Hello

To get admission to IISc Bangalore through JEE Mains , both percentile and rank matter.

1. Cutoff Percentile : IISc Bangalore requires a 99.5+ percentile for General category students and for OBC candidates, the cutoff is slightly lower but still around 99.3 - 99.4 percentile based on previous trends.

2. Rank Matters : Your All India Rank (AIR) is crucial because IISc considers ranks while shortlisting candidates. Generally, you need a rank within the top 500-600 for a strong chance, though OBC candidates may get in with a slightly lower rank (around 800-1000).

Can You Get Admission at 99 Percentile?

At 99 percentile , your rank will likely be around 10,000 - 12,000, which is too high for IISc.

You need at least 99.5+ percentile (AIR under 1000-1500 for OBC) for a realistic chance.

Dear aspirant !!

Hope you are doing well !

Yes, you can get admission in IISc UG through JEE Main. If you score a very good rank in JEE Main but not in JEE Advanced, then you can get into IISc on the basis of JEE Main rank only.

a JEE Main rank under 250 is generally required for BSc Research, while for BTech, a JEE Advanced rank within the top 1000-2000 is usually needed.

While you can technically get admission to IISc Bangalore through JEE Mains only, achieving a 99 percentile might not be enough; you would likely need a very high rank within that percentile, as the cut-off for IISc is extremely competitive and requires a near-perfect score to secure a seat, making a "good rank" crucial for admission.

IISc Bangalore has a very high cut-off for admission through JEE Mains, often requiring a percentile close to 99.98 for the general category.

You can primarily access the B.Sc (Research) program at IISc through JEE Mains scores.

For better chances, many aspirants also attempt exams like KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana) alongside JEE Mains.
