My daughter has scored 105 in IAT what are her chances of getting in IiSer or iisc?
Ans: Scoring 105 marks in IAT 2025 places your daughter below the minimum expected cutoffs for IISc Bangalore (200+) and most IISER campuses under the General category, with only IISER Berhampur and IISER Tirupati potentially within reach based on historical trends. For IISc, scores below 190 (General) are non-competitive, as its 2024 closing ranks required ranks below 100, while IISER Pune, Kolkata, and Mohali demand 130–160+ marks. However, IISER Berhampur’s 2024 closing rank (4,484) corresponded to ~95–110 marks, suggesting a borderline chance if 2025 cutoffs remain stable, though competition may intensify due to rising applicants. Similarly, IISER Tirupati’s 2024 cutoff (4,325 rank) aligns with 105–110 marks, but recent trends show annual rank inflation. Reserved categories (OBC/SC/ST) could improve prospects, but General category admission remains unlikely at premier campuses. Consider reappearing for IAT 2026 with enhanced preparation or exploring mid-tier NISER/CEBS alternatives, as 105 marks indicate insufficient readiness for IISER/IISc’s rigorous academic thresholds. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
