Hello Yadukrishna,

IISER generally accepts a rank below 5000 for reserved category students. It has gone up till 10000, but below 5000 scores is considered to be a high chance. So, you might be getting a call from IISER.

Your chances of getting a call from NIT is also high, but not from all NITs.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Dear Tabaan, when you say you are studying Integrated B.Sc Biotechnology course, isnt it a 5 year B.Sc+M.Sc course? And once you are done with B.Sc, you want to study M.Sc in IISER? We are afraid it doesnt work that way. The Integrated course is for 5 years and you are awarded your degree and certificates of course completion post the course which is 5 years. But please check with your Institution if they offer degree certificates post the completion of B.Sc. If yes, you may as well give it a try.
