Hello Sanandh,
For admission to IISER, you need valid JEE Advanced scores. Candidates with JEE Advanced scores are offered direct admission and don't have to appear in any entrance exam. However, JEE Main candidates are not eligible for admission at the institute.
If you have JEE Main score, the best thing to do would be to explore the other two routes of admission at the institute:
- Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) – Under this scheme you can seek admission if you have valid KVPY fellowship.
- State and Central Boards Channel (SCB) channel – If you opt for this channel, you have to appear in an aptitude test. Check this link to know more about this channel: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/iiser-admissions
