Dear Aspirant,

It is not easy to predict the exact cutoff and admission situation as it depends on a lot of unpredictable factors like the number of students attempting the exam, the preferences of the students and the seat matrix of the college.

There are about 1700 seats in IISERs and about 1300 are reserved for IAT Candidates and in this about 130 seats are reserved for EWS candidates.

Looking at this we can say that you have a good chance of getting into IISER Tirupati and Berhampur and a small chance of getting into IISER Mohali or Thiruvananthapuram.

Please check the link below for more details on the cutoffs.

Hope this helps.

IISER cut-off

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to take admission in the college and the seat matrix.

There are about 1700 seats in IISER and about 1300 are reserved for IAT Candidates. Looking at this trend we can say that you have a really good chance of getting into IISER.

IISER Kolkata is one of the  most preferred IISERs and hence it might be slightly difficult to get into it. You have a really good chance of getting IISER TVM or Mohali. You might get Kolkata in the last or post allotment rounds.

We do not have any official cutoff details from IISERs and hence the predictions are based on the previous year observed trends.

Hope this helps.

Hello Aspirant,

Congratulations on your great result. The simple answer to your question will be a YES. Yes, you can get IISER TVM at a rank of 2017. Last year the cutoff for IISER TVM was around 2600. So you can get this college according to the previous trends. However, this is a prediction, so you should wait for the official allotment procedure.

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students attempting the exam, the order in which you have full your choice form and the seat matrix of the college.

1300 seats are reserved for IAT Candidates in IISERs.

7.5 percentage of these seats are reserved for ST candidates hence about 197 seats are reserved.

A small chance of getting into Pune or Kolkata. These predictions are purely based on experience as we don't have any official cutoff details.

IISER cut-off

Hello Kuldip,

There are three ways through which one can get into IISERs.

METHOD 1: Through KVPY

All the students who have secured a rank in KVPY are eligible for this program. The students will be shortlisted on the basis of their ranks.

Application Dates: 11 September to 15 September

METHOD 2: Through JEE Advanced

A JEE Advance rank of 15000 (for General candidates) and less will be enough for getting into an IISER. However, the candidates will be shortlisted on the basis of their ranks here as well.

Application Dates: 11 September to 15 September

METHOD 3: Through IISER Aptitude Test (IAT)

The maximum number of students are admitted through this method. The exam has already been conducted for the year 2022. The toughness of this entrance exam is more or less similar to JEE/NEET.

A rank of 452 in the IAT exam is considered to be a great rank. You will be eligible for all the IISERs at this rank. Maybe not in the first round but by the end of 2nd or last round you will be eligible for all the IISERs according to my PREDICTION.

LIST OF COLLEGES AT YOUR RANK:

1. IISER Pune
2. IISER Mohali
3. IISER Bhopal
4. IISER Kolkata
5. IISER TVM
6. IISER Tirupati
7. IISER Behrampur

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite difficult to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to get admission into the college, the seat matrix etc.

IISERs have a total of about 1700 seats and then about 1300 are reserved for IAT (SCB Channel).

You have a really good chance of getting into an IISER. You have a lower chance of getting IISER Pune, Kolkata, Mohali a decent chance of getting TVM and a really good chance of getting Berhampur, Tirupati and Bhopal.

This depends on what the order of your preferences are as well.

We don't have any official cut-off details and hence this predictions are based  on just experience.

Hope this helps.

Dear Aspirant,

IISER Aptitude test is conducted every year and is one of the main channel of admission into IISERs.

The difficulty level of the examination is similar to JEE/ NEET exams and one can prepare for it whe preparing for the other competitive examinations.

For all subjects please refer to NCERT first to clear your concepts and then move on to the following reference books

For inorganic chemistry and biology focus only on NCERT.

MATH - Cengage/ Arihant publication series for concepts

Physics - H C Verma, solve every question of every chapter

Organic chemistry - Refer to  O P Tandon for questions and tricky concepts

Physical chemistry - Refer to P Bahadur

You can refer to YouTube videos for getting a better idea of concepts whenever you have doubts

If you haven't done math/biology in your class 11 / 12, it's alright. Focus on revising easy topics from NCERT before the exam.

The exam is out of 180 and if you get above 110, you should be in a really good spot to get a seat in IISER.

Hope this helps.
