Have a question related to IISER Mohali ?

hi,

With 98 marks in IAT 2025 and being in the General EWS category, your chances of getting a seat in IISER Tirupati or IISER Thiruvananthapuram seem a bit low because usually the cutoff for these institutes is higher, especially for the EWS category. Sometimes the cutoff varies depending on how many students appeared and the overall difficulty of the exam, but generally, the safe scores are a little above your mark. Still, you might have some chances in the newer IISERs where the cutoffs can be slightly lower.

I've filled IAT(iiser amplitude test) form, it's admit card will be released on 15th may after taking it's printout, will i need the same post card photograph to stick on that admit card? Since I have only one past card photo and I'll be using it on my neet form I won't have the same photo for iat

Hello Aspirant,

Typically the suitability testing admit card (IAT-IISER Amplitude Test) is generated online and there is no expectation that you place a picture on the card after printing it off. The picture that you uploaded while you completed the form will be printed directly on the admission card so there should be no requirement for a separate passport photo on the printed one, at least that is how it is normally done.

Anyway, make sure you check the official instructions that came with the admit card on May 15. If they do require a physical picture to stick on the admission card they will clearly mention it. If the application uses your one passport photo for NEET then you may want to think about scanning and printing a digital copy if you do have to stick a picture on your admission card, in the event of such an emergency.
