IISER Mohali All Questions

IISER HAVE 3 CHANNELS FOR ADMISSION THAT IS JEE ADVANCED, KVPY AND, SCB. So you cannot get into a IISER with this percentile if you have not performed well in JEE Advanced.

For IISC, the cutoffs are higher than what you are getting so there is a very less probability that you will get into IISC too.

All the Best for future.

Hey, I would like to say that the minimum marks required to secure the seat in any IISER varies from year to year. Here there are three rounds in selection. Scoring around 96/180 were allotted seats in the first round itself for general category. So definitely you get seat in IISER .

Hi Writabrita Bhattacharya !

There is no release of official cutoff, the observations are made based on the marks obtained after students see the answer key.

In 2019 the cutoff for Unreserved category was 88–90 and EWS was around 84 ,this time considering the increasing seats by 20% and the intake through SCB channel in about 75% increase, it's possible that the cutoff further reduce to around 76–80 marks .But it also depends on the level of difficulty of this year's IAT as compared to 2019. Turns out that the IAT 2020 was at par as compared to 2019.

Still, 60 gives a fairly low chance while 80 is somewhat safe whereas 70 stand in between.

Nevertheless, don't loose hope and keep checking your emails for updates. Be patient till the last rounds of allotment (there may be chances to get seat in the newest IISERs i.e Tirupati and Berhampur). It also depends on your list of preferences. There may be post allotment rounds so it is requested to be patient till the last.

All the best !

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.

Hi Gaurang Krishna !

Due to the COVID-19 crisis this year, the SCB cutoff for state and central boards were relaxed to 60% (not top 20 percentile anymore).

So the marks secured in your boards doesn't matter unless it is less than 60%.

Now coming to the fact that you secured 75/180 in IAT test. If you belong to general category, it is difficult to predict....because gen-EWS category reservation is introduced this year so cutoff may vary greatly.

Also it depends on your list of preferences if you will bag a seat. If you have IISER bpr or Tirupati in the first or second preference then you may get them in the last rounds of allotment.

Still I request you to wait till the last rounds of allotment...there may be post allotment sessions also..keep checking your emails and stay updated.

All the best !

Hi Asoke Kumar Giri,

There is no official release of cutoffs by the IISERs that tell about the minimum marks in the IISER IAT test to get any seat in any IISER.

But there are certain trends that can be considered to predict the minimum marks.

So going through the trend of last year, you will need around 75–80 marks to get an offer letter at least from an IISER(I.e the newest IISERs Berhampur and Tirupati). 85–95 was the range for getting your (at least) 3rd or 4th preference. >95 was for your 1st or 2nd preference.( THIS IS IRRESPECTIVE OF CATEGORY RESERVATION)

It is suggested that you wait till the last rounds of allotment to track if you are offered a seat. Post allotment rounds also occur!

Hope this helps:)
