Chances are less. A portion of the graduated class express that to get into IISER Pune one should attempt to score 110+ imprints in IAT, and for any of the other IISERs, you will have risks provided that your score is 80+ marks. To secure a seat in any of IISER, you should score 83-85 yet the degree of trouble can be eccentric. Cutoff marks for the IISER fitness test first round remain almost 97 imprints (genuine shorts and positions are not understood. So it very well might be +/ - 1). Second round cutoff drops to 88-92 (a good guess)

Dear aspirant,

IISER-TVM and Pune both offer five-year BS-MS Dual degrees. There are a few differences though.

In IISER-TVM you'll have to do all courses (Physics, chemistry, math and biology) for four semesters and you'll have to pick a major in the third year (fifth semester). These are basic introductory courses and in IISER Pune this happens only for the first three semesters after which you'll get to pick two disciplines as pre major choice for one semester and then move on to one discipline for major coursework. You have the liberty of not choosing a major in IISER-Pune. You can take courses to fulfill the credits and you'll graduate with a BS-MS in Science instead of a BS MS in biology/ physics/math/chemistry. This option is not available in TVM. Other than that everything else like is almost similar between both the institutions.

Hope this helps.

Dear aspirant,

Yes, there are different modes of entry to IISERs.

IISERs are a good place to pursue Biology and Chemistry and the choice of major of your daughter might change after going through the foundation courses.

1. IAT - IISER Aptitude Test - This exam is conducted once every year and has 4 subjects, 60 questions, 15 from each biology, physics, maths, and chemistry. The total marks is 180 . +3 for every right answer and -1 for every wrong answer. 50%of the admissions happen via this portal.

They'll declare a cut-off for board marks and only students with marks above that cut-off are eligible to write the exam.

2. JEE Advanced and KVPY ranks - The other 50 percent happens based on the KVPY and JEE Advanced portal. Admission is decided based on your preference and ranks. You should have obtained a rank of below 10 k in JEE Advanced.

Now that KVPY exam has been scraped off we don't yet know how the admission scenario will change.

Top 1 percentile of students of respective boards in IISERs will be eligible for the INSIPRE Scholarship which amounts to about 60 k every year .

Hope this helps


Dear aspirant,

The total marks for IAT is 180.

The number of students attempting and the difficulty of the exam keeps varying every year so we can't predict things accurately.

Based on previous year trends we can say that, if you belong to the general category, you'll need atleast 80+ marks to secure a seat in any of the IISERs. So, if you belong to general category , it is quite difficult to get a seat in IISER

If you belong to the SC/ST category , you have a decent chance of getting IISER-Berhampur, Tirupati, Bhopal ( the new IISERs )

So, please keep other options open.

Hello!

Eligibility criteria for admission in IISER is as follows:

  • Candidates belonging to GEN/OBC and OBC-NCL should have scored minimum of 60% marks in aggregate or equivalent grade in the qualifying examination.
  • Candidates belonging to SC/ST/PwD should have scored minimum of 55% marks in aggregate or equivalent grade in the qualifying examination.

I am assuming that you have mentioned your IISER exam marks. If you have scored 48 marks, then your percentage would be around 27%. Since you need more than 55% to get admission in your category, your chances of getting in are low.

Dear aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict mark versus rank scenario for IAT as it depends on the difficulty level of the question paper, number of students attempting the exam etc. Looking at the previous year trends we can say that you have a fair chance of getting IISER Tirupati, Bhopal and Bherampur. It'll be hard the old IISERs like Pune, Mohali but you might have to wait for a few rounds before you can get any sort of idea. So, please keep other options open.

Hope this helps.

Hello!

The best IISER for pure science is pune campus. The ranking goes as follows: pune, mohali, kolkata, then all others. All IISERs are equally good, but the pune campus is the best for every course as per students reviews. The pune campus is one of the oldest IISER. It has many affiliations with foreign universities and the best course structure.

I hope this helps.

Hello User,

Hope you are doing well.

Different Colleges are best in different subjects.You can follow as mentioned:

(1)PHYSICS: NISER is best in physics.It comes under DAE(Department of Atomic Energy).

Among IISERs, IISER KOLKATA is best in physics.

(2)CHEMISTRY: IISER PUNE is overall good in chemistry. In case of publications, IISER KOLKATA is far ahead now.

(3)BIOLOGY: IISER PUNE is very good in biology.In 2nd number,you can prefer both IISER KOLKATA and IISER MOHALI and in 3rd, IISER BHOPAL and NISER.

(4) MATHEMATICS: I have a little knowledge in case of mathematics. IISER MOHALI is very good in algebraic mathematics.

Some additional points should be noted:

  • Fees are very less in NISER.
  • You will get 2 years for your M. Sc. project in NISER but it is only one year in IISERs.
  • If you have CGPA>7.5 you will get a chance to sit in BARC interview without any exam.
  • IISER is an institute of National Importance but NISER not.

So, you first have to decide which is your strong subject and according to that you should take admission to that particular college.

Good Luck!
