I scored 60 marks in iat, sc category any IISERs possible?

Ans: Your 60 marks in IISER IAT 2025 under SC category provides extremely limited admission prospects as the score falls significantly below minimum cutoff requirements across all IISER campuses, with even the most accessible IISER Berhampur requiring 80-90 marks for SC candidates and your expected rank above 2000 exceeding all published closing ranks. While SC category benefits from 15% seat reservation, the cutoff marks remain competitive ranging from 80-125 marks across different IISERs, with IISER Pune requiring 115-125 marks and newer campuses like Berhampur needing 80-90 marks minimum for SC admission. Historical data shows final round closing ranks extending to 739-4484 at various IISERs, but corresponding marks remain substantially higher than your 60 marks achievement, making admission possibilities extremely remote despite multiple counselling rounds. Recommendation: Participate in all IISER counselling rounds as a precautionary measure while simultaneously exploring alternative science programs at state universities and consider reappearing for IAT next year with enhanced preparation targeting 90+ marks for realistic SC category admission prospects at IISER institutions. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
