IISER IAT 2025 Cut‑Off Released; IISER Pune & Bhopal Top Picks for BS‑MS & BTech
The Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) have released the Round 2 cut‑off ranks for the 2025 IAT (IISER Aptitude Test) counselling process. IISER Pune has emerged as the most preferred institute for the 5‑year BS‑MS dual degree, closely followed by IISER Kolkata and Mohali. IISER Bhopal continues to be the top choice for its newly launched BTech programme.
🎯 Key Cut-Off Highlights (Round 2, General Category):
IISER Pune (BS‑MS Dual Degree): Closing rank 1215
IISER Kolkata (BS‑MS in Computational & Data Sciences): Closing rank 1236
IISER Bhopal (BS‑MS Dual Degree): Closing rank 3609
IISER Bhopal (BTech Engineering): Closing rank 2013
Among the BS‑MS programmes, IISER Pune attracted the highest preference from top-ranked candidates. In the new BTech (Engineering Sciences) at IISER Bhopal, the general category closing rank stood at AIR 2013.
📍 Why IISER Pune and Bhopal Stand Out:
IISER Pune consistently secures top candidates for its BS‑MS dual degree programme.
IISER Bhopal’s BTech programme, introduced in 2025, is gaining traction quickly, attracting candidates within the top ~2000 ranks.
🗓 Upcoming Counselling Rounds:
Round 2: August 1–5, 2025
Round 3: Cut-offs expected on August 8
Final Rounds: Scheduled between August 16–19
The counselling process will allocate seats in four rounds in total. Cut-offs are announced after each round, based on rank list and seat availability.
📌 What Candidates Should Know:
| Institute | Programme | Round 2 Closing Rank (General) |
|---|---|---|
| IISER Pune | BS‑MS Dual Degree | 1215 |
| IISER Kolkata | BS‑MS (Comp & Data Science) | 1236 |
| IISER Bhopal | BS‑MS Dual Degree | 3609 |
| IISER Bhopal | BTech Engineering | 2013 |
Note: Closing ranks vary by category and course. The above are General (UR) category closing ranks for Round 2.
✅ Candidate Guidance:
If your Common Rank List (CRL) rank is ≤ 1200, you may have a strong chance at IISER Pune or Kolkata BS‑MS programmes.
Ranks around the 1800–2000 range may help you secure a BTech seat at IISER Bhopal.
Set high-demand institutes earlier in your preference list to improve seat allocation chances.
Monitor Round 3 cut-offs and update preferences accordingly.
This year’s counselling trends highlight IISER Pune’s continued popularity among top IAT performers and the rising demand for IISER Bhopal’s engineering offerings. Candidates are advised to stay alert and respond promptly in upcoming rounds to secure a preferred seat.
