I got 70 marks in IAT 2025 (sc category, male). Will I get any IISER?
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!
