How do I fill my IAT 2026 registration form since I am a repeater and I gave my 12th boards in 2024 from PCB stream but I would be given seperate isolated maths boards exam in 2026. So, how do i fill the registration from cause i won't be getting 2026 marksheet during from registration and i gave IAT last year in 2025 as well. And would i be eligible for IISc?
Ans: Hi
Yes, you are eligible.
For IAT 2026, candidates can apply if they: Passed Class 12 in 2024 or 2025, or Are appearing in 2026.
Year of passing Class XII:
Select 2024
Qualifying exam marks:
Enter the marks from your 2024 PCB marksheet
Mathematics status:
You can mention Mathematics not studied in original Class XII if the form asks subject-wise marks.
About the 2026 isolated Maths exam: It is not required during registration.
If you later receive the marksheet, you can upload it during document verification or counselling.
Even if a candidate’s result is pending, they are allowed to apply and submit documents later.
For the BSc (Research) program at the Indian Institute of Science, the eligibility requires:
Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main subjects.
Therefore: If you only have PCB (no maths in 12th)
You cannot get IISc admission through IAT.

My daughter is giving her cbse class XII exams,she is interested to pursue her career in chemical engineering.Pls tell me the colleges in India who have best faculties & good placement record.Also pls tell me the pros & cons and prospect of pursuing chemical engineering.
Ans: Hello Subikram
The best are IITs. Then ICT Mumbai is one of the oldest and best for Chemical. Then comes NITs, BITS, VIT, Manipal etc.
Pros: Wide industry scope like oil, pharma, food, energy etc.
High demand in core industries: Refineries, petrochemicals, and pharmaceutical companies.
Cons:
Core jobs can be location-specific. Many chemical plants are located in industrial zones (not big cities).
Fewer core jobs compared to CS/IT. Core chemical roles are limited compared to IT placements.
In some jobs you may work in: factories, refineries, chemical plants
Higher studies or specialization often improves career growth.
But in future scope is there. Green energy. Hydrogen fuel technology. Battery technology. Environmental engineering.

Hi,
I have recently applied for the NIOS On-Demand Exam for a subject and have already received my enrollment number and hall ticket.
However, I have now decided not to appear for the On-Demand exam.
Instead, I would like to apply for the NIOS Public Examination in October 2026 under Stream 1 Block 2 and appear for five subjects to obtain a full class 12 certificate.
When I tried to apply for the Public Exam, the system showed that my email ID is already registered, so I am unable to proceed with a new admission.
I understand that the fee for the On-Demand exam will not be refunded, which is completely fine.
Could you please guide me on the following:
1. Is it possible to cancel my existing On-Demand exam registration so that I can apply for Stream 1 Block 2 admission using the same email ID? Or....
2. Can I create a new admission using a different email ID and phone number to apply for the October 2026 Public Examination? Will this cause any issue with NIOS records?
I would appreciate your guidance on the correct procedure.
Thank you.
Ans: Hi
Create a fresh admission using:
A different email ID
A different mobile number

We have Delhi Home State Quota. With this percentile, IIITD seems difficult. I would like to know your expert thought for college to target with this percentile.

If you’re seriously inclined towards Mathematics + research, and you’re looking for a strong alternative to the usual BTech/BE route after JEE, then IISER Pune is actually one of the BEST options in India.
IISER Pune (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research) is not an engineering college.
It’s a pure research-oriented institute, closer in spirit to IISc Bangalore.
