<p>Just did a little research and I find that both IIST & IISER only look at your IIT-JEE rank.</p>

702

<p>I think Barca’s attack>>>Chelsea’s attack</p>

703

<p>Arsenal > Barca > Chelsea… die hard Gunner.!!</p>

<p>@ prateek : wassup bro? long time…</p>

704

<p>We are clearly biased :p.
Barca is my favourite team in Spain though, no doubt</p>

705

<p>whoa!!!football revisited!!!
btw hi vandit?</p>

706

<p>Haaah…another gunner
Yeahhy :D</p>

<p>nothing much apart from post examination boredom…you tell me? How’s the prep for Penn coming along?</p>

<p>@whoever researched IISER- There is another way…more safe in my opinion. Its called the Kishore Vigyan Protsahan Yojana. Its really cool. I would suggest everyone to apply! I’m not sure if you can do that in class 12th though. Check- [KVPY</a> - Home](<a href=“http://www.iisc.ernet.in/kvpy/]KVPY”>http://www.iisc.ernet.in/kvpy/)
As far as IIT-JEE is concerned, even extended merit list people can apply to IISER for admission, though I guess preference is given to KVPY scholars.
Fellowship includes-

  • Rs. 4000 p.m. until 12th standard
  • Rs. 5000 p.m. from 1st to 3rd year in B.Sc./Int.M.Sc./B.E./B.Tech./M.B.B.S.
  • Rs. 7000 p.m. 1st,2nd year M.Sc./3rd,4th year Int. M.Sc./4th,5th year BE/B/Tech./M.B.B.S.
  • Contigency grant of 4 months fellowship p.a. for all the above
  • KVPY fellows will be directly elligible to attend interviews/counselling for admission to 5 year Integrated M/Sc. programme conducted by the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research Mohali/Pune/Kolkata
  • The Summer Programme for KVPY Fellows is organised by IIT Bombay or IISER where the Fellows get an opportunity to work on innovative projects(sort of research training) under the guidance of distinguished engineering faculty.
  • An Identity Card is issued to each KVPY Fellows. Most national laboratories, universities and other institutions have agreed to extend special privileges like library, laboratory facilities to KVPY Fellows on production of the ID card.</p>

<p>BUT… If I go to a foreign university or some engineering college, they will take away my pocket money! <em>WAILS</em> Still, I heard KVPY is very highly respected in college apps. Maybe coz its fairly selective. No. of students selected-
2005- 107
2006- 95
2007- 125
2008- 198</p>

<p>@Prateek- Unless I get some amzing research oppurtunity, I will prefer to complete my grad before job. As per low rank-high aid, parents wouldn’t understand anyways…</p>

708
