IISER 2026 Round 5 Closing Rank

There is no single closing rank applicable to all IISERs and programmes. The Round 5 closing rank will vary according to the IAT rank, category, IISER preference, programme preference and availability of seats.

Other factors affecting the closing rank include:

• IAT rank
• Candidate category
• Programme preference
• IISER preference
• Number of available seats
• Number of candidates accepting offers
• Vacancies created due to withdrawals

Candidates should compare their rank with the closing rank of the specific IISER, programme and category rather than relying on a single overall cutoff.

Previous IISER IAT 2026 Closing Ranks

The following Round 3 UR closing ranks can be used as an indicative reference:

Note: These are previous-round indicative closing ranks and should not be treated as the official Round 5 cutoff. Closing ranks can change from one counselling round to another depending on seat vacancies and candidate preferences.

Why Can IISER Closing Ranks Change in Round 5?

Closing ranks can shift during successive counselling rounds because candidates may accept, reject or withdraw their admission offers. Vacancies created during the process can subsequently be offered to candidates with lower preferences or higher numerical ranks. Therefore, a candidate who did not receive an offer in an earlier round may have a chance of securing a seat in Round 5 if vacancies become available.
