What is IISER 2025 Counselling?

The IISER 2025 Counselling process started from June 26, 2025, at 5 pm onwards for the candidates who got AIR rank/Category rank in IISER Aptitude Test 2025. Interested candidates were allowed to register for admissions from June 26, 2025, to July 3, 2025. Based on the availability of seats and number of registrations made in the counselling, the IISER 2025 seat allotment list will be released.

There will be four rounds of the IAT 2025 admission list, which will be released based on the seats that remained vacant in the previous rounds.

IISER seat allotment in the BS-MS programme for the academic session 2025-2026 is done as per the process mentioned below:

Step 1: 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 through different channels (SCB, KVPY, JEE). Candidates can check the first round allotment list on the official website of the exam.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: 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 is intending to join one of the IISERs.

Step 4: 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 SAF mentioned above to confirm their admission.

It is quite difficult for the GEN / OBC category to get admission to IISER with 50 marks. Even the reserved category students have less chance in the later counelling round for admission. To secure admission, students must score above 150 marks.
