How many PhD scholars are there at NISER?

here isn’t a single official public number of how many PhD students NISER (National Institute of Science Education and Research) has right now, but here’s what available information suggests:

🔹 NISER is a research-focused institute with PhD programs across basic science disciplines.
🔹 One older report mentioned about 70 PhD scholars, though this may be outdated and only approximate.
🔹 Another community note suggests NISER has capacity for around 200 PhD seats across specializations, which likely reflects current or recent enrollment numbers rather than exact current count.
🔹 The institute overall has hundreds of students across all programs (UG, integrated MSc+, PhD), so the PhD portion is a significant but smaller subset of that total student body.

In simple terms:
NISER likely has dozens to around a couple hundred PhD students at a time, but official numbers vary by year and intake.

If you want, I can help you find the exact current PhD student count for this year (2026) by checking the institute’s latest annual report or official statistics.
