— Final Round
The Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) announced the Round 5 Seat Allotment Result on 24 August 2026 — the final round of this year's counselling cycle. Candidates who receive an offer must pay the Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) by 26 August 2026 to confirm their admission.
Since Round 5 is the last allocation round, this is the final opportunity for IAT 2026 candidates to secure an IISER seat this admission cycle — there's no further round to fall back on if this deadline is missed.
How to Check Your Round 5 Result
- Visit the official portal: iiseradmission.in
- Log in using your Application Number and Password
- View your assigned IISER campus and programme (if allotted)
- Download and save your Admission Offer Letter as a PDF
- Go to the Decision Making tab and submit your response before the deadline
There is no separate roll-number-based public result — access is only through individual candidate login.

Your Response Options
- Accept: Confirm your seat at the allotted IISER and programme, pay SAF, admission process complete
- Accept and Float: Not typically available in the final round — this option allowed staying eligible for a better preference in earlier rounds while holding your current seat
- Decline: Reject the offer if you don't wish to join — since this is the final round, declining means exiting the IISER admission process entirely for this cycle
Since Round 5 is final, review your offer carefully — there's no subsequent round to reconsider in.

IISERs offer BS-MS Dual Degree and select 4-year BS Degree programmes with a strong research focus from the undergraduate level itself — a distinctive option compared to standard science degree programmes.
