Hi There,

IISERs started taking apptitude test for Board students. Candidate to be in top 1% of their respective boards. Since every board is different, the marking strategies are also different in different boards.

Let us assume you write both exams and you happen to top both the exams. Even though you are the 1st rank holder in both boards, the % marks that you scored may be very different due to different marking strategy. Hence a state board cut-off  may be low or high compared to the central board.

For example Kerala’s board has similar figures compared to CBSE while that of Bihar usually much lower.

So, there is noting mysterious. You are compared with your fellow board students. If you score well enough to be in top 1% or less in your board, you become eligible to take the aptitude test.

Hello Mate....

If your examination board for 12th is tripura, jharkhand, Gujarat, Mizoram , Uttarakhand and meghalaya states because according to previous year's cutoff for these states the cutoff is around 61 through the SCB channel 50% of the seats are reserved for candidates qualifying the IISER aptitude test.

Hello Nishank!

Yes, basically a post allotment round for the IISERs takes place after the registration of the other candidates admitted through the previous allocation rounds is completed in their respective IISERs. It is pretty similar to mop up round as it is done to fill the left out seats only.

There is no particular procedure for this allotment round. The list of wait listed candidates are released in the official website. Thus, you have to set your hawk eyes on the website regularly or else you may miss necessary updates. You will be given a short period of time to pay the SAF fees and to exercise the float option. The call letter is received via registered email. The procedure is exactly similar to that of previous rounds of allotment.

However, the post allotment session did not happen the previous year(i.e 2019). But such mop up round did happen in 2018 and 2017 for the SCB stream. This year it may or may not happen keeping in mind the rank inflation in NEET and JEE.

Hello student!

As per the COVID-19 pandemic, the IISERs have relaxed the state and central board cutoffs to be eligible to apply for the IAT 2020.

The cut-off marks in 10+2 as eligibility for IISER Admissions 2020 is modified as follows: either 60% marks in aggregate or equivalent grade for General/ OBC and OBC-NCL categories and 55% for SC/ST/PWD in any boards or the cut-off marks already announced for each of the boards in the admission website, whichever is lower.

So, as you have scored 55% in your boards being a PWD candidate, you are eligible to sit for the IAT test.

You have to score above 90 in the IAT test to get your first three preffered IISERs easily in the forst or second rounds of allotment. Anywhere above 75+ will get you a seat in your 4th or 5th preferred IISER.
