Choosing the Right Browser-
Before you begin the registration process, it is important to ensure that you have the right browser. The official website recommends using compatible versions of browsers for Android and iOS devices. If you do not have a compatible browser, we recommend using a compatible device or visiting a cyber cafe to complete the registration form.
Filling out the Application Form-
Once you have the right browser, you can start the application process.
- It is crucial to fill in the details accurately, as per your 10th and 12th certificates.
- Avoid any spelling mistakes or variations in your first name and surname.
- The name mentioned on your ID proof should match the name on your certificates.
- Ensure that you provide a fully functional mobile number and email ID that will be active for the next 4 months, as the IISER Admission team will communicate with you through these channels.
- After filling in the personal details, you will need to generate and validate an OTP (One-Time Password). The OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number and email ID. Enter the OTP in the respective fields and validate it. This step ensures the security and authenticity of your registration.
- You will be required to sign a declaration. It is important to carefully read and understand the declaration before signing it. The Joint Admission Committee (JAC) will send all important information to your registered email ID and phone number. Pay attention to the details provided and avoid making any mistakes. Once you have read and understood the declaration, fill in the captcha and submit the form.
- The final step is to review the information you have provided. Double-check your full name, date of birth, gender, mobile number, and email ID. Ensure all the details are accurate, and click on the “Verify” button to submit the form. Once submitted, the information cannot be modified, so review it carefully before clicking “Submit”.
- Your application is now successfully completed. You will be assigned an application number, which you should keep for future reference.
- Now, you will be required to provide your email address and an alternate email address.
- Select your category (general, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD) accurately.
- It is important to note that students from the OBC-NCL category should not mistakenly select the OBC category. This can result in the loss of reservations.
- Select the correct category per your eligibility and upload the necessary category certificate in the prescribed format, if applicable.
- Fill in your address details, including your permanent address and current address if applicable.
- Provide details of your educational qualifications, starting with details from your 10th class or equivalent.
Important Documents-
If you belong to the OBC-NCL or EWS category, make sure to have the respective certificates issued on or after 1st April 2024. In case you do not have the supporting documents, you can upload a signed declaration form instead. The declaration form can be downloaded from their official website under the downloads section. Remember to submit the original certificate once you receive it, as the scanned copy must be uploaded on or before 2nd July.
Provide accurate personal details, including your guardian’s name, qualifications, occupation, and family income. You will also need to upload a copy of your photo ID, such as a PAN card, and indicate if you are a Kashmiri migrant or have any physical disability.
Upload a clear and recent copy of your photo as per the specified guidelines. After that, select your preferred exam center cities. You can choose up to 5 cities, but city allocation is subject to seat availability. Best efforts will be made to allot you your first choice, but no requests for changes will be allowed later on.
Payment Details-
The final step is to provide the payment details. The registration fee for the general category is Rs. 2000. Make sure to read and agree to the declaration before proceeding with the payment. Fill in the captcha, select “Yes” to confirm, and submit the form.
