IISER Counselling 2026 is the centralised online admission process conducted by the Joint Admissions Committee (JAC), with IISER Berhampur serving as the organising institute for this admission cycle. The counselling process facilitates admission to BS-MS, BS, and B.Tech programmes offered by the seven participating IISER campuses based on candidates' IAT 2026 ranks, categories, and choices filled during registration. After the declaration of the Round 1 seat allotment on July 24, 2026, the IISER 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Result will be released today, August 1, 2026. Depending on the availability of vacant seats, the admission process may continue through multiple rounds (up to 8–9) during August.

Willingness Options: Freeze vs Float
Once a Round 2 offer appears, candidates must choose between two willingness options before paying the SAF.
Option
What it means
When to choose it
Accept & Freeze
You accept the current seat as final and opt out of further allotment rounds.
Use this if you are satisfied with the offer and do not want any further rank-based upgrade.
Accept & Float
You keep the current seat safely while remaining eligible for a possible upgrade to a higher preference in later rounds. Float is generally activated by default once SAF is paid.
Use this if you want a chance at a better-preference institute in Round 3 or later, while still holding your current seat.
Important Instructions for Round 2 Candidates
Admission offers are provisional until candidates report in person at the allotted IISER and complete document verification.
Requests for extension of the seat acceptance deadline are not entertained under any circumstances; published deadlines are strictly enforced.
Candidates who fail to pay the SAF or submit willingness within the deadline lose the offer and are not considered in subsequent rounds.
Keep your login credentials (application number and password) secure and easily accessible during the entire counselling window.
Regularly check the official portal, as counselling schedules can shift slightly depending on how each round progresses.
What Happens After Round 2 Allotment
Candidates who float after Round 2 remain in contention for Round 3, expected around August 10, 2026, and any further rounds that follow depending on vacancies. Candidates who freeze proceed toward document verification and physical reporting at their allotted IISER. The counselling process may continue for up to 8- 9 rounds in total, depending on how many seats remain vacant after each stage.
