Overview
The IISER 2026 Round 4 seat allotment result was released on August 18, 2026, by the IISER admissions authorities for candidates participating in the admission counselling process. Applicants receiving an offer must log in, submit their willingness and pay the Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) by August 20, 2026. This is an admission process rather than a recruitment drive; therefore, the total number of posts is not applicable, while programme-wise seats depend on the approved IISER seat matrix.
