2. Or else , All the IISERs together carryout separate exams in order to give students admission called the SCB or STATE AND CENTRAL BOARDS CHANNEL. 

• Students who have passed 10+2 level with science stream in 2018 or 2019 are eligible to apply for admissions and appear for IAT 2019.

Hello Anshu,

IISER has clearly stated its eligibility criteria for admissions:

Candidates who have passed 10+2 or equivalent level exam with science stream in 2018 or 2019 are eligible to apply for admissions. Candidates will be admitted to IISER only through following three channels.

1. Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) channel
2. Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Advanced) of the Indian Institutes of Technology
3. State and Central Boards Channel (SCB)

Hope this helps.

Hello Pooja,

If you are joining through state and central board (PCB) stream, You need to be in the top 1% of your respective board. So the cutoff percentage varies accordingly. You can check the cutoff score at the website. Cbse board is usually around 95%.

After you have cleared the cutoff score you need to give an aptitude test and qualify that too.

For admission to engineering programmes through JEE advanced channel, candidates who have secured 75% marks (GEN/EWS/OBC-NCL) or 65% marks (SC/ST/PWD) in their Class XII (or equivalent) exams are also eligible for IISER test.

Good luck!

Hey Raj,

For masters, there are two programs in IISER, One is Integrated BS-MS and the second is Integrated Ph.D.

1. To get Admission in the Integrated BS-MS program, you have to have passed 12th with science stream having any one subject or both Mathematics and Biology. A five-year program without any exit option with a Bachelor's degree. you get either Masters or Nothing.

2. For Int PhD (Int. MS-Ph.D), You have to have had a Bachelor's degree in Science and related areas with a minimum of 60% or equivalent, and then only you can apply for it, there is an exit option, if you wish, after the MS. Selection is made by a written aptitude test followed by an Interview.

Hello Uddhaba, 

If you have appeared for your class 12 boards in 2019 and have had science stream in your 10+2 classes then you are eligible for admission to IISER. For other details regarding IISER eligibility and admission, you can look here :  https://www.iiseradmission.in/eligibility/

Hope this helps  :) 

Hello Sir,

Biology is not considered as a mandatory subject to apply to IISER. Science is mandatory and your son needs to have a combination of Chemistry, Physics, Biology OR Maths.

So you need not worry about Biology. He can apply to IISER.

Hope this answers your query. Do let us know in case you need further assistance.
