Subject: Urgent: Request for Release of Vacant Seat Matrix, Spot Rounds, and Action on Potential Seat Wastage

Dear Members of the Joint Admissions Committee (JAC),

I am writing to you as an IISER aspirant currently participating in the 2026 admissions counseling to urgently request greater transparency regarding seat allocations and the implementation of measures to prevent seat wastage. Specifically, I am requesting the official release of the vacant seat matrix after every counseling round and the confirmation of spot rounds.

There is a pressing concern among the student community regarding the current allocation dynamics. Many RE-NEET candidates are currently holding IISER seats as a temporary backup. As medical admissions progress, it is highly likely that a significant number of these candidates will suddenly leaving seats at very last minute.

If this issue is not addressed promptly, there is a severe risk that these premier institute seats will be permanently wasted once regular counseling concludes. This ultimately deprives highly motivated, deserving candidates of the opportunity to pursue foundational sciences.

To prevent this loss, I earnestly request the JAC to take swift action by:

* Publishing a detailed vacant seat matrix immediately following the conclusion of each counseling round so students have a clear understanding of seat availability.

* Officially conducting Spot Rounds at the end of the regular counseling process. Instituting a dedicated spot round is crucial to ensure that any seats abruptly vacated by migrating medical students are filled by waitlisted IISER aspirants.

* Implementing stricter withdrawal deadlines and penalties alongside these spot rounds to minimize late cancellations and streamline the final allocation process.

Thank you for your time, dedication, and prompt attention to this critical matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

IISER Application Number: [Insert Application Number]

Genuine request

Request from my side ....thoda samay nikale read it 😊

Guys, ek cheez clear karni thi sabse 🙏

Agar kisi ke paas IISER backup option hai, toh obviously koi dikkat nahi hai. But abhi NEET counselling aur baaki counselling processes chal rahi hain. Agar tumhe lagta hai ki kisi aur college/course mein tumhara selection ho jayega, aur meanwhile IISER ki seat milne ke baad tum usse freeze karke doosri counselling ka wait kar rahe ho, toh please ek baar zaroor sochna.

Kyuki agar counselling ke end mein tum IISER ki seat chhodte ho, toh ho sakta hai woh seat kisi aur genuinely interested student ko time par na mil paye. Cut-offs already kaafi high/competitive ja rahe hain, aur ek seat kisi ke liye bahut important ho sakti hai.

Haan, sab apna fayda dekhte hain, aur woh understandable hai. But agar tumhe almost sure hai ki IISER join nahi karna, toh sirf backup ke liye seat hold karne ke bajay time par withdraw kar dena better hoga. Isse woh opportunity kisi aur ko mil sakti hai.

Aur jo students partial drop ke baare mein soch rahe hain, woh bhi IISER ke academic structure aur workload ko dhyan mein rakhkar decision lena. Agar IISER join kar rahe ho, toh genuinely padhai par focus karna better hai; aur agar kisi aur option ko choose karna hai, toh timely decision lena bhi fair hai.

End mein decision obviously sabka personal hai. Bas request hai ki decision lete waqt apne saath-saath un students ke baare mein bhi thoda socho jinke liye wahi IISER seat unka best/only option ho sakti hai. ❤️

No hate to anyone, just a genuine request. 🙌
