Hello,


Let’s take a closer look at your situation. With a score of 98 marks in the IAT and your General EWS (male) category status, you’re positioned reasonably well—particularly for IISER Tirupati and Thiruvananthapuram (TVM).


Historically, these two institutes have posted cutoffs for the General EWS category in the 95–105 range. This puts your score right in the competitive mix, especially as the seat allocation process moves into the second and third rounds. Statistically speaking, Tirupati appears more attainable, while Thiruvananthapuram is possible, though perhaps a touch more competitive. Meanwhile, options like IISER Berhampur might present even better odds. On the other hand, IISER Pune and Kolkata are quite competitive for your score and category—realistically, it’s challenging to expect admission there without a significant change in cutoff trends.


It’s important to keep your choices broad. Make sure to include all possible IISERs in your preference list to maximize your chances. Also, regularly monitor the counselling portal and make use of float/slide options where available.


If you require guidance on filling out choices or staying updated on counselling rounds, our team at Careers360 can assist you.


Wishing you the very best with your admission process.

hi,

With 98 marks in IAT 2025 and being in the General EWS category, your chances of getting a seat in IISER Tirupati or IISER Thiruvananthapuram seem a bit low because usually the cutoff for these institutes is higher, especially for the EWS category. Sometimes the cutoff varies depending on how many students appeared and the overall difficulty of the exam, but generally, the safe scores are a little above your mark. Still, you might have some chances in the newer IISERs where the cutoffs can be slightly lower.

As an OBC-NCL PwD candidate for IISER TVM via IAT 2025, you should aim for around 100–110 marks out of 240 to have a good chance.

Cutoffs vary yearly, but this range is generally competitive. Also, you need at least 55% in Class XII aggregate for eligibility.

Hello Aspirant,

Congratulations on your great result. The simple answer to your question will be a YES. Yes, you can get IISER TVM at a rank of 2017. Last year the cutoff for IISER TVM was around 2600. So you can get this college according to the previous trends. However, this is a prediction, so you should wait for the official allotment procedure.

Hello aspirant, 

There is an eligible criteria to qualify IAT and get admission in IISER. It is as, you must have rank with in 10,000 in common rank list if you are of general category. But if you are of any of reserved category then you must have rank within 10,000 in reserved category list. Also, you must have at least 55% in 10+2 or equivalent exam. 

Hope it helped!

Good Luck. 

If you are a non General student (OBC,SC,ST,Pwd) you will for sure get a good seat in IISER.

Although if you are General Category student, then you need to wait for further rounds in counselling. People getting 76-79 marks gets admitted in Bhopal.

Thus you can expect it and might get Behrampur for sure.

If you have any further query then feel free to comment.
