Ashoka University Scholarships 2025 - Details, Eligibility, Amount

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. For further details related to admission in IISER, kindly click here.

Dear Student

If you are unable to attend the exam due to medical or family emergencies, unfortunately, there is no provision for changing the center or taking the exam at a later date. Next time, during the application, select your preferred centers carefully and as early as possible. And, if you have a medical emergency, always obtain a certificate and inform the authorities immediately after the admit card is released.
