💡 Expert Tip
IISER Mohali's scrutiny process is strict — your online form data is treated as your primary document.

If you are a Central/State Govt employee, you MUST upload the NOC (Annexure-A) AND the Experience Certificate (Annexure-B) on official letterhead before the last date or send via email to recruitment@iisermohali.ac.in before the written test/interview. OBC-NCL certificate must be issued within 2 years of 15/06/2026 — older certificates will be rejected. EWS certificate must be valid for FY 2025-26 specifically. Applications where data was incorrectly filled CANNOT be edited after submission — all corresponding work must be done before you hit Submit.
