Around 200-acre land in Laoudigaon was identified by the Ganjam district administration for this premier institute which was approved by the Union Ministry. The IISER uses the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) Berhampur as the temporary or the transit campus.
On October 10, 2017, Prof Chary took over as the new director. On May 18, 2018 CPWD invited Suresh Goel and Associates to be the architectural consultant.

The IISERs are new experiments in science education as they are having an interdisciplinary approach. The institute offers an integrated five-year Master of Science degree as well as PhD programmes. The financial outlay for each IISERs is Rs 500 crore for a period of five years.
