Hey aspirant
It is not the case. Even if you have a PCB background, you can be admitted to the IISERs. However, keep in mind that the IISER aptitude test includes math, which accounts for 25% of the total, so it is a good idea to do it in the exam because it will increase your overall score.
I hope I was able to clear up your confusion.
All the best
