IISER IAT 2026 Result: Qualifying Marks
The IAT doesn't have a strict cut-off percentage to qualify. It works purely on a ranking system instead. As long as you score at least 1 mark, you will get an official rank. The rank that you’ll secure determines whether you are eligible for admission to participating IISERs during counselling.
- Anyone who scores at least 1 mark gets an Overall (Common) Rank.
- If you belong to a reserved category (like OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, or ST), you will get a separate Category Rank too.
- Just having a rank isn't enough; your rank needs to be within the cutoff to actually get a seat.
- In 2025, approx 70,000 candidates appeared, and 2,363 seats were available. The effective admission rate was around 3.3%.
IISER IAT 2026 Result: Expected Cutoff (Category-Wise)
The official IISER IAT cutoff 2026 will be released along with or shortly after the result declaration. The cutoff represents the closing rank at each IISER in each round of counselling.
Based on patterns from the last two years, here are the expected score ranges that would be considered competitive for 2026.
| Institute / Campus | General | OBC-NCL | EWS | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IISc Bangalore | 215–235 | 200–220 | 180–210 | 160–180 | 145–165 |
| IIT Madras (BS Programs) | 200–220 | 180–200 | 170–190 | 140–160 | 130–150 |
| IIT Guwahati (BS Program) | 180–200 | 160–180 | 160–180 | 130–150 | 120–150 |

| IISER Kolkata | 150–180 | 130–150 | 120–135 | 110–120 | 100–110 |
| IISER Mohali | 145–175 | 120–140 | 110–130 | 100–110 | 95–105 |
| IISER Bhopal | 140–170 | 115–135 | 105–125 | 95–115 | 90–110 |
| IISER Thiruvananthapuram | 130–160 | 110–130 | 100–120 | 90–110 | 85–105 |
| IISER Tirupati | 120–140 | 105–125 | 95–115 | 85–105 | 75–95 |
| IISER Berhampur | 110–130 | 95–110 | 90–110 | 80–100 | 70–90 |
Important: The 2025 IAT saw significant rank inflation — scores that previously yielded top-1000 ranks resulted in 4,000+ ranks in 2025. Students must not rely solely on older data and should aim higher to account for year-on-year competition growth.
IISER IAT 2026 Result: Marks vs Rank
This mark vs rank table is based on previous year data and is intended as a reference only– actual ranks may shift depending on exam difficulty and the number of candidates this year.
| Marks Scored (out of 240) | Expected AIR (General Category) | Likely Admission Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 200+ | 1 – 80 | Top IISERs (Pune, Kolkata) — First Round |
| 160 – 200 | 81 – 500 | IISER Pune, Kolkata, Bhopal, Mohali |
| 130 – 160 | 500 – 1,500 | IISER Bhopal, Mohali, Thiruvananthapuram |
| 110 – 130 | 1,500 – 3,000 | IISER Tirupati, Berhampur (later rounds) |
| 90 – 110 | 3,000 – 5,000+ | Borderline — depends on round and category |
| Below 90 | 5,000+ | Unlikely for any IISER in General category |
- Remember that IAT is scored out of 240, with 3 marks for each correct answer and a deduction of 1 mark for each wrong answer.
- Due to rank inflation, the safe zone for 2026 is generally considered to be 150 marks and above.

Ques. What is a good score in IISER IAT 2026 for top IISERs?
Ans. Based on 2025 trends, a score of 160 marks and above (out of 240) is generally considered a safe score for top IISERs like Pune, Kolkata, and Bhopal. For General category candidates, a score of 200+ places you in the top 80 ranks. However, since rank inflation has been observed in recent years, targeting 150+ is advisable even for mid-tier IISERs.
Ques. How many rounds of counselling are there in IISER IAT 2026?
Ans. Based on 2025 trends, around 8–9 rounds of seat allotment are conducted. Candidates who don't receive their preferred institute in earlier rounds can remain in the pool for subsequent rounds.

Ans. No. The IISER counselling portal is only for the seven participating IISERs. IISc Bangalore and IIT Madras have their own independent counselling processes for candidates who qualify through IAT scores.
Ques. How many seats are available through IAT 2026 across all participating institutes?

Ques. A candidate on Quora asked, “If I have gotten 1106 general category rank in IAT. Can I get into IISER Kolkata?”
div class="liv">Ans. Yes, you have an excellent chance of getting into IISER Kolkata; while you might miss it in Round 1 (which typically closes around rank ~500–900), you are highly likely to secure a seat in Round 2 or 3.
Ques. Can I get IISER with an 8000 rank?
Ans. Securing a seat with an 8000 rank is highly unlikely if you belong to the General category, as cutoffs typically close well before this mark. However, if you belong to a reserved category (like SC, ST, or PwD), you still stand a very strong chance of getting an allotment in the later rounds.
