NISER - National Institute of Science Education and Research

NISER uses the score of IIT JAM Biotechnology (BT) to select Integrated MSc-PhD in Biological Sciences. Although they do not have a specific cutoff rank to be directly admitted as well, an extremely high JAM BT rank is required to get shortlisted and subsequently have an interview as this is a very important step in their selection. Ordinarily, the higher the candidate ranks in JAM BT in the top few hundred in the General category, the greater the prospects of this candidate getting an interview call. In NISER, the ultimate selection is done with holistic evaluation, which incorporates academic record and performance in interview besides the JAM score.
