IISER Mohali All Questions

Since you’ve cleared the IISER Aptitude Test, you now need to register online for the counselling at the official portal (iiseradmission.in). Fill out the preference form with your IISER choices, verify documents if shortlisted, and pay the seat acceptance fee. Keep checking the site for counselling dates and steps.

If you see last year data the closing rank for SC at the least competitive IISER Berhampur in 2024 was 965. It shows that even for newer and less competitive IISERs, the closing ranks for the SC category were far below 8000. So unfortunately possibility is very low.

Good luck..

Hello,

If your OBC-NCL certificate is valid, issued after April 1st, digitally signed, has a QR code, and mentions all the required details, then there should not be any problem.

Even if the format is slightly different, the main thing is that it proves your OBC-NCL status under the central list. Also, since the IISER help desk has confirmed that uploading a valid document before the deadline is fine, your reservation is not likely to be cancelled.

Hope it helps !

If your OBC-NCL certificate includes all required details like caste, non-creamy layer status, and income limit, it should generally be accepted.
Even though it’s in your state’s format, IISER mainly checks whether it meets central guidelines.
Sometimes, they may still ask you to upload it in the Central Government format later.
To be safe, keep a copy ready in the prescribed central format if possible.
This way, you won’t face any issues during final document verification.

HELLO,

Yes, you can attempt the IISER aptitude exam (IAT) even with a 53% in your 12th board exams as long as you have applied and the results are not yet declared. However your admission will be subject to fulfilling the minimum eligibility criteria of the specific IISER you are applying to which typically requires a minimum aggregate percentage. You can check the eligibility criteria for the IISER you are interested in.

Hope this Helps!

Thank you

Hello reader,

With your rank, if you come from a reserved category, then there might be a chance for admission in IISER. But if you come from unreserved category, then getting into top tier IISER is unlikely. You might have chance in IISER colleges with low cutoff range.

Hello,

Let’s take a closer look at your situation. With a score of 98 marks in the IAT and your General EWS (male) category status, you’re positioned reasonably well—particularly for IISER Tirupati and Thiruvananthapuram (TVM).

Historically, these two institutes have posted cutoffs for the General EWS category in the 95–105 range. This puts your score right in the competitive mix, especially as the seat allocation process moves into the second and third rounds. Statistically speaking, Tirupati appears more attainable, while Thiruvananthapuram is possible, though perhaps a touch more competitive. Meanwhile, options like IISER Berhampur might present even better odds. On the other hand, IISER Pune and Kolkata are quite competitive for your score and category—realistically, it’s challenging to expect admission there without a significant change in cutoff trends.

It’s important to keep your choices broad. Make sure to include all possible IISERs in your preference list to maximize your chances. Also, regularly monitor the counselling portal and make use of float/slide options where available.

If you require guidance on filling out choices or staying updated on counselling rounds, our team at Careers360 can assist you.

Wishing you the very best with your admission process.
