One of the most beautiful campus in india

I applied for two colleges and got those two too. I got for bsc chemistry in one of them, which I was not interested in. And biochemistry in other. I didn't choose any of those because I wanted a integrated degree and wanted to study in an institute of national importance. That's why I chose this institute. I applied for two and got those too. I wrote many entrances for practice. Then at last I give IAT EXAM for iiser admission. In my times there was three channels (KVPY, IAT, JEE ) to enter iiser. I entered through iat channel. Iat means IISER aptitude test. The mark of this exam is not provided on the rank card. For the rank cutoff I will say it will be around AIR 2000 for general category. This information is regarding the IAT 2023...Read More

IISER TVM through my eyes

There was a written exam that was MCQ and online proctored exam. After clearing that written test, candidates were called for online interview round 1 and if one cleared that, there was another round 2. After clearing all these three steps, candidates were provisionally selected. Let me mention one thing here that all these processes were online from home and well proctored while web cam was on whole time. One can easily find the application form that is activated in the month of March-April and last date is usually 30th April, exam is conducted in month of May and interview in June. Application fee was 1000? as far as I remember....Read More
