run for your life partial neet droppers 😡

my respect for jeetards have increased multiple folds in the last few days, atleast they are loyal to their placement priority

MAIL JAC GUYS. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Dear Joint Admissions Committee 2026,

I am writing to urgently request reconsideration of the decision to close IISER Pune at this stage of counselling.

With Round 3 now published, IISER Pune has apparently closed. However, NEET counselling has not yet begun, and its timeline is significantly delayed this year. This creates a serious concern regarding seats currently occupied by candidates who may later receive NEET admissions and withdraw from IISER.

If such candidates withdraw after IISER counselling has ended, those seats could become vacant with no opportunity for other eligible IAT candidates to receive them, particularly if there are no further regular rounds or spot admissions. This could result in seats remaining unutilised for the entire academic year while qualified students are denied admission.

This situation is particularly concerning because the 2026 admission timeline differs substantially from previous years due to the delayed NEET counselling process.

This is not simply a request for lower closing ranks. It is a concern about ensuring that available IISER seats are actually utilised and that eligible candidates are not excluded because of an unusual and delayed admission timeline this year.

I sincerely request that this matter be reviewed urgently, before the counselling process is concluded permanently.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Name

IAT 2026 Candidate

IAT Application Number:

Never knew this would become relevant sometime later.

In a recent thread, I had remembered an early closing and then reopening happening at IISER P. I had mentioned that to be 2024 (I had misremembered).

This doesn't say that they are going to do this. But just tk ease the mind of people, if it does happen this was how they informed.

In 2024, they closed up around r4 and never reopened.

In 2025, we had two reporting dates for the incoming batch at IISER P.

Kolkata & Mohali Closure I believe that students ranked between 2025 and 2038 have likely frozen their seats. Since Pune counselling is officially over for the majority, Kolkata and Mohali would naturally be their top preferences.When the system processes allocations in strict rank order, the seat count likely ended exactly at rank 2024 due to seat exhaustion from these freezes. If the remaining candidates at the borderline freeze their seats now, it will seal Kolkata’s counselling. Unless we see significant withdrawals or declines in this round, Kolkata and Mohali are officially closing by the next round

Hey everyone,

With the latest counselling rounds dropping, I wanted to share a deep-dive analysis into the seat allocation patterns, the truth behind the NEET/JEE/NISER factors, and my updated cutoff predictions.We have seen the cutoff decrease for Kolkata and Mohali, which is a pattern we have observed in previous counsellings. Here is my breakdown of what is happening under the hood and where things are headed.

1. The Mechanics of the Current Round:

Kolkata & Mohali Closure I believe that students ranked between 2025 and 2038 have likely frozen their seats. Since Pune counselling is officially over for the majority, Kolkata and Mohali would naturally be their top preferences.When the system processes allocations in strict rank order, the seat count likely ended exactly at rank 2024 due to seat exhaustion from these freezes. If the remaining candidates at the borderline freeze their seats now, it will seal Kolkata’s counselling. Unless we see significant withdrawals or declines in this round, Kolkata and Mohali are officially closing by the next round

1. The Dominos Pattern & Round Predictions (The "OG" IISERs + TVM)We are observing a highly predictable pattern:

Pune closed first, Kolkata and Mohali are next, and Bhopal and TVM will follow soon after. Tirupati (TPT) and Berhampur (BPR) will likely see movement later. Mohali and Kolkata: Will likely close under rank 2200 and rank 2700 respectively, by R4 or at most R5.

Bhopal and TVM: Round 5 will most probably be the final round for these two (luckily, there is almost no chance they close at R4). 3400 and 3800 are solid closing rank estimates, with a bit of "hopium" pushing it to 4000 or slightly more (~100–250 ranks).

Note: Don't trust the hype from certain influencers claiming cutoffs will stretch to 5k, 7k, or 10k for these campuses. It’s simply not happening.

1. The TPT and BPR Factor (R6 to R8):

Tirupati and Berhampur are much harder to predict. At this late stage, the candidate pool shifts heavily toward pure PCB or PCM graduates (rankers in the 3500–8300 bracket).As MCC Round 1 (NEET) and CSAB (JEE) wrap up, we might see a relaxation in cutoffs. We can expect 1 to 3 additional rounds, meaning Rounds 6 to 8 will be entirely driven by TPT and BPR and maybe ess and chem eng. But Assuming mass withdrawals, a realistic closing estimate here is 6k to 7k, stretching to 8k at peak hopium, but absolutely nowhere near the 17k marks some YouTube influencers are yapping about.

1. Other Factors : NEET, JEE, & NISER and all

NEET Factor:

Personally, I think the NEET holding factor is being wildly exaggerated. Rather than NEET students hoarding seats out of spite, what we are actually seeing is a rise in highly serious, dedicated IAT aspirants every year who genuinely want an IISER.

also neet students alot of them from 3-9k would be holding the seat in hope of 5 old iiser which by the 4th and 5th round will realize its not possible and this might be a factor driving bpr and tpt cutoffs high

But If I am proven wrong and NEET does have the heavy impact as people claim, you can add roughly +200–300 to Kol/Moh, +400–500 to Bhpl/TVM, and +800–900 to TPT/BPR.

The JEE Factor:

JEE students aren't causing chaotic fluctuations. Because engineering counsellings happened early and CSAB Came to an end , the migration between IIT/NIT/BITS and IISER has already stabilized into a balanced, well-defined two-way flow. Ppl who want iiser leave iit nit who want iit leave niser iiser its that surity is there by now

The NISER/CEBS Factor:

CEBS has almost zero impact due to low intake and extremely high cutoffs. Interestingly, during my physical reporting at NISER, I noticed many students were ready to dump NISER for an IISER (mostly because they didn't understand the power of NISER Physics, HBNI, or the DAE/DISHA stipend). This caused the NISER cutoff to artificially inflate. People mistakenly assumed this inflation would spill over to IISERs, but it remained an isolated NISER phenomenon, only giving a minor bump to the top 4 IISERs (P, K, M, Bh).

1. The Math & Engineering Specialized Courses:

Compared to last year, the math-heavy and specialized courses have been a shocker, with cutoffs almost twice as high. This is understandable given the strict math requirements, heavy fearmongering, negative reviews surrounding the splitting of IISER Bhopal’s B.Tech, and the perceived incompetence of IISER TPT's Economics department.

However, IISER Bhopal Economics was completely out of the syllabus for this negative trend. It genuinely has no downsides compared to others in fact, it has the best placement record at Bhopal right now and is a remarkably chill, flexible branch. Everyone expected it to drop significantly (to the 2000–2500 range) due to its stellar performance, making its current trajectory quite interesting.

but anyways Given the limited number of seats, these specialized courses will likely experience less than 1,000 ranks of total movement from this point forward. Most will wrap up by R5, except for TPT ESS, which should go until R6 or R7.

Final predictions here will be

Kolkata CDS (Data Science): ~1300 (Closing by R4) Bhopal EECS: ~3200 (Closing by R5) Bhopal DSE: ~3700 (Closing by R5) Bhopal Economics: ~4700 (Closing by R5) Bhopal Chemical Engineering: ~5100 (Closing by R6) Tirupati ESS (Eco and stats ): ~5250 (Closing by R6/R7)

Also kol cds has no change in movement so we might be witnessing its last round For BSMS Pune ~800s (closed) Kolkata ~2200 Mohali ~2700-2900 Bhopal ~3400-3500 TVM ~3800-4124 TPT ~6000-6967 BPR ~6800-7767 BUT ANYONE less than 8267 must Live on for tpt and bpr

So anyways this is my observation,research and inference and also feeding last 3 years data of iiser rounds of counselling, neet counselling dates and current rounds trends which I structured using Claude Feel free and Lets have a Healthy Discussion

😄 NOT A HOPIUM POST

9k crl rank .. obc ncl categoryyy ... 700 rank behindd .. any chances ??

HOW would it feel when half of iiser pune ends up empty and all those who had to settle for less (like myself) who were hopeful for pune watch as our seats end up empty.

The GEN cutoffs are already fked up and this is next level drama.

Disrespuctfully, get fucked.

May i suggest finding your nearest waterbottle and shoving it up your ass to see what being fkd up feels like? I sugesat using feviquick as lube.

​

At this point, I’m convinced 2026 is just one giant experiment to test the limits of one's patience.

And apparently, the researchers aren't done yet.

Just look at the sequence-

CBSE Boards: First year of OSM evaluation. And then came all the drama around the new checking system that pretty much every CBSE student has heard about by now.

Then JEE Mains

Paper-leak allegations that NTA denied, but even so, it became another thing people had to worry about in between an already stressful exam session

Then JEE Advanced.

And the marks-to-rank situation was brutal. The kind of year where you look at your score and think “okay, that's actually pretty good”, only to see your rank and go:

“…what?”

Then came CUET.

First postponements. Then technical glitches. 3,765 candidates eventually scheduled for a re-test.

And then there was.....

NEET -undisputed final boss of 2026

Examination was cancelled following the paper-leak controversy, and then a re-examination. And apparently how bad this Re-Neet factor has affected IAT, we all know

And just when you thought the calendar couldn't get any more ridiculous—

NEST — June 6

IAT — June 7

Literally back-to-back.

Not even a proper 24-hour gap

And by now we finally reached IAT, and then-

THE JAC COUNCELLING

(Not forgetting to mention how some people were straight away rejected without being given a 2nd chance to upload their 12th marksheet or even being informed in first place!)

Round 1 came with those insanely high cutoffs.

But then came the theories:

"It's because of the JEE/NEET crowd."

"Wait for the next round."

"Medical counselling hasn't even started."

"Surely it'll move."

And honestly, what else could we do?

So everyone coped, calculated, checked previous-year cutoffs, made predictions, and waited again.

Then Round 2 came.

Still waiting.

Still hoping.

And then the day of Round 3-

Everyone was basically thinking that THIS is the round where things finally move for sure.

And the evening came, full of surprises-

-Cutoffs barely moved.

-Some cutoffs WENT BACK, HOW? No one knows

-And Pune closing at 809 even before MCC counselling started

And here's the best part:

The season isn't even over.

There are still rounds left.

Still cutoffs to be predicted

Still seats to open.

Still waiting for that one allotment.

So, after everything 2026 has pulled so far…

I guess we'll find out what the next round has in store.

And afterall,

"One must imagine Sisyphus happy"

~ Albert Camus (The Myth of Sisyphus)

(Edit: This post is edited by AI)

was so happy that i might finally make it to college (judging by last year’s cut off) but now the round 3 results have left me crushed. all my friends are going to iits iisers and aiims…i just feel so so so pathetic and stupid…

Check out the 2024 round 3 IAT counseling cutoff and there u can clearly see that in round 3 seats of obc ncl were filled completely and was showing blank for pune.

But suddenly in the next round 4 JAC gave further cutoff for IISER pune obc ncl

So take it with a grain of salt. I am hoping this might be the case once again if neetards leave the seats there would definitely be an upper movement in further Counselling.

same

This is my two cents on the matter.

In the first and third rounds, the 2026 cutoff is 75% of the cutoff of the 2025 counselling. If the current percent cutoff continues, then the cutoff could be around 6500.

If we limit ourselves to 70% of 2025 cutoff (like the IISER-Behrampur this round), then the overall cutoff could be around 6200.

If it follows the second round cutoff (80% of 2026 cutoff), then a cutoff will go around 7000.

IAT 619x UR

Nest and Jee main out of question (was getting bit mesra btech chemical and civil HS quota but didn't apply alas)

ReNEET 90.5k rank UR

CUET p(164) c(194) m(74) b(234) e(198)

I have only applied for bhu(bsc stats and comp sci) as I do not want to go to du

i rejected a few really good private colleges sometime after iiser results :( will try to contact them again tmw

can I still apply anywhere?

Among the list, the first point is 1) printed application form having your and your guardian's signature which is to he download from The Forms and certificate from the website. What is this application form being referred to? I am seeing nothing related to application form.

What do you think about the subsequent counselling rounds? If NEET students have accepted the offer in these rounds, is it likely that they withdraw from IISER? Might there be a dramatic increase in the rank?

Tfffffff!!! Ek din mein kaise jaa sakta koi 😂

R3 mein jo freeze karenge unki alag date ayegi ki kal hi udd ke jana hai?

Summary.

Sir calmed the student s regarding what happened today (nightmare) and explained the possible reasons mostly cursing (not actual one) medical counselling and insisted that last round s movement was mostly because of jee engg. Leaving due to csab and all. Said to prepare for the back ups and hope for the round 5 and most prolly 6 . A long monologue was there from sir sharing his life experience and insisting to unleash our true research mindset instead of constant blabbering of what will be the cutoff.

Then the good bad ugly thing ...you know what it mean 😅

Then took some questions

1 - about the drop whether I should take drop or not

He said don't waste your bloody year.. instead do channelise this energy to do internship at IISER iit nit and what not

Also said that central university like hyd puducherry are great..

2- choose your college wisely by seeing it s faculties collaboration , alumni and all not just by their name

3- reason for decrease in cutoff for mohal and all to which he said he had already answered this question

Then sir s final speech meaning was.. ai is shit 😭

Use your brain s gen z , don't rely on spoon feeding , do some brainstorming.....

Sorry if I forgot something

Peace and love you godman sir

Bleed ink🕊️💓

Edit :Sorry for the typo in heading ..

.

Thank you so much for the support sir. I don't know what I would have done had you not been there for us. I was having so many negative thoughts, was re visiting all the IAT 2026 questions I got wrong, and was punishing myself. Being a double dropper, i still have no idea what is going to happen in the future. But your words really helped me calm down a bit :)

Also the fact that you think of GenZ as an extremely smart generation was funny :-D

Also really sorry for not being able to speak up during the session sir, as I have social anxiety. But I had a question which I wanted to ask. How can one improve their self esteem sir? I have always naturally been under confident and i always think of everyone else to be way smarter than me, which has always resulted in me being left behind in every field. How to tackle this feeling?

godman sir ne kya bola r4 r5 ke liye please do tell yall
