I have secured 95.83% in +2, this year 2017. I want to join iiser. I heard about the direct admission without any aptitude test. Is it possible? Am i eligible for the direct admission?

No, you cannot get a direct admission in IISER but you can get admission without aptitude test. The full details are mentioned below.
In IISER (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research) there are 3 ways to get admission they are:
1. Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) Exam
2. JEE Exam
3. IISER Aptitude test
The 50% seats are allotted to the KVPY exam and JEE exam candidates and remaining 50% seats are allotted to the state and central board students based on their IISER aptitude test merit list.
