who can apply the exam? what's the qualifications for exam?

Hello,

The IISER admissions are conducted through three channels - KVPY, JEE , and SCB . Aspiring candidates can apply through any or all of the three options, but should fulfil IISER Eligibility Criteria 2018 for the channels individually.

Candidates applying through first two channels are eligible for direct admission, while an aptitude test was conducted for candidates opting for SCB option.

the eligibility criteria :

KVPY ; Candidates need to have valid KVPY fellowship commencing from 2019-20 academic session.

JEE advanced ; Candidates belonging to general category need to secure a rank within 10,000 in the Common Rank List (CRL) of JEE Advanced 2018 to be eligible for IISER Admission 2018. Whereas, candidates falling in reserved categories (OBCNC, SC, ST, PD) should secure rank within 10,000.

SCB ; Students seeking admission under this channel must meet the minimum cutoff percentage prescribed by IISER for their respective state boards.

Candidates belonging to the Other Backward Classes (OBCNC) and Persons with Disability (PD) categories, there is a 5% relaxation to the prescribed eligibility criteria of IISER 2018 admission. Whereas, the cut-off percentage for the SC, ST and Kashmiri Migrants (KM) candidates is 55% in (10+2) level for all boards.

the cut off marks will also differ according to your state.

all the best
