IISER Entrance Exam Counselling Process
IISER seat allotment in the BS-MS programme for the academic session 2025-26 is done as per the process mentioned below:
Check IISER First-Round Allotment List
Once the IISER result is declared, a seat allotment list is declared containing roll numbers of candidates who are allocated seats in the BS-MS programme. Candidates can check the first round allotment list on the official website of the exam.
Download IISER Offer Letter
All candidates whose roll numbers appear in the first round allotment list need to log in to their application portal to download the offer letters.
Pay IISER Seat Acceptance Fee
Next, candidates can accept the offer sent to them only after they pay the prescribed seat acceptance fee (SAF) by the stipulated date and time. Payment of SAF also confirms that a candidate intends to join one of the IISERs.
Check IISER Second Round Allotment List
After the first list, the institute also releases a second round allotment list containing roll numbers of candidates who are either allocated a seat in any of the IISERs or floated in the SCB second round.
Thereafter, candidates can repeat the process of downloading the offer letter and paying the SAF mentioned above to confirm their admission.
Note: The official website states, “If your application number was there in the first round and not here, then it means that you are not floated and your original offer is valid. If your application number appears both in the first and second rounds, it means that you have been floated to an IISER of your higher preference, and this allocation is only valid.”
After the confirmation of admission, all candidates can report to their allotted IISERs as per the prescribed schedule along with the prescribed documents.
