Also, Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Center is under construction.
NISER is neither a university nor got "Institute of National Importance" status, Center and State has same ruling party but still NISER is a 'college' no new development in University status. IISERs are Brand just like IITs IIMs AIIMS, Each IISERs are single entity.. NISER is Just another HBNI affiliated institution, In DAE primary institute is TIFR rest of just side kick. If NISER establishment was soo successful, it already replicated in other states also even has any state ever demanded NISER like institutions for their state? Govt of Odisha understood this, that's why they also demanded and got IISER Berhampur, another IISER going to be established in Gandhinagar, Nagaland demands for IISER, Tamilnadu Demanding for IISER in Coimbatore. Even Maharashtra Govt don't demand for name change of "CEBS" to NISER Mumbai. visva bharati was also admitted students through NEST till 2022, but unfortunately Central govt forced them to accept only CUET, visva bharati was the only INI admitted students through NEST.
