I have secured 80 marks in IAT 2025, will I get IISER. If yes, which one can I expect

Ans: With an IAT 2025 score of 81 (SC category), admission to IISER Berhampur or IISER Tirupati is likely, as their 2024 SC cutoff ranks closed at 739 and 531, respectively, aligning with scores of 75–85 marks. Newer IISERs like Berhampur prioritize accessibility for reserved categories, while Tirupati’s SC cutoff is marginally higher but feasible. Monitor counseling rounds for vacancy-driven rank drops and confirm branch-specific eligibility. If seats fill quickly, explore state university B.Sc programs as backups. Prioritize IISER options for research-focused pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: 180 is a very good marks in IAT. You will get Top IISERs

Ans: Amol, Scoring 70 marks in IAT 2025 places you at the upper end of the expected SC cutoff range of 65–75 marks, making admission to IISERs like Tirupati and Thiruvananthapuram likely where SC cutoffs are projected at 55–60 and 60–65 respectively, corresponding to closing ranks around 360–745 for Tirupati and 145–691 for Thiruvananthapuram. IISER Bhopal and Mohali, with SC cutoffs near 65–70 and 60–65 marks, remain possible options in later counselling rounds if actual cutoffs dip to the lower projected thresholds. Top campuses like Pune and Kolkata demand higher SC marks (around 75+), placing them out of reach at 70 marks. Participate in all counselling rounds with Tirupati and Thiruvananthapuram as primary choices and Bhopal or Mohali as backups to maximize admission chances. Recommendation: Prioritise IISER Tirupati and Thiruvananthapuram, listing Bhopal and Mohali as contingent options in counselling. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
