The late date to accept the seat offered by the respective IISER is August 9, 2024, till 5 pm. In the IISER 2024 Seat allotment process, candidates need to check the offer letter first, and if they have received any offer from any of the IISERs, then they have two options.
- If a candidate receives an admission offer, he/she can either choose to accept the seat OR reject it by not taking any action. If the candidate rejects the offered seat or if no action is taken by the candidate before the deadline, then the candidate will not be able to participate in further rounds of counselling. The candidate will be eliminated from the counselling process.
- If a candidate receives an offer, then to "Accept & Float" or to "Accept & Freeze", the student must pay a seat acceptance fee through online mode before the prescribed deadline. If the seat acceptance fee is not paid, the candidate will not be considered for admission in subsequent allocation rounds.
