IISER Entrance Exam

There is specific cut off given for every board. I think, with this percentage you are eligible for IISER.

Yes, of course! 1st year B.Sc students can apply for IISER either through KVPY SX stream or through the SCB channel.

Yes, you are eligible for IISER. I have several students in my batch who are from PCB background. Of course, one always benefits of having studied PCMB till 12th. However, in our institute, in the 1st year, the students are encouraged to pick up courses from PCMB and EES as well. Hence, it would be good if one learns a little math or biology before coming to the institute in case you have not done it in 11th and 12th.

All subjects given in the syllabus is compulsory including Biology. This is the syllabus of the exam:

Hi there,
Well, yes you can write KVPY 2019 provided you have the required minimum percentage in your class 12th i.e. 60% and you must have had a minimum of 60% in your class 10th. Also, you need to be from the science stream and the minimum percentage must be from your science subjects including physics chemistry and maths/bio.

Hi Deekshitha!

Yes, you can sit for the aptitude test. You should fulfil all other criteria for the exam. Go to the official website of IISER and kindly look over it.
All the best.

Yes, you can sit for KVPY-SX. KVPY has two sections, each section has 4 parts or subjects, Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. You can attempt any three subjects in the first section and any two subjects in the second section. If you are studying both, biology and mathematics, you can attempt all the four subjects and the best of three will be selected. This is applicable only for students currently studying in class 12th, ie, KVPY- SX.

If you want to do engineering and want to appear in JEE, then you should have mathematics in 12th class. Medical students can not apply for it. If you want to do engineering, then you have to repeat your class 12th by giving only Maths exam, after that you would be eligible for giving JEE Mains. All the best.
