Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) are a group of prestigious autonomous institutions established by the Government of India through the Ministry of Education for teaching and research in natural science and to provide collegiate education in basic sciences integrated with research at the undergraduate level.
The institutes were formally established by the Parliament of India through the Science Education and Research (Amendment) Act, 2010. Seven IISERs have been established across the country, namely IISER Pune in Maharashtra, IISER Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, IISER Mohali in Punjab, IISER Kolkata in West Bengal, IISER Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, IISER Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, and IISER Berhampur in Odisha. [2] All IISERs were declared as Institutes of National Importance by the Parliament of India in 2012, [3] to promote them as leading institutions in the country in the field of basic sciences along with institutes like Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. The financial outlay for each IISER is around ₹500 crore (US$60 million) for the first five years of establishment.
The IISERs are located in the following locations in India:

All the 7 IISERS providing 5-year BS-MS programs inBiological, Chemical, Mathematical, Geological , Physical and Earth, climate, Environmental Sciences, as well as Computer Programming and Humanities course,MSc, MS(Research) , Integrated PhD , Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Post Doctoral Research Programs.
Note: 4-year BS degree in Engineering Sciences (Chemical Engineering, Data Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science) and Economic Sciences only provided at IISER Bhopal
For 5-year BS-MS programs, In the first year, all students are introduced to basic sciences, viz., Biological, Chemical, Mathematical, Physical and Earth Sciences, as well as Computer Programming and Humanities courses. In the second year, the students select three pre-major subjects from the first five disciplines mentioned above. In the third and fourth years, students study a major subject from the three pre-major subjects chosen in the second level and need to take interdisciplinary courses as electives. The fifth year is almost completely devoted to full time research/technical project/specialized training in which the students need to prepare a dissertation. At the end of the fifth year, both Bachelor and Masters Degrees are awarded to successful students.
