The Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) is expected to publish the Round 2 Seat Allotment 2026 today on its official admission portal. Candidates who participated in the counselling process can log in using their application number and password to check whether they have been allotted a seat.
Unlike the first round, the second round is particularly important for candidates who opted for the Float option or were waiting for an upgraded campus based on their preferences and seat availability.
Candidates can check the IISER Round 2 Seat Allotment Result 2026 on the official admission portal:

Candidates should rely only on the official IISER website for the latest counselling updates.
For many aspirants, Round 2 is an opportunity to secure a better IISER campus than the one offered earlier.
Depending on seat withdrawals, upgraded choices, and available vacancies, candidates may receive:
A newly allotted seat
An upgraded IISER campus
The same allotment as Round 1
No allotment if seats are unavailable
This makes Round 2 one of the most crucial stages of the counselling process.

Accept the allotted seat.
Pay the Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) online.
Choose between the Freeze or Float option.
Wait for institute-specific admission instructions.
Missing any deadline may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.
One of the biggest decisions after seat allotment is selecting Freeze or Float.
You are satisfied with the allotted IISER.
You do not want to participate in further counselling rounds.
You wish to confirm your admission immediately.
You accept the current seat.
You also want to be considered for a higher-preference IISER in future rounds.
Choosing Float allows candidates to retain the current allotment while remaining eligible for an upgrade if vacancies arise.
The admission offers are prepared after considering multiple factors, including:
IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2026 Rank
Category of the candidate
Preferences filled during counselling
Availability of seats
Seat withdrawals in previous rounds
Candidates with better ranks and higher preference matches generally have greater chances of receiving upgraded allotments.
