The registration process for the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2026 is set to conclude today, April 13, 2026. Aspiring candidates who have yet to submit their applications are urged to do so promptly through the official IISER Admissions Portal at iiseradmission.in. This is a crucial opportunity for students aiming to secure admission into the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER).
The IISER IAT 2026 is scheduled to take place on June 7, 2026. The examination will be conducted in a single shift from 9 AM to 12 PM across various centers throughout India. This year, the test will be administered as a computer-based examination, ensuring a streamlined and efficient testing process.
During the exam, candidates will encounter a total of 60 questions, divided equally among four subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, with 15 questions from each discipline. Participants will have 180 minutes to complete the test, which consists solely of multiple-choice questions, each with one correct answer. The total score will be out of 240 marks, which will be instrumental in forming the rank list for the IAT 2026.
It is important to note that not every candidate who takes the exam will receive a rank. The rank cut-off will be announced after the examination, and obtaining a rank does not guarantee admission to any of the IISER institutions.
