostly nice and good at teaching, except for a couple of them. Exams in the semester aren't too hard. If you go to classes and study seriously, you'll pass without a problem. The questions stick to what's taught in class. Grading is fair most of the time, but sometimes it's a bit unclear, depending on the teacher. But, don't stress about grades too much. Just focus on studying, and you'll do fine. Just trust the teacher with the grades.

Placement: IISER isn't the place for placements. It's more about preparing you for research, especially a Ph.D. Some students might go into teaching. Chemistry students could aim for pharma jobs, but that's on them, not the college. Don't expect great job placements at IISER. If you work hard, you could end up in a solid Ph.D. program.

Campus: The college's infrastructure is decent, not the best but works fine. The hostel rooms are really nice, most of them are singles. The labs are good, but we don't have a permanent campus yet. We have to travel 25 km to a transit campus for labs until next semester. Recently, we've been having a lot of Wi-Fi problems, hopefully they'll fix it soon. The library needs more books for sure. Classes are held in different places like the dining hall, guest house, and health center until the academic block is ready in future semesters. The temporary places are nice though. Food quality has been going downhill, but they promised to change the mess contractor soon. Hopefully, it'll improve. There are sports facilities both inside and outside the hostel. Inside, we have a gym, basketball and badminton courts. Outside, there's football and tennis. They're also building a cricket stadium.

Admission: I really like IISER because the teachers here are top-notch. It's a really important college in India. The classes and teaching are amazing. The exams are just right, not too hard or too easy. Most students pass with flying colors. We all got in through a tough national exam. The teachers are super smart.

Placement: IISERs are all about excellence, not just placements. But some students do go for placements. Big companies like Google, Microsoft, and Adobe come for placements, along with research companies. Around half of students land internships in research centers, universities, and other companies.

Campus: IISER Berhampur has top-notch infrastructure. They've got everything you need fast Wi-Fi, a library stocked with all the books you'll ever need, and access to loads of journals online and offline. The food in the mess is amazing, and they've got great medical facilities, sports, and games too. Each hostel has a basketball court, and there are indoor games available as well.
