IISER IAT 2026 Registration Opens Today with Key Dates and Eligibility Guidelines The Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) have launched the registration process for the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2026, with the online application window opening on March 5. The aptitude test is set for June 7, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Admission to undergraduate programs for the 2026–27 academic session at all seven IISER campuses will be based solely on IAT scores, not JEE results. Candidates applying to IISER Berhampur, Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, Pune, Thiruvananthapuram, and Tirupati can submit their applications through the official portal at iiseradmission.in. The IAT remains the sole and mandatory criterion for admission to IISERs, which are autonomous institutions under the Government of India dedicated to advancing high-quality basic science education and research. The test date and application period are critical for prospective students, as the process is entirely online and requires careful attention to deadlines. Eligibility for the IAT 2026 is determined by specific academic criteria. Candidates must have completed Class 12 (or an equivalent qualification) or a minimum three-year diploma in the science stream in 2024, 2025, or 2026. A minimum of 60% aggregate marks (55% for SC/ST/PwD candidates) is required, calculated across all subjects studied. Additionally, applicants must have taken at least three subjects from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. The application process involves several steps. First, candidates must visit the IISER Admissions 2026 website at iiseradmission.in. They should then click on “Apply for IAT-2026” on the homepage to register and create a user ID and password.#iiser_aptitude_test #iiser_2026 #iiser_admission #iiser #iiser_berhampur
