NISER Bhubaneswar

[Chitta]

Since 2022 NISER is getting better in reducing its admission rounds. Based on https://www.niser.ac.in/25admissions/index.php, this year (2025) they seem to have filled all seats in first round held on 25th July 2025. They do have a waitlist, just in case, someone backs out by not showing up for registration on 1st August 2025. In the first round they invited 461 candidates (up to general rank 650) for the general category admission that had shown interest after the results were announced. (Lower ranked up to 1965 in the general category and then unranked in general category were invited for admission on the other categories.) For general category, the 101 seats were filled from among the first 296 invited general candidates.

After the first round all seats were seemingly filled and the Waiting list started as follows:

• General - From 436   (436 was 297 in the invited list)  
  
• OBC - From General rank 1070 and OBC rank 249 (OBC 248 had general rank 1068, and was 560 in the invited list)
  
• SC  - SC rank 105 (SC 104 did not have a general rank, was 677 in the invited list)
  
• ST - ST rank 54 (ST 53 did not have a general rank, was 738 in the invited list)
  

We will see how many of the waitlisted candidates make it and how far it goes.

As per https://www.niser.ac.in/25admissions/wai...s_list.php many waitlisted candidates made it, perhaps because some of the candidates that had initially accepted withdrew. So at the end of the process:

• General: 33 candidates from the waitlist made it. The last one that made it had the general rank 584, and General waitlist 33.
  
• OBC: 7 candidates from the waitlist made it. The last one that made it had the general rank 1149, OBC rank 268, and OBC waitlist 7.
  
• SC: 2 candidates from the waitlist made it. The last one that made it had SC rank 106; no general rank.
  
• ST: 1 candidate made it. Their ST rank was 54; no general rank.
  
• JK: There was 2 JK seats. It was filled by general rank 1000 and 1325. JK rank 7 and 8 respectively; the 2 waitlisted candidates invited in this category.
  

The admission process ended with that.
