Have a question related to IISER Tirupati ?

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.

hi,

With 98 marks in IAT 2025 and being in the General EWS category, your chances of getting a seat in IISER Tirupati or IISER Thiruvananthapuram seem a bit low because usually the cutoff for these institutes is higher, especially for the EWS category. Sometimes the cutoff varies depending on how many students appeared and the overall difficulty of the exam, but generally, the safe scores are a little above your mark. Still, you might have some chances in the newer IISERs where the cutoffs can be slightly lower.
