Is it alright with you if you can share whether you got admitted to an iiser or not.

Hello Archisman!

The IISERs do not release any official cut off to clear the SCB round any year. But there is a generalized analysis of the answer keys by the candidates every year.

It is said that 80+ marks are required by the general category student to secure a seat in IISERs until the second round of allotment. For the later consecutive rounds, general candidates with 70+ marks have meagre chances to secure a seat in the IISERs of their third or fourth preference.

It is revolting to predict if, with 51 marks, you will be able to get even the newest IISERs(Berhampur and Tirupati) this year. It also depends on your list of preferences. But as you belong to the general category the chances seem really less. Sometimes, post allotment sessions are done, please patiently wait for that round if it is going to happen this year. Maybe the increase in seat matrix to 75% in SCB stream can favour you or the difficulty level of IAT this year may bring down the mark window by 8-10.

Hope for the best!
