Hello!

You can apply to IISc once your 12th grade results are out and you meet their eligibility criteria. IISc generally accepts applications from February to April each year, so keep an eye out for their announcements around that time.

For the Bachelor of Science program, you’ll need to write the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) if you're applying under that channel. Other accepted exams include KVPY, JEE Advanced, and NEET, depending on your strengths.

Once you pass the IAT or any of these exams, you'll be eligible to start your B.Sc. journey in the next academic session. For more details and updates, feel free to check out our website.

Hello,

Since you’re currently in 12th grade, you can apply to IISc (Indian Institute of Science) for its Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) program in the next admission cycle, typically between February and April. Admissions usually require scores from exams like KVPY, JEE Main, JEE Advanced, or NEET. The IAT (IISER Aptitude Test) is specifically for IISER, not IISc. After completing 12th, you’ll be eligible to start the B.Sc. program if you meet the entrance criteria and admission cutoffs.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

When to Apply:

  • Typically, the application process for IISc's B.Sc. (Research) program opens in October and closes in late October or early November.

  • You'll need to keep an eye on the official IISc website for exact dates and updates.

The Admission Process:

  1. Online Application: You'll need to fill out an online application form, providing details about your academic background, extracurricular activities, and a statement of purpose.

  2. Entrance Test: You'll be required to take the IISc Entrance Test (IIST). This test assesses your aptitude for research and your understanding of basic science concepts.
  3. Interview: Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview.

Starting Your B.Sc. at IISc:

  • If you are selected, you will typically start your B.Sc. program in the following academic year.
  • So, if you apply in 2024, you would likely start your program in 2025.

Important Note:

  • Keep an eye on the official IISc website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
  • Start preparing for the IISc Entrance Test well in advance.
  • Practice previous year's question papers and focus on strengthening your fundamentals in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Hello there,

As a 12th-grade student, if you're aiming for admission to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) , you’ll need to apply in the year you complete your 12th board exams. For IISc's undergraduate B.Sc. (Research) program, admissions are primarily based on national exams like KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana), JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, and NEET scores, depending on the exam(s) you choose to take.

Application Timeline:

  • IISc generally opens applications for the B.Sc. (Research) program around February or March each year, with deadlines usually extending until April.

  • Since you’re currently in 12th, you should be prepared to apply in early 2025, right after your board exams, provided you have taken one of the national-level exams required for admission.

About the IAT and B.Sc. Admission:

  • IISc does not require the IAT (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Aptitude Test) , as that is specific to IISER admissions.

  • You can apply to IISER institutions separately if you are interested, as they also offer B.Sc. and integrated science programs.

To ensure you're on track, keep an eye on the official IISc admissions website around February for specific dates and details.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
