Hi,

Well, although most of the students of IISERs apply for PhD in various universities of India and the world, but a handful of them do go for placements in their final year.

They get placed mostly in the R & D departments of various companies.

In the year in which I joined IISER-P, around 8 students got placed in LAKME R & D department with package of 1 crore.

In the very same year, one student from IISER-K also got placed with a similar package abroad.

So, although out of 200 students of various IISERs(at my time maximum intake of 5 IISERs was 200 each), only about 10–15 get placed but packages are generally good.

All the best :)
