What Is IISER Counselling 2026?

IISER Counselling 2026 is the centralised online admission process conducted by the Joint Admissions Committee (JAC), with IISER Berhampur serving as the organising institute for this admission cycle. The process facilitates admission to BS-MS, BS, and B.Tech programmes offered by the seven participating IISER campuses, based on candidates' IAT 2026 ranks, categories, and the choices filled during registration. Depending on the availability of vacant seats, the admission process may continue through multiple rounds - up to 8 to 9 rounds - during August 2026.

Willingness Options: Freeze vs Float

Once a Round 2 offer appears, candidates must choose between two willingness options before paying the SAF.

Important Instructions for Round 2 Candidates

• Admission offers are provisional until candidates report in person at the allotted IISER and complete document verification.
• Requests for extension of the seat acceptance deadline are not entertained under any circumstances; published deadlines are strictly enforced.
• Candidates who fail to pay the SAF or submit willingness within the deadline lose the offer and are not considered in subsequent rounds.
• Keep your login credentials (application number and password) secure and easily accessible during the entire counselling window.
• Regularly check the official portal, as counselling schedules can shift slightly depending on how each round progresses.

What Happens After Round 2 Allotment

Candidates who float after Round 2 remain in contention for Round 3, expected around August 10, 2026, and any further rounds that follow depending on vacancies. Candidates who freeze proceed toward document verification and physical reporting at their allotted IISER. The counselling process may continue for up to 8-9 rounds in total, depending on how many seats remain vacant after each stage.
