The Government of India, through the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), has established five Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER).These institutes are located in Bhopal, Mohali, Pune, Kolkata and Thiruvanantapuram. The IISERs represent a unique initiative in India where teaching and education are totally integrated with state-of-the-art research nurturing both curiosity and creativity in an intellectually vibrant atmosphere of research. Each IISER is an autonomous institution awarding its own Masters and Doctoral degrees.
IISER Pune started functioning in August 2006 from a campus adjoining the National Chemical Laboratory, Dr Homi Bhabha Road, Pune 411008. The main campus on 98 acres of land, near this site, is under construction and will be completed by December 2012. It will have a total of 32,000 sq.mt of built up academic space and 80,000 sq.mt of residential buildings. At present, all academic activities are housed in the transit campus at the Sai Trinity Towers, Pashan Circle (1.5 km from the campus site) and at our hostel-guesthouse-academic complex already built on the campus. IISER Pune currently has 360 UG students, 90 PhD students and close to 60 faculty. The institute offers a five-year course leading to a BS-MS degree (after class XII) and a full fledged PhD programme in the basic sciences.
