The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata, established in 2006 by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, has rapidly emerged as a premier science education and research centre. Our primary mandate is to train students for academic research careers. Yet, we recognize that many of our graduates pursue diverse professional paths where a strong foundation in the basic sciences is essential.

  • Our students receive rigorous training in major disciplines such as Physical sciences, Chemical sciences, Earth sciences, Biological sciences, Mathematics & Statistics and Computation & Data Sciences. This comprehensive education prepares them for careers in their chosen fields and equips them with the problem-solving skills needed to succeed in various professional environments.
  • Through our Career Development Cell, we actively connect students with potential employers across multiple industries, facilitate direct interactions that enable companies to identify and recruit talent with the right mix of skills and aptitudes. Additionally, IISER Kolkata hosts the Center of Excellence in Space Sciences India (CESSI), which plays a significant role in National and International space science initiatives, further enriching our students' exposure to advanced research.
