For admission you have to give an exam IAT for doing BSMS which is compulsory for all iiser. And I like it because there is some other way by which we can go into a tier 1 college by other exam not by jee or neet like things. The application mainly start in april and form available till end of april. you have to fill it on the IAT site and the exam has fee nearly 2000 rupees. Also there is same reservation pattern as in the central govt. exams, so it is not a big issue. The cutoff for iiser pune is nearly 120 out 240 marks as i gave the exam last year. It vary year to year. The cutoff is different for different iiser. Also IISER PUNE selects only 270 student of the total qualified number which nearly about 5k. So I can say there is huge competition here. The exam is moderate for the admission and exam is available for all over india not in particular area like wbjee.

You can get into IISER by giving IAT exam ( IISER Aptitude Test). around 50k - 100 k student aply for the exam sp it is quiet easy to get in. Question level is moderate. for general you need to score 100/180 (rank 1500) to get into IISER K. for obc the cut off is around 70-80/180 (rank 2500). for sc st I am not clear about the cut off but if you score decent 50+ you will easily get in . After the exam within one month admission process starts. you have to fill the college preference list before the result are decleared and during filling up the admission form.

One needs 60% minimum marks in 12th, (55% for SC/ ST)to appear in IISER aptitude test. Every year the application forms release in the month of April at the official website of IISER aptitude test (IAT). There are reservations for OBC, EWS, SC, ST, PWD, Kashmiri migrant. The difficulty level may vary, it is more or less similar to jee mains( some questions asked are of jee advanced level, some are very easy especially in biology and chemistry).
This course is wuite new and very well executed. It has all kinds of facilities. The process of admission is quite smooth. There are quite a few areas of improvement in college but overall the admission and faculties and the academics are justified.
Anyone with who has passed 12th with science background weather it PCB or PCM or both is eligible for this college through iiser aptitude test. Admission process is pretty smooth there are two examinations connected every semester the mid semester and dense semester examination along with some classes.

12th pass students are eligible for this course, it takes admission through IAT(IISER Aptitude Test) and JEE ADVANCE exam. You can find application form and other details in the official website of IAT , you will get 100% offer on tution fess uf you belong to any reservations category. The exams are quite okay if you study enough for competitive exams then you can easily crack the exam.They should conduct the exam more difficult then the admission process will be better.
No, it is not a mistake to prefer IISER Kolkata over IIT KGP for an MSc integrated course in Physics. You are going to get a pure science degree so it makes more sense to get the degree from an institute that focuses on that degree. IIT KGP is popular for its engineering degrees. So, you will be mostly surrounded by people who are pursuing engineering degrees. You won’t get to meet many like-minded students. The course structure of integrated MSc at IITs is also outdated.
At IISER Kolkata, you will get a decent course structure and better faculties for an integrated MSc.
