Is IISER as good as IIT?

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research is a great platform to pursue Science and is better than the Indian Institutes of Technology to become a scientist. You can excel as a scientist. As Indian Institute of Science Education and Research is the best in India in research education except for the Indian Institute of Science. Indian Institute of Science Education and Research will provide you with a much better curriculum than the Indian Institutes of Technology. Does that mean one should choose the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research over the Indian Institutes of Technology for studying Physics. Well, that depends on the student Indian Institute of Science Education and Research follow an interdisciplinary curriculum for their undergrad I. e. you have to study all four subjects Physics Chemistry Maths and Biology for the first two years of your undergrad. So if you're more or less equally passionate about other Science subjects then the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research will definitely be a better choice. However, if you're only interested in your particular subject and absolutely despise others then you'd be much better off studying Physics at the Indian Institutes of Technology system. I hope this will help you.

Few of my friends are faculty in both the IISERs and IITs, according to few of them, IITs are designed with 40% research and 60% teaching and good if you want to do B.Tech or looking for more industry jobs. IISERs are opposite (more research and less teaching concept or teach by research), they are designed to make scholars and no B.Tech courses are run there. Having said it, both the type of institutes have very good faculty with active research labs and high impact research papers. I recommend checking the faculty who may be working with the subject of your interest, read their finding/research, approach them once you are ready for thesis etc. , work with them and make your path to higher education with their support (into PhD/Post Doctoral level) Note: You can make to higher education abroad even if you are not coming from any IIT or IISER or IISc. The key is the true interest in subject, motivation and determination, rest is the byproduct.
