IISER Aptitude Test 2020 Results Release Schedule and Counselling Process
The IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) is a crucial step for students aiming to secure admission into the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) in the year 2020. This article aims to provide clear information on the results release schedule, counselling process, and the seat allotment procedure.
Results Release Schedule
The IISER IAT results were initially expected to be declared in the first week of October. However, the latest update from the official IISER website indicates that the first round of counselling for the Self-Chosen Branches (SCB) and Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE-Adv) channels will begin on September 20, 2020. Therefore, we can expect the results to be declared in the second week of October.
Officially, the results are expected to be released by October 19-20, 2020. However, it's important to note that IISER does not typically publish detailed scores or ranks. Instead, they release the roll numbers of selected candidates and notify them via SMS. This process differs significantly from other competitive exams like JEE or NEET, where detailed score cards are provided.
Seat Allotment Procedure
Once the results are declared, the focus shifts to the seat allotment process. According to recent updates, seat allocation through the SCB channel is expected to start on or after October 12, 2020. This allocation will depend on the culmination of the KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana) channel, which is currently ongoing.
IISER has indicated that there will likely be more than three rounds of counselling this year, partly due to the increased number of seats and the higher percentage of seats allocated to SCB candidates. The first round will likely be decided based on the ranks of the students, with subsequent rounds determining which candidates secure their seats.
Preparation and Guidance
If you're waiting for the results to be declared, there are a few steps you can take to prepare. First, match your answers with the official answer key, as this information will be crucial in understanding your performance. Additionally, note down the performance of students around you, as many will be sharing their marks and finalized IISERs on platforms like Quora. This can help you make an educated guess about your potential institutes and rounds of counselling.
Furthermore, it's been informed that classes for the new batch will not start until December or January, according to one of our professors at IISER M. This information can aid in managing expectations and planning accordingly.
Recent updates have clarified that the first list of results will be released on October 20, 2020. A second list is anticipated on November 1, 2020. Please stay tuned for further updates and best of luck with your IISER IAT 2020 process!
