Indian Institute of Science Eligibility

Apart from the IAT (Integrated Aptitude Test), the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) is also admitting students through the following channels:

1. KVPY Channel (discontinued since 2022) - now not an option for admission.
2. JEE Advanced Channel: If you possess a valid JEE Advanced rank under the relevant cutoff, you may get admission.
3. SCB Channel: Admission based on a candidate's 10+2 marks in Science stream and the CUET-UG score (which was recently introduced as a score for some IISERs ).

The channels may vary yearly, so always refer to the official IISER admission portal.
