Company Profile :
The National Institute of Science Education and Research (Hindi: राष्ट्रीय विज्ञान शिक्षा एवं अनुसंधान संस्थान, NISER) is a research institution in Bhubaneswar, Odisha,India. The Prime Minister of India laid the foundation stone on August 28, 2006, establishing the institute along the lines of the IISc in Bangalore, and its five sister institutions, the IISERs that are being established at Pune, Mohali, Kolkata, Bhopal and Thiruvanthapuram in India.
Unlike the IISERs, which will be governed by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Government of India, NISER operates under the umbrella of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). The government of India has earmarked an initial outlay of 823.19 crore (US$140 million) during the first seven years of this project, starting from September 2007.
The Indian Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh has stated that NISER will compare with the best institutions in the country in terms of facilities and faculty.This move will help elevate the standard of research and education in Odisha.
Academics
The National Institute of Science Education and Research is dedicated to graduate education and research only. It offers a five-year integrated M.Sc. as well as Ph.D. degrees in pure and applied sciences.
Students
Integrated MSc Program: Students graduating after 10+2 years of schooling (or equivalent) are admitted into NISER's integrated M.Sc. programs through a competitive annual examination, the National Entrance Screening Test (NEST). The first batch was admitted in September 2007. As of 2009, obtaining a seat in NISER has become highly competitive. From a total of 70,000 applicants nationwide, only 0.325% qualify for admission, making it more difficult to qualify than the IITs.
Scholarships: NISER has been included in the list of a selected few institutions whose students directly qualify to receive scholarship under the Scholarship for Higher Education (SHE) category of the INSPIRE(Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research) programme launched by Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
All admitted students will receive a scholarship of 5000 (US$84) per month which should be sufficient to meet the course fees and boarding costs. Students will also receive a contingency grant of 20000 (US$340) per year to facilitate their academic pursuits.
PhD Program: In 2010 January, NISER started offering Doctoral Programme under the guidance of faculty members of NISER to students with Master degree in basic sciences, e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. To get admission, students have to qualify the CSIRNET/GATE/ NBHM or equivalent examination valid for the current year in the relevant area of research.
List of schools and departments :
NISER has four schools. They are:
- School of Biological Sciences
- School of Chemical Sciences
- School of Mathematical Sciences
