SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the decision between studying at IIT Kanpur for a BSc in Physics or IISER. IIT Kanpur is widely recognized internationally, particularly in the field of physics, with many graduate students from top programs having attended this institution. In contrast, IISER lacks the same level of recognition outside India, making IIT Kanpur a more favorable choice for those considering future opportunities abroad.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Indian higher education system
  • Familiarity with the reputation of IITs and IISERs
  • Knowledge of international academic recognition
  • Awareness of career prospects for physics graduates
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the global recognition of IIT Kanpur versus IISER
  • Explore career opportunities for physics graduates from IITs
  • Investigate alumni success stories from IIT Kanpur
  • Learn about the curriculum and faculty at IISER compared to IIT Kanpur
USEFUL FOR

Prospective physics students, academic advisors, and individuals evaluating higher education options in India, particularly those considering international career paths in science.

I live in India, and i just finished school, and decided to study physics. I got a seat in IIT Kanpur for a Bsc in Physics and also a seat in IISER(Indian Institute of Science Education and Research), and I can't decide where to go.
I understand that there is little to no scope for a Physics graduate here in India, and that I have to go abroad after studying. My decision has to thus be based on which of these institutes is more recognized outside the country, and I would really appreciate any insight on the same.

The IIT tag is something that people recognise. Just saying, I don't know too much about IISER, is it better than IISC?
All the best for wherever you end up going :)
 
I don't know about IISER but most of the graduate students at my grad school (top five program) actually went to IIT Kanpur. I know of three in my group alone so I am sure there are more in my program and a lot more at other schools. I know other students I know went to different IITs. Basically everyone I know who did undergrad in India went to an IIT and I think IIT Kanpur is especially well known for physics.
