The IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) is conducted every year to take admission to the BS-MS dual degree program at the institutes. The exam aims to identify students with a strong foundation in science subjects and a keen interest in scientific research. The test assesses knowledge in subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and requires a blend of analytical skills and subject proficiency. The syllabus for the same is as follows-
