Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research

I came to know about IISER (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research) today. I was not aware of this before.

The govt of India has set up 5 IISERs in Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram last year. They offer 5 year integrated MS program in basic science. The way IITs were established for technical education, I think IISER have been established for science.
