NISER Bhubaneswar is envisioned to be one of the premier science institutions in India. It is an unique institution of its kind where both students as well as the faculty strive to set new standards in the realms of science education and research. Operating under the umbrella of the Department of Atomic Energy, India, NISER is expected to have the twin attributes of exemplary science education and state-of-the-art research. As one of the highest funded science institutions in the country, NISER aims to introduce young minds to the excitements in the frontier of knowledge in all branches of fundamental science.
The academic programme is designed to provide strong foundations to students, through core courses, before they embark at the threshold of research in the field of their choice. However, NISER's curriculum ensures that every student is introduced to excitements in the frontiers of knowledge in other branches of fundamental sciences. NISER strives to create an environment of scientific culture where every member will excel in any field he desires to pursue.
NISER recognizes that modern scientific research is carried out in a domain without any boundaries. The undergraduate students and research scholars will flourish in the ambiance of this scientific culture. In this perspective, it is expected that faculty members from different schools would try to establish centres of research in inter-disciplinary areas while discharging their teaching duties of core courses of the respective schools.
