IISER Pune : an overview

I chose IISER Pune over NIT Surat because of its dedicated focus on pure sciences and research. While NIT Surat offers a strong engineering program, IISER Pune’s interdisciplinary curriculum and research-driven approach align better with my career goals in science.

For admission you have to give an exam IAT for doing BSMS which is compulsory for all iiser. And I like it because there is some other way by which we can go into a tier 1 college by other exam not by jee or neet like things. The application mainly start in april and form available till end of april. you have to fill it on the IAT site and the exam has fee nearly 2000 rupees. Also there is same reservation pattern as in the central govt. exams, so it is not a big issue. The cutoff for iiser pune is nearly 120 out 240 marks as i gave the exam last year. It vary year to year. The cutoff is different for different iiser. Also IISER PUNE selects only 270 student of the total qualified number which nearly about 5k.

When I searched for colleges offering research courses after 12th, IISERs are easily one of the finest options alongside IISc, NISER, etc. The admission process in IISERs consist of 3 channels, SCB, KVPY and JEE. I got through the SCB channel, wherein an entrance exam called IAT is conducted by the JAC of IISERs. There are suitable criterias for eligibility, and then students are selected through their ranks in IAT which has portions of Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology. The selection occurs by allotting students a choice among the 7 IISERs with some distinct courses based on their preference order by the student via a 3 or more rounds of Counselling. The JEE and KVPY channel also takes students the same way, only difference is that the JEE and KVPY channel 8s reserved for 50% of total intake together, while the SCB has 50% intake for itself....Read More
