If you have any other queries regarding IISER 2025 Eligibility Criteria, you can ask your queries in the comment below.
I have completed my class 12th qualification in 2022 by ISC board.And I got 287 out of 500 mark.Is am I eligible for filling the iiser application form for this year 2024.
Details regarding the allotment will be provided to you by the authorities.
Can I eligible for iiser 2024 (iat) if I passed my inter board in 2017.
Candidates those have passed 10+2 with science stream in 2022 or 2023 with marks equal or above the cut off percentage in their respective boards will be eligible.
I have two questions:
1) in kerala state board, the marks of class 12 are calculated by adding both class 11 and class 12 marks. So for IAT eligibility is only class 12 marks considered in this situation?
2) If the answer to the first question is ‘yes’, then… Is the continuous evaluation marks of class 12 also added to the final aggregate marks of class 12 in kerala state board? I want to know this to confirm my chances of eligibility.
You are advised to ask the authority regarding this query.
Hi…are IB students also eligible for entrance test?
