The IISER 2024 counseling process for the 2024-2025 academic session is entirely online. Candidates who took the IISER 2024 exam and wish to enroll in any of the participating IISER institutes, including IISERs, IISc Bangalore, and IIT Madras, must participate in the counseling process.

The IISER 2024 counseling process involves several steps:

• Filling out the online registration and counseling form
• Paying the registration fee (if applicable)
• Uploading required documents
• Seat allotment
• Seat acceptance fee payment (if applicable)
• And potentially other steps

Only the meritorious candidates IAT 2025 Test will get the opportunity to sit in the IISER 2025 counselling process. Selected candidates in the IISER 2025 will then have to upload the required documents to confirm their seats between June 26 to July 02, 2025, tentatively

Documents to be uploaded:

• Class 12 marksheet
• Caste Certificate

Candidates can go through the following information :

• If a candidate receives an admission offer, he/she can either choose to accept the seat or reject it. If a candidate rejects the offered seat or if no action is taken by the candidate before the deadline, then the candidate will not be able to participate in further rounds of counselling.
• If a candidate receives an offer, then to accept the seat offered, the student must pay a seat acceptance fee through online mode before the prescribed deadline. If the seat acceptance fee is not paid, the candidate will not be considered for admission in subsequent allocation rounds.

After accepting the offer and paying seat acceptance fee, the candidate can exercise two options:

• Candidate can FREEZE the seat (they will not participate in further rounds of counselling),
• Candidates can FLOAT  (they will participate in further rounds of counselling to get their higher preferences). The FLOAT option is activated by default for those who pay the seat acceptance fee. 

A student who has chosen to FLOAT will be considered for seat allocation againin the next round. If they are eligible to secure a seat in an IISER that is higher in their preference list than the currently accepted one, they will be offered that seat.
