Which IISER will I get with a score of 119 in iat with obc reservation?

Ans: A score of 119 in IAT with OBC reservation places you within the 1,500–2,500 rank range for the OBC category, making IISER Berhampur and IISER Tirupati potential targets based on historical cutoffs. For instance, IISER Berhampur’s 2024 OBC closing rank was 1,634 (corresponding to ~145 marks), while IISER Tirupati closed at 1,461 for OBC (~154 marks), suggesting a borderline chance if 2025 cutoffs relax slightly. However, newer campuses like IISER Bhopal (OBC cutoff ~1,305 rank) and IISER Mohali (OBC cutoff ~1,332 rank) remain unlikely due to higher mark requirements. If seat vacancies arise during later counselling rounds, IISER Berhampur’s BS-MS program may become accessible, though admission is uncertain. As backups, consider NISER Bhubaneswar or CEBS Mumbai via the NEST exam, where OBC cutoffs historically align with ~90–110 marks, or explore state universities like Delhi University’s B.Sc. Research programs for comparable interdisciplinary training. Prioritize counselling participation while preparing for alternative entrance exams to secure robust STEM pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
