Applicants seeking admission under State and Central Boards channel must meet the criteria of minimum percentage cut-off marks for eligibility. If their percentage in Class 12 Board is less than the percentage cut-off marks specified in the MINIMUM MARKS TABLE (please consider all the subjects to calculate the percentage), then their application will not be accepted.
Following three exemptions are applicable to this criterion:
1. The cut-off for SC/ST category is 55% for all boards.
2. For OBC (non-creamy) and PD categories, a 5% relaxation of the DST cut-off, as specified in the MINIMUM MARKS TABLE, is tenable subject to a minimum of 60%.
3. Those candidates passing Class XII in 2014 and who are recipient of the eligibility note from the school board for DST Inspire Fellowship may also apply. Cut-off specified in the MINIMUM MARKS TABLE does not apply to such students.
NOTE: Meeting the eligibility criteria does not imply that you will receive a call letter for Counseling/IISER Aptitude Test 2014. Only the shortlisted candidates will receive a call letter.
Merely meeting the eligibility criteria or receiving a call letter for counseling does not entitle a candidate for admission to IISERs.
Students applying through State and Central Boards channel will be required to appear and qualify the IISER Aptitude Test 2014.
