IISER Kolkata All Questions

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

Hello,

Candidates need to secure a minimum of 60% marks/equivalent grades in Honors/Major (if applicable) in aggregate, or 60% marks/equivalent grades in aggregate (if Honors/Major is not applicable), And 50% for other category than general category like SC,ST and other category.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

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.

Hope this helps

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to take admission in the college and the seat matrix of the college.

There are 200 seats in Pune and about 20 are reserved for EWS candidates.

Going by this trend we can say that you have a good chance of getting into Pune campus in further rounds.

Keep in mind that Pune is one of the most preferred branches of IISER and hence is highly competitive so there might a lower chance of people dropping the seat in Pune.

So, please be prepared to go to IISER Kolkata as well.

Hope this helps.

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it depends on the number of students willing to take admission in the college and the seat matrix.

There are about 1700 seats in IISER and about 1300 are reserved for IAT Candidates. Looking at this trend we can say that you have a really good chance of getting into IISER.

IISER Kolkata is one of the  most preferred IISERs and hence it might be slightly difficult to get into it. You have a really good chance of getting IISER TVM or Mohali. You might get Kolkata in the last or post allotment rounds.

We do not have any official cutoff details from IISERs and hence the predictions are based on the previous year observed trends.

Hope this helps.

Hello Priyajit. You mentioned you belong to GEN-EWS category and that you want to know whether you may get admission in IISER, Kolkata on the basis of your JEE Advanced result.

Hi

Once the correction window is closed they don't allow any changes so you will have to stick with whatever you have filled in right now. Moreover all IISERs are equally good. You can try your luck in counselling though.

All the best!

Hello dear

So basically there is no much difference between NISER and IISER , both are very good in all perspectives.

But as you  highlighted research in physics, you must opt the one which would help to give a great outcome at the end .

I'll tell the difference only keeping in mind - physics department

At IISER ,students will follow a common curriculum for the first 2years and then start to specialize ,whereas  at NISER students start to specialize in their second year .

The physics department at NISER is really very good and can expect very good outcome, if there is a  hardwork from your side.

But at the end it's your choice, both are good ,only when physics matters for researching NISER has good physics faculty compared to IISER .

Any queries drop down in the comment box

Good luck !
