Background: The present research aimed at measuring sport imagery among basketball players from Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER). Method: Sixty (N=60) male basketball players of inter IISER sports meet with the age group of 18 to 28 years were selected through purposive sampling technique to act as subjects from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. They were further divided into five groups: Group-A twelve (N=12) from IISER Mohali, (n=12), Group-B twelve (n=12) from IISER Pune, Group-C twelve (n=12) from IISER Bhopal, Group-D twelve (n=12) from IISER Kolkata, Group-E twelve (n=12) from IISER Thiruvananthapuram. Statistical analysis: One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to compare the entire groups. Where ‘P’ values found significant then Least Significant Differences (LSD) Post-hoc test was applied to find out the direction and degree of difference. The level of significance was set at P>0.05. Conclusions: It is concluded that results revealed significant differences among male basketball players from Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research i.e. IISER Mohali, IISER Pune, IISER Bhopal, IISER Kolkata and IISER Thiruvananthapuram on the sub-parameters; cognitive general(f=2.45,P<0.05), motivational specific(f=2.61,P<0.05), , motivational general-arousal(f=2.58,P<0.05), motivational general-mastery(f=4.26,P<0.05) and parameter sport imagery (Total) (f=2.86,P<0.05). However no significant differences have been observed on the sub-parameter cognitive specific (f=.70, P>0.05) and cognitive general (f=2.46, P>0.05) among male basketball players from Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research i.e. IISER Mohali, IISER Pune, IISER Bhopal, IISER Kolkata and IISER Thiruvananthapuram
