I got 13000 rank in IAT,Is there any possibility of me getting an iiser?

Ans: No

Ans: Rahaman, With a general category IAT rank of 13,901, admission to any IISER—including the newer campuses like Berhampur and Tirupati—is not possible. Recent and expected cutoffs show that the closing rank for general category candidates at IISER Berhampur, the least competitive IISER, is around 3,800–4,400, while other IISERs have even lower closing ranks for general category seats. The total number of seats across all IISERs is about 2,363, and historical data consistently confirms that general category admissions close well before 5,000 in all rounds, even after spot rounds. Your rank is significantly beyond the safe or borderline range, and no precedent exists for general category admissions at this rank in any IISER over the past years.

recommendation: Admission to any IISER is not possible at a general category rank of 13,901; focus on alternative science or engineering institutes, state universities, or private colleges to continue your academic journey without delay. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With an IAT rank of 7300, getting into an IISER (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research) is unlikely for the general category, particularly for the main BS-MS dual degree program. The competition for IISER admissions is very high, and closing ranks, especially for the general category, are typically much lower.

Ans: Ayat, With an overall IAT rank of 8,687 in the SC category, your chances of getting admission to any IISER are extremely low. Recent official cutoffs show that even the most accessible IISERs—such as Berhampur, Tirupati, and Thiruvananthapuram—closed SC category admissions around 950–1,000 in the final rounds for 2024 and are expected to remain similar or slightly higher in 2025. The typical SC cutoff for most IISERs ranges from 300 to 1,000, with top campuses like Pune and Kolkata closing below 300–500. Even with relaxed marks criteria for SC candidates (expected cutoff 65–75 marks), your rank is far beyond the last admitted candidate in recent years. All IISERs maintain high standards in faculty, labs, research, industry partnerships, and placements, but these are accessible only within the published cutoffs.

Recommendation: Admission to any IISER is not possible with an SC category rank of 8,687; focus on alternative science programs at state universities, central universities, or private institutes where your rank and academic interests can be better matched for quality science education and research opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
