Hello,
A student can appear twice for the SCB exam, once in the year of completing the 12th grade and second time in year following that.
However there are other ways as well to take admission in IISERs. You can appear for KVPY (if you fulfill the eligibility criteria) and if you are able clear it, you have eligible to apply for IISERs.
Hope this helps you out.
Good luck!
