Hello,
Yes, Maths is compulsory for IISER admission .
To apply through the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT), you must have studied Mathematics in Class 12. Even if you are from a PCB stream, you cannot apply without Maths.
Hope it helps !
Hey! If you are planning to appear for the IISER exam (IAT) in 2026, here are some important points:
Eligibility: You should have passed Class 12 in 2024/2025 or be appearing in 2026, with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology as your main subjects.
Exam Pattern: The paper is called IISER Aptitude Test (IAT). It has 60 questions (15 each from Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and Biology). Duration is 3 hours, with +4 marks for correct and −1 for wrong answers.
Admission: From 2024 onwards, admission is only through IAT score. JEE Advanced and KVPY are no longer considered.
