Sir can i get IISc in 2026 IAT. I have studied nothing till now .I will start the syllabus. If yes then please guide. Also please tell about tie breaking policy of IAT

Ans: Admission to the four-year BSc (Research) program at IISc Bangalore via the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2026 requires candidates to have passed the Class XII examination in 2024, 2025, or 2026 with at least three science subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Biology, with a minimum of 60% aggregate for General category (55% for SC/ST/PwD). Candidates should ensure they have completed at least three subjects among Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics and upload supporting documents during application. Registration opens annually in January, closing around March on the IAT portal, with admit cards made available two weeks prior to the May exam. The IAT is a 180-minute computer-based test comprising 60 multiple-choice questions—15 each from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology—totaling 240 marks with +4 for correct answers and –1 for incorrect ones, and no negative for unattempted questions. In IAT 2025, the closing marks for IISc Bangalore fell near 200, thus aspirants should target 210–220 to comfortably secure a rank within the top 20 and remain competitive amidst rising applicant numbers. Preparation should encompass a structured study plan spanning 10–12 months, focusing first on NCERT textbooks for foundational concepts, followed by solving past IAT and JEE problems to develop speed and accuracy, with weekly mock tests to track progress. The IAT tie-breaking policy resolves equal scores by comparing subject performances sequentially: candidates with higher Biology scores rank higher, followed by Chemistry, then Physics, and if still tied, older candidates receive preference. Diligent adherence to this regimen, combined with a thorough understanding of the syllabus and exam pattern, will optimize one’s position in the merit list and improve chances of admission to IISc Bangalore.

Recommendation: Begin immediate preparation with a structured 12-month study plan covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. Use NCERT textbooks as core resources, supplement with past IAT/JEE Advanced questions, and undertake weekly timed mock tests. Register promptly when applications open, ensure timely document uploads, and familiarise yourself with the tie-breaking policy. Aim for a minimum score of 210–220 to secure admission to IISc Bangalore, and maintain consistent, focused effort throughout your preparation. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
