Indian Institute of Science Education and Research  (IISER) releases a list of applicants who partly qualify for entrance, but didnt get into the college just because there are no more vacancy for such students.

But as far as waiting list (WL) is concerned, it is great to atleast to be in it.

when a selected candidate fails to get into that college, these WL students (acc to their order of eligibilty) are called to get a seat in that college.

This is what waiting list in IISER mean.

I hope my answer was clear.

Feel free to ask any dobts in comments.

Dear aspirant,

Actually IISERs do not declare cutoffs , neither do they declare individual marks. They just declare if the candidate is selected or Not.

I am providing you the link where you can have a look at the previous year's merit list and get an idea about your chances for admission in IISER. There you will also find other information related to IISER which may be helpful.

I hope this helps!

You can get the Books of Arihant, MTG for that and you will find the cracked book easily online on Google.

And it will be much better if you will learn from book or from sheets than PDF and you will be much comfortable in that. So Always Prefer Books over PDFs

ALL THE BEST :)

Hi Raodevendrarao,

No, you will not be offered reservation if you haven't mentioned in the application that you are a OBC category student.

One suggestion which I can gave you is that write a mail to iiser authority regarding the issue you are facing but there are very little chances but it is good to try then doing nothing.

Good luck!

Hi Aspirant,

I understand that you have applied for the IISER aptitude test but somehow have missed out on mentioning your caste category which for your case is OBC as mentioned by you and so to answer your question, firstly I would ask you to see if there is any correction window that is due to open soon and if so then make the necessary correction in that window. If there is no correction window then I would advise you to address the management or authorities of IISER through a formal mail mentioning your discrepancy and request them to make the necessary correction in your application form. Then you would be able to get your caste category verified during the counselling process.

Also be informed that it is advisable not to wait for caste category change during the counselling process as only supporting documents are verified during the counselling and no changes are made as such during that stipulated period of time.

BEST WISHES!

Hello Shem!

The IISERs do not release any cutoff scores or ranks. But students generally analyse from the answer key and make prediction over the years.

Well according to the previous year trends, you probably can get a seat in IISER TVM(as last year, students who scored 80-85 got IISER TVM) in the first round or second round of allotment depending on the fact if its your 1st/2nd/3rd preference. If IISER Pune(generally, 100+ is required) is your first choice then you may not get get in the first three rounds...you may get other IISERs but can eventually use the float option to get IISER Pune. And you are also from the reserved category(If you belong to the non-creamy layers of OBC), so chances are good. You may also get IISER Mohali(A student scored 85 and got it in last round)and Kolkata(generally 95+ marks is required for general students). The newest IISERs too.

This year the IAT questions were difficult from the other previous year question papers. So, be hopeful that the closing rank may go down. And the seat intake from SCB stream has also increased by 25%. Also, the board cutoffs were relaxed to 60% this year due to the pandemic.

According to me, you will most probably get an IISER of your choice(IISER TVM surely). And you have the float option to get the IISERs of higher preference.

All the best!
