SCAM OF IAT 2026 , ( We want to know why colleges are closed even when there is a chance of getting seats vaccant later)

2 Upvotes

I talked to a guy today he is currently doin a job in banglore and was graduated from iiser pune , i asked him about the college how we got pune etc , he told me that he got iiser kolkata , and since he was not getting pune and the date of joining was near , he left for iiser kolkata setup his room and took 15 days of classes (in iiser kolkata ) and after this all he got a offer letter from iiser pune !

the main reason i am thinking why this happend
Seats got vaccant after he joined (iiser Kolkata) due to some reasons in iiser pune and he kept on float ( yes u could float and go to college ( freezeing a college was not mandatory)

But in this year , JAC closed colleges ( to prevent counselling and classes( in iisers) going on simultaneously) , but since there are neet students who are still floating some of them will leave the seat to 1) Go in better iiser ( they could have got) ; 2) Go in a Medical college and hence seats could get vaccant again
but due to this new college closing mechnaism a student is not allowed to float ! ( after his all higher prefrences are filled , he needs to freeze or reject !)
and even if a seat gets vaccant later , iiser might leave that seat as it is ( empty) , even after having students deserving that seat !

Please mail JAC about this issue , and ask about the accountability of empty seat , how will those gets filled , any info about this,
