If you want to take admission at IISER (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research) but did not appear for the IAT (IISER Aptitude Test) or JEE (Joint Entrance Examination), it may limit your options for admission into the regular undergraduate programs at IISERs.
Typically, admission to the BS (Bachelor of Science) programs at IISERs is done through one of the following channels:
1. KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana): If you have qualified for the KVPY examination and meet the eligibility criteria specified by IISERs, you can apply for admission directly through the KVPY channel.
2. JEE Advanced: IISERs also consider JEE Advanced ranks for admission to their BS programs. Candidates who qualify the JEE Advanced examination and meet the eligibility criteria can apply for admission through the JEE Advanced channel.
3. State and Central Board Toppers: IISERs also allocate a certain number of seats to students who are among the top performers in their respective state or central board examinations. The exact criteria and guidelines for this category may vary across different IISERs.
If you did not appear for IAT or JEE, and you do not meet the criteria for KVPY or state/central board toppers category, it may limit your options for direct admission into the regular undergraduate programs at IISERs.
However, I would recommend checking the official websites of the respective IISERs for any alternative admission routes, special provisions, or specific eligibility criteria that may be available for candidates who did not appear for IAT or JEE. Some IISERs may have additional admission criteria or provisions for students from specific backgrounds or circumstances.
Additionally, you can explore other reputed institutions or universities that offer undergraduate programs in the field ofScienceand research. There are numerous universities and colleges across India that offer excellentScienceprograms and research opportunities.
Consider researching and applying to institutions that match your academic interests and offer admission based on alternative entrance exams or other criteria. It's always advisable to thoroughly research the admission requirements, eligibility criteria, and application procedures of the institutions you are interested in.
I hope this information helps, and I wish you all the best for your academic pursuits!
