Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) are a group of autonomous institutions established by the Government of India through the Ministry of Education for teaching and research in natural science and to provide collegiate education in basic sciences integrated with research at the undergraduate level.
The institutes were formally established by the Parliament of India through the Science Education and Research (Amendment) Act, 2010. Seven IISERs have been established across the country, namely IISER Pune in Maharashtra, IISER Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, IISER Mohali in Punjab, IISER Kolkata in West Bengal, IISER Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, IISER Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, and IISER Berhampur in Odisha.[2] All IISERs were declared as Institutes of National Importance by the Parliament of India in 2012,[3] to promote them as leading institutions in the country in the field of basic sciences along with institutes like Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. The financial outlay for each IISER is around ₹500 crore (US$60 million) for the first five years of establishment.
