Hi,
For IISER Kolkata, the maximum rank required to secure admission can vary each year based on the number of applicants and the difficulty of the exam. However, based on previous year a rank around 883 in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2024. might be a good benchmark for general category candidates
Hello,
Candidates need to secure a minimum of 60% marks/equivalent grades in Honors/Major (if applicable) in aggregate, or 60% marks/equivalent grades in aggregate (if Honors/Major is not applicable), And 50% for other category than general category like SC,ST and other category.
Hope this helps you,
Thank you
Dear Aspirant,
The exact admission situation depends on a number of unpredictable factors like the preferences of students, the number of students willing to take admission and the seat matrix of the college.
There are about 1300 seats for candidates entering via IAT and about 130 seats are reserved for EWS candidates
Looking at this data we can say that you have a decent chance of getting into Tirupati, Berhampur and a small chance of getting into TVM, Mohali campus.
Kolkata is one of the most preferred campuses and hence it is quite difficult to get into IISER Kolkata.
Please check the link below for more details.
Hope this helps
