IISERs Introduce IAT 2024: New Admission Criteria By Conducting Own Entrance Test

IISERs Introduce IAT 2024

Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) have ushered in a significant change in their admission process. Instead of relying on JEE scores, they will now conduct their entrance test named the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT 2024) for admission to their BS-MS (Dual Degree) and four-year BS degree programs. Aspiring candidates eyeing a spot at esteemed institutions such as IISER Berhampur, Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, Pune, Thiruvananthapuram, and Tirupati must register for the IAT 2024 through the official website, iiseradmission.in.

The application window will remain open until 13th May 2024, with the entrance examination scheduled for 9th June 2024. Notably, Indian citizens, Persons of Indian Origin (PIO), Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), and Foreign Nationals are all eligible to apply for the IAT 2024.

In line with the revised admission criteria, only scores from the IAT 2024 will be considered for admissions to IISERs. Previous methods involving Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) and IIT-Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced scores will no longer be applicable for IISER 2024 UG admission. Moreover, applicants who have completed the Class 12 or equivalent examination in the science stream between 2022 to 2024, with a minimum of 60% marks for general candidates and 55% for SC, ST, and PwD categories, are eligible to apply for IAT 2024.

Renowned for its advanced research facilities and multidisciplinary educational approach, IISERs provide students with unparalleled opportunities for academic growth and exploration. Through rigorous academic programs and collaboration with prominent scientists and researchers, students delve into cutting-edge research across various fields of science and technology.

To ensure a smooth admissions process, a dedicated helpdesk has been established at IISER Bhopal. The IISERs offer an interdisciplinary curriculum, fostering a deep understanding of the sciences while allowing for specialization in specific areas. State-of-the-art facilities, including world-class laboratories and research centers, facilitate a conducive environment for academic and research endeavors.

For aspiring candidates, the key dates to remember are:
