i got 5800 rank in OBC category in JEE advanced 2018. But did not qualify in General category. Can i get into IISER ???

Dear Pritam,



The Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) is the most premier institute of India in the field of science education & research. There are seven IISER institutions in India at Bhopal, Mohali, Kolkata, Pune, Berhampur, Tirupati, and Thiruvananthapuram. All IISERs offer a five years dual-degree program known as BS-MS Programme. Candidates can get admission in IISER from three ways: KVPY exam (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana), JEE Advanced exam and through IISER Aptitude Test 2018 (for state board toppers).



When it comes to IISER, things become complex, because it is increasingly growing in popularity due to the high Ph.D. success rates of their graduates. It is especially true for those of Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram as their students are placed in Princeton, UCLA, UCB, Cambridge, Oxford, Yale, MPU, etc. So, their cutoffs are exponentially increasing, though a more appropriate analysis would show a geometric increase.



the total number of seats available at IISER Pune is 256.



For the JEE Stream, a very unusual and truly marvelous increase in cutoff can be noticed. Bear in mind that these are not the ELIGIBILITY cutoff; these are the effective cutoffs to which Admission was offered:



2011  JEE Adv Rank 14,000

2012  JEE Adv Rank 13,000

2013  JEE Adv Rank 12,000

2014  JEE Adv rank 10,000

2015  JEE Adv rank 8500

2016 - JEE Adv Rank 6500

2017 - JEE Adv Rank 5800

So there is a very fair chance that you will get admission in IISER



Hope I have made my self clear



Thank You
