Academics

The curriculum here is kind of open. Teachers decide the location of the course by observing students' status. You are welcome to question everything the teacher says (if you're not being annoying? ). The faculty members are good (not so good, if I remember my first semester). But in the second semester, the faculty members are amazing.

Academic is quite rigour, Bad placement.

Have a question related to IISER Kolkata ?

What may be maximum rank in iat 2025 to join iiser,kolkata??

Hi,

For IISER Kolkata, the maximum rank required to secure admission can vary each year based on the number of applicants and the difficulty of the exam. However, based on previous year a rank around 883 in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2024. might be a good benchmark for general category candidates

my general rank in iiser is around 16000 and my ews rank is around 900 can i get iiser kolkata by any chance

Dear Aspirant,

The exact admission situation depends on a number of unpredictable factors like the preferences of students, the number of students willing to take admission and the seat matrix of the college.

There are about 1300 seats for candidates entering via IAT and about 130 seats are reserved for EWS candidates

Looking at this data we can say that you have a decent chance of getting into Tirupati, Berhampur and a small chance of getting into TVM, Mohali campus.

Kolkata is one of the most preferred campuses and hence it is quite difficult to get into IISER Kolkata.

Please check the link below for more details.
