The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India established Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) across India in seven cities. Functioning as autonomous institutes, each IISER offers a multitude of unique interdisciplinary courses that combine academic fields of science with research programs. For the five-year BS-MS Dual Degree program, you are required to stay in the campus hostel, which also has mess facilities and sports and recreational activities. Scholarships are available, and internships may be offered for an ongoing research project.
There are two major benefits of pursuing a program at IISERs. Firstly, you are not confined to just one discipline but are pursuing a curriculum that combines varied disciplines so it broadens your knowledge and expertise. Secondly, all the institutes have highly qualified and experienced faculty who have worked on or are in the process of working on, exciting research projects. Hence, if the research area has always been your forte and goal beyond mere classroom learning, you already have a great head-start.
