Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER)

Kolkata, Pune
5 Year Integrated Master (M.S) Course

The Government of India, through the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), has created two Science Institutes, patterned after the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, in terms of high quality research in basic sciences, but with additional education program in the form of an integrated five year Masters curriculum following XII of our school system (or it equivalent). In addition to Kolkata and Pune IISERs which have been in existence since July 2006, one more IISER in Mohali (near Chandigarh) is expected to commence its academic session from July 2007. Each IISER is an autonomous degree awarding Institution. The central theme of IISERs is to integrate education with research so that undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well as doctoral and post doctoral research works are carried out in symbiosis. Each IISR will admit upto 100 students in the academic session beginning in July 2007. For further details of IISER, please visit www.iiserpune.ac.in

Only those students who qualify in one of the following examinations will be eligible for consideration for admittance to the First year of the 5 year integrated Masters program at the above three IISERs.
