Presentation Transcript

  1. Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs)

  2. Research in basic and pure sciences crucial • Many areas of basic sciences eventually evolve as applied sciences • e.g. Lasers • Semiconductors • Superconductivity • NMR imaging • Nanomaterials

  3. Problems of science education and research in the country :- • Bright students generally attracted to careers in professional fields. • Growth of science education in universities / colleges without concern for quality. • Virtual absence of specialised institutions for science education and research. • Exodus of scientists from R&D establishments. • Little or no interface between educational institutions and research establishments.

  4. Scientific Advisory Council to Prime Minister (SAC-PM) in 2005 recommends setting up of two Indian Institutes of Science Education & Research (IISERs), at Pune and Kolkata. • IISERs, Pune and Kolkata established and commence their academic session from August, 2006 (with about 40 students each).

  5. Three more IISERs recommended to be set up by SAC-PM. • Foundation stone for IISER, Mohali laid in September, 2006. • IISERs at Bhopal and Thiruvananthapuram also to be established.

  6. DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF IISERs • Exclusively for Pure Sciences. • Vertically Integrated. • Interdisciplinary Education and Research. • Fully Residential. • Physical facilities and Manpower of International Standards. • Admission based on All India Entrance Exam.

  7. ACADEMIC ASPECTS • Areas • Physical Sciences • Chemical Sciences • Mathematics and Computational Sciences • Life Sciences • Environment and Earth System Sciences • Material Sciences • Programmes • Integrated Master’s Programme (5 years) (after 10+2) • Integrated Doctoral Programme (after B.Sc.) (5 years plus) • Conventional Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Programmes

  8. YEAR-WISE STUDENT INTAKE AND GROSS STUDENT STRENGTH FOR EACH IISER

  9. YEAR-WISE STRENGTH OF FACULTY AND SUPPORTING STAFF FOR EACH IISER

  10. YEAR-WISE Total Investment (Amounts in Crore Rs.)

  11. MAIN GOALS EXPECTED TO BE ACHIEVED • To attract brilliant students to careers in basic sciences. • To nurture creativity. • To transcend compartmentalization of traditional disciplines. • To network teaching institutions with laboratories. • To synergize research with teaching and education.

  12. Thank You.
