IISER Pune Questions and Answers

Dear Parent, 

Based on the trends of previous years and expected cut off for the 2025-26 session, it is very unlikely to get admission in any of the 7 IISERs as the cut off ranges between 110-130 for general category students. The minimum cut off expected this year for the general category is between 95-105 for IISER Berhampur. However, students must attend the counselling sessions to explore any hopes.
