PUNE: Ever since the inception of the Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) in 2006, only about 40 to 50 per cent of the total enrolments had managed to take place. However, the academic year 2010 has seen 100 per cent admissions denoting a rise in interest among students for pure sciences.
A A Natu, admissions head at IISER, Pune, said, "Initially, we were worried about filling up the seats. The first year had seen only 45 per cent enrolments. But, last year and this year has been really good as far as admissions are concerned."
