About the institute
The Indian Institutes of Science Education & Research (IISERs) were established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, based on the recommendation of the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister. Five IISERs have been created and are functioning at Pune, Kolkata, Mohali, Bhopal and Thiruvananthapuram. The basic mandate of the IISERs is to carry out research in frontier areas of science and to provide quality science education at the undergraduate and the postgraduate level. Each IISER is an autonomous institution and awards its own degrees.
IISER Mohali started its academic programs in 2007 with a small batch of students in the BS-MS dual degree program. Four batches of students have completed the course requirements and have been awarded their degrees. The PhD program was started in 2008 and most of the students who joined then have graduated. The Integrated PhD program was started in 2012.
IISER Mohali's fully residential campus is coming up on 125 acres of land given by the Punjab Government, in the Knowledge City at Sector 81 Mohali. Most of the buildings in the initial phase have been completed and are in use. With a faculty of 70, various programs for 870 students are being conducted along with cutting edge research in basic sciences.
