IISER BHOPAL:- Towards the goal of your science dreams

9.2Helpful

We can get the iiser from 3 ways - jee advanced, kvpy, IAT exam. I have the IAT exam in 2020, before it we have to fill out the application form (In March), and for it, we have to pay 2000/- rs for UR categories. For the dates and other information, we can go iiser admission site. There will be reservation benefits also in ranking. One thing is that iiser doesn't disclose the rank and marks, the release only list selected applicants for counseling rounds.
