IISER Mohali Ph.D Courses & Fees 2025

Hello

When choosing between IISER Pune and RV College of Engineering (RVCE), it's not just about which one is "better"—it's about aligning with your career goals and interests.

• Choose IISER Pune if you're passionate about pure science, research, and academics.

• Choose RVCE if you're aiming for a strong engineering degree, especially in CS/IT, with excellent placement opportunities and industry exposure.

• IISER Pune offers a vibrant science-culture, clubs, and meaningful inter-IISER exchanges But placements are limited—most students prefer MS/Ph.D. trajectories .

• RVCE students enjoy balance: strong academics and robust extracurriculars in Bangalore’s innovation ecosystem.

Hello Aspirant,

Typically the suitability testing admit card (IAT-IISER Amplitude Test) is generated online and there is no expectation that you place a picture on the card after printing it off. The picture that you uploaded while you completed the form will be printed directly on the admission card so there should be no requirement for a separate passport photo on the printed one, at least that is how it is normally done.

Anyway, make sure you check the official instructions that came with the admit card on May 15. If they do require a physical picture to stick on the admission card they will clearly mention it. If the application uses your one passport photo for NEET then you may want to think about scanning and printing a digital copy if you do have to stick a picture on your admission card, in the event of such an emergency.

hi,

If your son is from the General category and is aiming for IISER Berhampur in 2025, here’s what you should know. Last year (2024), students who got a rank up to around 4400 in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) were able to get into IISER Berhampur. So, if he gets a rank under 4500, there's a very good chance he can get a seat.

Now, every year the cutoff can change a bit depending on how many students apply, how well they perform, and how many seats are available. But generally, if he’s serious about research and preparing well, he should aim for a rank below 4000 to be on the safer side for Berhampur and maybe even other IISERs.
