- Click on the Round 5 Seat Allotment link.
- Log in using your application number and password.
- Check the allotted IISER and programme displayed on the dashboard.
- Download and save the allotment letter for future reference.
Candidates should also check the campus-wise and programme-wise closing ranks released for Round 5 to understand the level of competition and seat movement.
How to Accept an Allotted Seat?
Candidates who receive a seat must complete the acceptance process through their counselling dashboard before the deadline.
- Log in to the IISER admissions portal.
- Review the allotted institute and programme carefully.
- Select the applicable willingness option, where available.
- Pay the Seat Acceptance Fee online.
- Download the payment receipt and allotment letter for future use.
The last date to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee is August 26, 2026. Candidates who fail to complete payment within the stipulated period may lose their allotted seat and may not be considered for subsequent counselling rounds, subject to the official counselling rules.
What Do the Round 5 Cutoffs Indicate?
The Round 5 closing ranks show the last rank at which a seat was allotted for each IISER and programme. These cutoffs can help candidates understand how much movement has taken place since earlier counselling rounds.
Seats at highly preferred campuses and programmes may fill quickly, while vacancies can emerge in later rounds when candidates withdraw or choose other institutions. Candidates should rely on the official Round 5 closing-rank data rather than assumptions about seat availability.
Round 5 is the first of the spot rounds in IISER counselling. It often decides final admissions at the newer campuses. Candidates on the waitlist should track this round closely for movement.
