The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) has released admission notification for five-year dual degree (BS-MS) programme and four-year BS programme. Interested candidates can apply at the official website of IISER (iiseradmission.in). According to IISER, the important dates will be announced on March 29.

Eligibility

Candidates who have passed 10+2 or equivalent level exam with science stream in 2020 or 2021 are eligible to apply for admissions. Candidates will be admitted to IISER only through Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY), JEE Advanced with rank within 10,000, and state and central board channel (SCB).

The candidates will be selected on the basis of entrance exam. The dates will be notified soon. Those who clear the test will get admissions at the IISER campuses in Berhampur, Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, Pune, Thiruvananthapuram and Tirupati.
