(Thanks to the Suryanarayanan’s comment number 147 in https://www.orissalinks.com/archives/285).
The IISER admission site at http://www.iiser-admissions.in/ says that there will be three ways to get admission in the IISERs: (i) KVPY (ii) IIT JEE and (iii) Direct.
But by "Direct" they mean through an aptitude test that will be held on July 18 2010. They say:
Direct Admission is open to applicants who have Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and/or Biology in their class 12 board examination. Aptitude Assessment consists of a written test. It will have multiple choice questions on Physics Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology based on CBSE syllabus up to class 12.
The NISER NEST exam will be on June 6th. Details at http://www.nestexam.in/index1.php.
IISERs and NISER should have co-ordinated to have a single test. It does not make sense to have separate tests for admission into similar programs. Such lack of co-ordination and foresight is what encourages the government to interfere and issue diktats.

A combined test for all IISERs, NISER, CBS etc is in the best interest of both students and institutes. My impression is, last time NISER had very difficult time in getting its seats filled. If I remember correctly, they waited for 2nd round waiting list…Meaning student dint want to join. Hope this time it is different.
My personal opinion is that, a combined test is in the interest of NISER. Since a combined test will increase the visibility of the institute in all parts of country due to the clubbing.
So as to why a cmobined test could not be done, my guess will be – because NISER comes under DAE and IISERs under MHRD.

Including biology in the aptitude test will put ppl who didnt opt for it at a disadvantage.It shud definitely not be included.
