Hey pooja!!

No, Biology is not necessary and compulsory in the IISER examination.

But problem is that as competition is increasing rapidly amongst the candidates. Hence,  scoring high is top priority of the students to get into IISER. As biology is not compulsory but it do effect on the total marks thats outs of 180.

Since the common subjects i.e. chemistry and physics are not that much tough that's why lot of candidates can score well in that. Hence, you will be expected to score well also in your specific subject whether it's biology or Maths.

In this scenario, to have edge over others you have to take some points from the biology to have advantage over others. Since biology section is anyway not that difficult (atleast not all the questions are tough), it is advisable to invest the last couple of months before the exam in reading up the NCERT 11th and 12th grade biology textbooks, or some online stuff ( I will mention link below ) ,so as to understand some of the essential concepts which will help you get atleast some questions right.

Its pretty much worth the effort, since its quite likely that with a decent prep (not too much) you should score reasonably well in bio. Hence, it would be advisable to go for the same, just to boost your own chances of getting an IISER of your choice.

Hope it helps,

Good luck!!


Hi Gauri,

There are other options because obviously result will be out in the mid of May.

What you can do is contact the officials and check if they can accept the Pre-boards result which you had in Jan or Dec most probably.

Or you can ask if they accept Mid term class 12 result in case you haven't given you Pre-boards.

Good Luck !!!

Hi,


If you are applying through SCB (State and Central Boards) channel, you will have to appear in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT). IISERs do not release cutoffs, you just get to know whether you are selected or not. But according to estimates, for general category students, a score of 110/180 is good enough to get in IISER Pune and Kolkata. To get into other IISERs like Berhampur, Bhopal, Mohali, Thiruvananthapuram and Tirupati, a student has to score atleast 70/180.


You will also have to pass 10+2 exam with science stream in 2018/19 and clear the board cutoff. Check your board cutoff at the official site: https://www.iiseradmission.in/eligibility/#E480.


Hope this helps.

Cheers!

HELLO

No it is not. Even if you are student of PCB background then also you can get admitted into IISERs. But remember for IISER aptitude test you have maths, which is 25% of total, so it is good do it in exam because it will increase your marks in exam..

HOPE IT HELPS.
