Commonly asked questions
IISER Marks vs Rank is generally the data interpretation of the candidates who had appeared in the IAT examination. Here, candidates will be able to know the expected AIR rank/ category rank that they will achieve based on the marks scored by them in the IISER examination.
IAT candidates' ranks are based on their combined scores from the four sections (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology). The exam comprises 60 questions with a total score of 240 marks.
In the event that there is fewer number of seats available under a particular category in an academic programme than the number of
candidates with the same category-wise rank seeking admission to the B.S. (Medical Sciences and Engineering) program, then all those candidates will be offered seats by creating requisite number of supernumerary seats.
The cutoff rank for IISER will be released online. Meanwhile, students can check the previous year cutoff of IISER to know what rank is required for admission.
