Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] + Master of Science [M.Sc] [Chemistry]

I applied for St. Pauls' College in Kolkata and Presidency University and I was selcted in their lists. I was thinking of taking a drop for applying to ISI, but my IAT results were good enough to get me placed here. Since I am interested in mathematics research, and this college was pretty close to West Bengal, I chose it since IISERS already have a good repuations for being elite for research in India. While Presidency could have been good for Mathematics, I only managed to get a seat in Physics there instead, and since the first two years of IISER have multi-discliplinary studies, I decided to join lest I change my opinion on my majors later. The admission for this college is primarily done by the IAT exams, which is the preferred way. Students can also apply via JEE Advanced, but this pathway is not as popular. When I was selected, only droppers upto first year and recent high school graduates could apply. Several rounds of admissions are held, where there is a cutoff rank for getting into any of the IISERS. The lowest it went arounf my time was around rank 3000. The admission is pretty much completed in a single day, and while long, is conducted more or less swiftly....Read More

From the 8th standard, I have been interested to stude in either NISER or IISER. I had made up my mind since then that I would do research in any of the fields. So, I gave the entrance test for both IISER (IAT) and NISER (NESt). I was not selected in NISER. I managed to get a seat in IISER. among the seven IISERs, I chose IISER Berhampur because it was the closest from my native place and it's campus plan was the best of all the IISERs. I also gave JEE and NEET like any other student. I could have even enrolled in a good engineering college, but I was hoping to find a seat here. The results of IAT and Nest were far later than JEE. I was ready to take a drop for the next time if my selection didn't happen. But seccessfully i was selected on my first attempt and came to IISER Berhampur. Well, IISER recruits students from a test named IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) which is a competitive exam just like JEE or NEET. It is a computer based test (CBT). The questions are from 12th standard Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. Eligibility criteria- Must secure atleast 60% marks in 12th board exams. For those with PCB or PCM there is an option to take paper only in their respective subjects. Like a student with PCB won't get questions on Mathematics and vice-versa...Read More
