MOD POST Created a Google Form to pool study resources for the sub

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I put together a quick Google Form so we can collect and share study materials, notes, practice questions, and drive links for IAT preparation in one place.

If you have any useful resources, feel free to submit them here:

Forms link

Once there are enough submissions, we’ll compile everything into a single organized folder/sheet and share it back with the community.

also in the mean time check out Wiki resources

IAT IAT-2026_IISER_Admissions_2026_Final Summary

45 Upvotes

Greetings to All. I draw your attention to my post dated 28 Jun 2026 (22:32:31 h).

https://www.reddit.com/r/IATtards/comments/1ui2k3q/iat_results_1st_round_of_counselling_calming_down/

Most of what was predicted in that post had come true, except that the counselling went to 9 rounds. However, most of the major movement was over by R6, and that the MCC effect had probably helped about 100 to 150 students grab their seats (GEN/EWS/OBC-NCL/SC/ST all inclusive) in rounds R6 to R9. It does mean that about 2200+ seats were filled by R6.

Best wishes to all those who made it to the IISERs. Get ready for a challenging phase of your life, the crucial 5 years, that will be the launch pad for your career. Take a good care of your health, have a peaceful journey with NO stress & travel with friends happily towards accomplishing your short term academic / research goals.

Here is the summary of IISER Admissions - 2026 for the benefit of the future IAT aspirants. It is 10 minutes past midnight, 10 Sep 2026. If there are any discrepancies in the numbers (ranks/marks), it will be fixed in a day or two in my free time. In some cases, specific early closures of specific categories have been captured as it happened, and if the final round of a particular IISER had a lower rank (coming from kids that had floated freezing it in the next round), the round in which the highest rank was allotted was captured as the last round.

You may calculate the Marks using the following equations, if interested. The equations are expected to give accurate numbers (plus/minus 0.2 mark to 1 mark) up to overall rank 16000.

Up to 10000 ranks: [-22.56*LN(X)+322.53]

10001 - 26000 ranks: [-24.38*LN(X)+337.77]*

*Beyond 16000 the accuracy will be bit off. (may be plus/minus 1.5 to 2 marks).

Beyond 26000, Marks could not be tracked, as the data was inadequate the build a reliable equation!

MOD(s) may consider pinning this & also the 2025 final summary post for the benefit of IAT aspirants.

https://www.reddit.com/r/IATtards/comments/1nlb58i/iat_2025_final_summary/

Many thanks to the MOD(s) for their efforts in managing this sub effectively, extending the support to the IAT / NEST aspirants! Keep up the good work, buddies.

DISCUSSION Is it just me or do people think about IISER VS IIT as research vs engineering?

9 Upvotes

Idk if it's just me but I'm seeing many opinions on this subreddit about aspirants aiming for IISERs over other top engineering colleges cuz theyre really passionate about "research" rather than engineering. They don't usually state what specific topic they want to research in but just "research". My questions is isn't research present in engineering too? You can pursue a phd and post docs and become a professor too after an engineering degree right. And it's often easier for engineering phd grade to land jobs in industry than natural sciences phd holders. So shouldn't it be research in basic sciences rather than just "research"? Is it just me that's seeing this across the subreddit?

GENERAL HELP Question for the research aspirants

• Upvotes

Question for the research aspirants, I'm a 10th grader who's a NEET aspirant with additional interests in research, teaching, but only for subjects like biology and chemistry, is research in these fields good in India or abroad(I'm financially well off) and should i consider this fields esp biology for research, job as a professor etc?

Honestly i am fed up with person like, idk what to even say
STUPIDEST ARGUEMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD, seriously bhai like IIT Jaane ke baad kya tumeh turant hi 25LPA ki salary milne lag jati hai ? Like iss MAHAPURUSH ne ese IIT ko har financial problem ka solution declare kia jaise voh university nhi koi free money machine ho and like IIT mai kya Acadmics nhi hote, has he even studied properly in IITD like CSE is not a piece of cake it is tough and has alot of course work to do, CS is not only abt coding, you can check it on IIT's website of CSE department? this is pure misguidance
THERE IS A BASIC THING HE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND, If there is no new research than there are no new engineering techniques and ideas as Research is foundation of every Applicative Sciences.
And honestly if u get admission in IISc/IISERs and if u pursue PHD and get recommendation by Profs for foreign Ph.D u will earn alot better during ur phd and post doc, and u can save it, Though it is time taking still there is no such thing that research mai paisa nhi hai
Also what do u mean by that physics ya koi bhi subject research level pr boring hojata hai like bro is all IISc IIT IISER NISER NIT etc profs are researchers only if they wouldn't have decided to be one then u wouldn't be able to learn anything in Engineering
Bro is misguiding all his innocent followers who would have interest in research, becoz HE IS JUST TRYING TO PUSH AS MUCH AS STUDENT IN JEE SO HE COULD RECRUIT THEM IN HIS COACHING and EARN MONEY
such a dumbass

Lemme be honest, I am a pcm class 11th grader, and as usual, I am stuck in the jee loophole. I want to pursue research(physics), not even for money but for myself. The thing is that I am getting 210+ score in jee mains mocks and I am currently doing maths only. Now I don't know how will I be able to cover biology! What should I do? Seniors, please help me out and fellow pcm IAT aspirants can also share their strategies.

Yooo so it's just a random ahh page for yapping , I'm just trying to learn about reddit and this 'community', as it is obvious that I'm preparing for IAT 2027, my prep is actually bad ig i don't think I'm capable of clearing IAT but maybe that's just my doubts and insecurity speaking, my half yearly school exam is coming and the worst part is I'm not taking it seriously -_-, guess what gang, I'm doomed but i don't care 😍

It would be nice if anyone else wants to share something about their stuff or whatever they want

Hopefully my first impression isn't corny and weird TwT
