IISER Bhopal is primarily a research-oriented institute, resulting in a high percentage of students opting for higher studies, particularly PhDs, rather than immediately seeking placements. The placement opportunities, while available, are relatively limited, with a focus on students from engineering and economic sciences departments. The average salary package varies, with reports indicating figures around 5-19 LPA, depending on the course. Companies such as Nomura, Dr. Reddy's Labs, Deloitte, and Barclays occasionally visit for recruitment.
The highest reported package has reached up to 37 LPA. The placement cell is still developing, and efforts are being made to improve industry connections. Internship opportunities are abundant, particularly in research, with options available both in India and internationally. Students often secure internships through IISER's network or by reaching out to professors directly. Some internships offer stipends, often funded through scholarships like INSPIRE or KVPY. However, the primary emphasis remains on academic and research pursuits.
