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!

Hello aspirant.

No, Biology is not compulsory in iiser, in case any subject is not compulsury for iiser test.

You can take any of the subjects.Especially since the common subjects- Physics and Chemistry - are not crazily tough, hence a lot of people will score well here. Also, if you are a Math / Bio background student, you will obviously be expected to score well in your specific subject.

Hence, for a math background student, it is somewhat essential to ensure that you take atleast some points from the bio section to supplement your total score. This will give you a good advantage over a large number of people.

Hope this will help you.

I am also facing the same problem.I think that if the authorities are informed about this,then there might be a change in any one of the exam.I just wrote an email to both the authorities on an address found on the website.you may also do it.If more candidates are there in the same situation,then it may work.So please ask more people to do it.

Hello Sara,

I am expecting 80marks in IAT2021 and belongs General category. Could you please let me know, whether you got admission in IISER? If so, which one? Thanks in advance.

Hello Aspirant,

At this marks it is very difficult to get IISER. There is very less chance to get IISER. IISER cutoff has own criteria. I depend on some factors like school board (CBSE,ICSE and other state board), minimum score by the applicants and also depend on category.

If the candidate belong to CBSE board and from  general category then candidate should score approximately 420 marks, if Candidate belong to OBC then Candidate score should be approximately 400/410 marks, if candidate are from SC/ST then the score is approximately  370marks.

And as per your marks it is very difficult to get IISER.

I hope this information is helpful for you.

All the best for your bright future ahead.

You will be checked for your:

• Language and Comprehension skills
• Mathematical Skills
• Data Analysis and Insufficiency
• Intelligence and Critical Reasoning

Under Mathematical skills, you should focus on Mathematics atleast from 6th to 10th. Because there is no fixed syllabus you cannot just rely on 9th and 10th Mathematics topics. Under Language and Comprehension skills command on your English, Grammar, Vocabulary will be checked. Under Critical Reasoning, comparison of data, Data Analysis, taking clues, interpreting missing data, coming to conclusions and making future projections will be covered under this Category. The questions here are interlinked and so if you get one formula correct, cracking the next few questions will be easy. So it's important to memorise and practise formulae. You should cover topics like Data tables, Data Charts, Bar Diagrams, Pie Charts, Graphs, Data Comparison and Analysis.

I am also scoring exacty same marks. I don't think there is a chance unless or until you are of reserved catogry( Sc or St or Obc)

Dear Aspirant,

IISER doesn't provide any official cutoff list.So looking at the previous year's cutoff,there is a better chance of your's to get admission in IISER.The last year's utoff for OBC was 60-70 marks.So according to your marks you will get a good IISER.But the cutoff might change every year.

All the best

Thank you
