Education has no boundaries. In today’s world, even if the world is running after money and stability, there are several academic institutions offering research programs in every field of studies. A huge number of academic research institutions have gained both national and international recognition in the past. The government of India has been supporting these institutes by funding them to expand their fields. Most of the research institutes are funded by the government of India through ministries like the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Human Resource Development, etc.
It’s very difficult to categorize these research institutes on a scale of 1 to 10. However, from cultivation to complicated physics and other scientific grounds are covered in all these institutions. Though the Government of India is the main sponsor, the equipment and facilities of many research programs are often offered by international institutions. Here’s the list of some of the top 10 institutions with their special grounds of research.
Indian Institute of Science (IISc)
IISc was founded in 1909, before independence. This historic institute is located in Bangalore and still working as one of the best research institutes. Not only the research facilities, but IISc also offers different fields of UG, PG programs of science altogether. Some of the main fields of research are based upon,
- Climate-Change
- Micro-electronics
- Medical Diagnosis
- Micro-biology
- Signal technology
The ground of research programs is pretty huge in reality. From general science research programs to interdisciplinary research programs like energy research, water research, and sustainable transportation, everything is covered.
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR)
TIFR was established in 1945 by Sir Dorabji Tata. It’s a national centre for the government of India under the Department of Atomic Energy. Popular fields of research under TIFR is,
- Mathematics
- High energy physics
- Astrophysics
- Cosmology
- Superconductivity
Among the best it can offer, one of the main reasons for students joining TIFR is, that it offers the best-recognized research facilities and opportunities for working abroad.
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)
One of the main medical research centres in India is AIIMS. It was established in 1956 in New Delhi. The invention of the institute has saved millions of patients with its service. The grounds of research in AIIMS are,
- Radiotherapy
- Medicinal studies
- Forensic medicine
- Dermatology
AIIMS helps medical students to stay in the field as well as to become more and more successful in every matter, from being a doctor to being an inventor.

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research ( IISER)
It’s a group of public research institutions established in 2006 through the Ministry of Resource Development by the government of India. It has expanded its branches in Kolkata, West Bengal; Pune in Maharashtra; Mohali in Punjab; Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh; Tirupati, Thiruvananthapuram, and Berhampur. IISER is called the IIT of the science students. Though it’s a blunt comparison to do so. These institutions are providing high-quality academic content and bigger placements nowadays.
Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS)

Conclusion
India is well known for its excellence in academic grounds and institutions all over the country. Though it’s a very misleading concept that students these days don’t want to go for higher education, finding the best opportunities and interests can lead anyone to the best they can have. The research institutions are growing with the help of not only the government of India but also with the help of international organizations and scientists.
