    Good Luck. 

    Hi,I got 74 marks in IISER entrance exam and I belong to the general category. Can I get admission in the IISER institutions?

    If you are a non General student (OBC,SC,ST,Pwd) you will for sure get a good seat in IISER.

    Although if you are General Category student, then you need to wait for further rounds in counselling. People getting 76-79 marks gets admitted in Bhopal.

    Thus you can expect it and might get Behrampur for sure.

    If you have any further query then feel free to comment.
