Dear Aspirant, technically yes you can join iiser if you have a sufficient rank in kvpy. But you have to study four becic science subjects in the first year. So you please think about it that you can study or not.

Hii Roby,

yes, you can. If you are able to secure a sufficient rank in the KVPY. You can join IISER regardless of your subject combination. I have also heard of people getting in through their aptitude test, by either guessing or skipping the section they didn't no. However, that path might not work now, with the increase in number of applications.

Also keep in mind that you will have to learn the four basic sciences again in your first year. If you don't think you can do that, you should look for a local college, which suits your requirements.

ALL THE BEST!!
