Have a question related to IISER Kolkata ?

my general rank in iiser is around 16000 and my ews rank is around 900 can i get iiser kolkata by any chance

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.

I am getting IISER Kolkata in first round of seat allotment through scb channel, my gen rank in IAT 2022 is 1253 and ews rank is 54 can I get IISER Pune in next round?

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to take admission in the college and the seat matrix of the college.

There are 200 seats in Pune and about 20 are reserved for EWS candidates.

Going by this trend we can say that you have a good chance of getting into Pune campus in further rounds.

Keep in mind that Pune is one of the most preferred branches of IISER and hence is highly competitive so there might a lower chance of people dropping the seat in Pune.

So, please be prepared to go to IISER Kolkata as well.

Hope this helps.

My son got 1176 allover rank (General) in IAT (IISER Aptitude Test), will he secure a seat in IISER Kolkata?

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to take admission in the college and the seat matrix.

There are about 1700 seats in IISER and about 1300 are reserved for IAT Candidates. Looking at this trend we can say that you have a really good chance of getting into IISER.

IISER Kolkata is one of the most preferred IISERs and hence it might be slightly difficult to get into it. You have a really good chance of getting IISER TVM or Mohali. You might get Kolkata in the last or post allotment rounds.

We do not have any official cutoff details from IISERs and hence the predictions are based on the previous year observed trends.

Hope this helps.
