I have secured 80 marks in IAT 2025, will I get IISER in OBC category
Ans: Rishabh, Scoring 80 in IAT 2025 places an OBC-NCL candidate just above the expected cutoff of 75–85 marks, making admission to newer IISERs like Berhampur and Tirupati feasible where OBC-NCL cutoffs range between 85–90 and 90–95 respectively in early rounds. IISER Thiruvananthapuram (95–100) and Mohali (95–100) remain marginal, while higher?threshold campuses—Bhopal (100–105), Pune (105–110) and Kolkata (100–105)—are unlikely at this score unless cutoffs dip in later counselling. Participation across all rounds with top priorities set to IISER Berhampur and Tirupati maximizes allocation chances, listing Thiruvananthapuram contingently. Recommendation: Choose IISER Berhampur or Tirupati first, with Thiruvananthapuram as a secondary preference. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
