Hi Vaishnavi

IISERs offer mostly BS-MS degree, Integrated PhD and PhD programmes in Biology.

Separate course for Biotechnology is not seen in their academics. I think in PhD only you can opt for your choice of Biotechnology in IISERs.

IISER Bhopal only offers a BS program in Engineering and Economics, Not particularly in Biotechnology.

In 2nd and 3rd year of BS-MS programs, you can opt for your choice of discipline in Biology as your major and minor subjects.

Hope it helps.

Hey,

One can get into IISER through KVPY, JEE advance, SCB. Candidates belonging to general category need to secure a rank within 10,000 in the Common Rank List (CRL) of JEE Advanced to secure a seat in IISER. The only gateway to enter IISER through SCB is by qualifying the aptitude test conducted by them.

Thank you and keep asking:) 

Hi,

Aiims in considered as one of the toughest entrance exam in the country. 

The number of questions in aiims are 60 each from bio, chem n phy nd 20 from aptitude. And duration of exam is 3hr 30mins.

Coming to iiser, no of questions are 15each from phy, chem bio n maths. Duration being 3hrs.

So u can see that the questions as well as the toughness of questions are higher in aiims. 

Bio in iiser is of near abt d same level as in neet

Same goes for chem n phy

And maths sec questions are appreciably good and with understanding easy to solve.

The level of AIIMS is way tougher than NEET. With regards to all the sections. 

All the best

Hello Rock star   ,

No you cant. If you dont want to take admission through the Aptitude test then appear for JEE Advanced or KVPY.

But for getting admissions you will compulsorily have to appear for atleast the tests that IISER accepts.

hope that helps!

Hi Shivani, the rank cutoffs varies every year based on the difficulty level of exams, seats available and management decisions. However looking at last year process, the chances are very highly slim to no chancess to get call for iiser. Basically they call ranks among 50-700 on average basis, and tough to get even IISER Mohali. 

Hey Alviya,

Sorry to say that your chances of appearing for JEE advanced is not possible. You should better take a year drop and study well to get a good college through JEE. I will suggest you to join a good coaching institute and prepare well.

Good luck ahead !

Hello Prashant,

First of all congratulations for clearing IIT JAM, but as per the stream of biological sciences is concerned, there are a very few IITs which have biological sciences, there is an equivalent competition for the same. Hence it is very difficult to get selected in any IIT for MSc. But i would like you to apply in different NITs and IISERs where there is a chance of getting selected based on your rank. According to the last year cut off, you can shortlist a couple of NITs, IISERs and appear for the counselling. Again i would say that the admission is completely unpredictable as it depends on the ranking, past cut off, students applied for the current year and many other factors. Still, it is worth trying.

Next thing you can do is apply for different central universities as well, you have to write a separate exam for that but chances of getting a good institute is all that matters. 

I hope this helps you. Good Luck!
