Overview

The Joint Admissions Committee (JAC) has officially released the Round 2 seat allotment results for the IISER 2026 admission cycle. This process, coordinated by IISER Berhampur, determines the placement of candidates into various BS-MS, BS, and B.Tech programs across the seven participating Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research. The allotment is strictly based on the ranks secured in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2026, candidate category, and the preferences submitted during the initial choice-filling phase.

Key Responsibilities

• Candidates must log in to the official portal to verify their allotted institute and program details.
• Successful applicants are required to submit their willingness to either 'Freeze' or 'Float' their current seat.
• Payment of the Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) must be completed within the stipulated timeline to confirm the provisional admission.
• Students opting to 'Float' will remain eligible for potential upgrades to higher-preference institutes in subsequent rounds.
• Those who 'Freeze' their seat must prepare for the upcoming document verification and physical reporting process.
• Failure to complete the mandatory fee payment and willingness submission will result in the forfeiture of the seat offer.
