Hello,
For admission to IISc Bangalore’s undergraduate programs, specifically through JEE (Main/Advanced) or KVPY channels, candidates generally need to meet minimum percentage criteria in their 12th board exams. For the general category, IISc requires at least 60% in aggregate in the qualifying exam (class 12) for PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) . Since your aggregate in PCM is 59.9%, you might just fall short of this criterion. However, different admission channels (KVPY, JEE, NEET) could have their own variations in cutoffs, so it would be best to verify the specific eligibility through the official IISc notification.
As for the IAT (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Aptitude Test), it usually requires at least 60% aggregate for general category candidates in the qualifying exam . Your overall aggregate being above 80% may make you eligible to appear for the IAT, as eligibility is based on overall performance, not just PCM scores.
Since eligibility criteria can change, it's always good to cross-check with the latest updates on the official websites of IISc and IAT. If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC), the cutoffs might be relaxed.
Hope it helps !

Normally, a good score in entrance exams like KVPY, JEE Main, JEE Advanced, or NEET would provide eligibility to get admitted into IISc Bangalore through its undergraduate programs. IISc does not exactly state the PCM percentage cut-off for these exams. However, a 59.9% score in PCM might not get you through the eligibility cut-offs in case the institute promises certain PCM aggregate percentage cut-offs. In any case, you should verify the eligibility requirements stated officially for the current year.
For IAT, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Aptitude Test, usually a general category student should have passed PCM with at least 60%. Since your percentage in PCM stands at 59.9%, you might not be eligible, but overall percentage is more than 80%, so you might get benefitted with other criteria. It is best you check the latest official guidelines for confirmation.
