In the first round all their seats except J&K (supernumerary) were filled. They posted a  waitlist in case a few back out. 

The semester fee at NISER is Rs. 9800 of which Tuition fee is Rs. 6000. (See https://www.niser.ac.in/admission2022/fee_structure.php) In comparison, the semester fee at IISER Pune is Rs. 53340 of which Tuition fee is Rs. 36,740 (See https://www.iiserpune.ac.in/storage/medi...f9ff53.pdf ) This is a distinct advantage NISER has over IISERs. 

In addition all students at NISER (who do not get another scholarship, such as INSPRE) and CBS get Disha scholarship from DAE if/when they maintain 6 GPA or above. See the video below. This alternative does not exist at IISERs or IITs. See video at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eb_5L1S61Xk . Currently the Disha scholarship is Rs. 5000 p.m + Rs 20,000 a year.

Indeed some students backed out, they went through the first round waiting list and then a  second round was held. The second round general admission queue ended at rank 500. It appears all seats were again filled after the second round.
