IISER Mohali All Questions

SCB Channel

1. Students who have passed 10+2 level with science stream in 2019 or 2020 are eligible to apply for admissions and appear for IAT 2020.

However, you will be considered for admissions to the degree programmes only if you obtain the cut-off marks specified for your board.

2. Students applying through SCB channel will have to appear in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) which will be conducted at various centres across the country.

So if you have your 10+2 from NIOS then you can be considered as NIOS is also a recognized board.

It states that students who are coming to get admission through KVPY channel should also have got the board through which students have given board exam and category-wise IISER cutoff. Because many students give KVPY exam while they are studying in 11th nd 12th and they qualify and after that if the don't get the required marks in board exam as given by the IISER officials so they cannot get admission if they don't meet the cutoff according to officials

Hi There,

IISERs started taking apptitude test for Board students. Candidate to be in top 1% of their respective boards. Since every board is different, the marking strategies are also different in different boards.

Let us assume you write both exams and you happen to top both the exams. Even though you are the 1st rank holder in both boards, the % marks that you scored may be very different due to different marking strategy. Hence a state board cut-off  may be low or high compared to the central board.

For example Kerala’s board has similar figures compared to CBSE while that of Bihar usually much lower.

So, there is noting mysterious. You are compared with your fellow board students. If you score well enough to be in top 1% or less in your board, you become eligible to take the aptitude test.

Hello Mate....

If your examination board for 12th is tripura, jharkhand, Gujarat, Mizoram , Uttarakhand and meghalaya states because according to previous year's cutoff for these states the cutoff is around 61 through the SCB channel 50% of the seats are reserved for candidates qualifying the IISER aptitude test.

Hello Nishank!

Yes, basically a post allotment round for the IISERs takes place after the registration of the other candidates admitted through the previous allocation rounds is completed in their respective IISERs. It is pretty similar to mop up round as it is done to fill the left out seats only.

There is no particular procedure for this allotment round. The list of wait listed candidates are released in the official website. Thus, you have to set your hawk eyes on the website regularly or else you may miss necessary updates. You will be given a short period of time to pay the SAF fees and to exercise the float option. The call letter is received via registered email. The procedure is exactly similar to that of previous rounds of allotment.

However, the post allotment session did not happen the previous year(i.e 2019). But such mop up round did happen in 2018 and 2017 for the SCB stream. This year it may or may not happen keeping in mind the rank inflation in NEET and JEE.
