Yes, as a PCB student you can take IAT, but need to know these important points:
- The syllabus covers physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology that is based on NCERT (11th & 12th).
- You haven't studied mathematics in class 11 & 12 but still you can appear in IAT.
- You need strong preparation in all the specific subjects to clear the IAT.

Hello,

No, a PCB student cannot take the IAT test because it is mainly for students with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in Class 12.

Hope it helps !

Hi! Yes, a PCB student can appear for IAT provided they meet the eligibility criteria mentioned in the official brochure. IISER allows students from PCM, PCB, or PCMB backgrounds, but your subject choice may affect the streams you can apply for once admitted. For example, if you don’t have Mathematics in Class 12, some physical sciences courses might be harder to pursue, but life sciences and interdisciplinary courses remain open. Always check the latest IAT notification for any subject-specific requirements. Prepare well in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, as the test will assess all three.

Thanks for your question, and all the best for IAT!

Hello Aspirant,

Indeed, a PCB student can apply for the IAT (IISER Aptitude Test), assuming he/she has taken at least three of the following subjects in their Class XII (or equivalent): Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and/or Physics.
