When considering the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) and admissions to IISc Bangalore, it's important to understand the program structure. Here's a clarification:

• IISc Bangalore's Program:
  • IISc Bangalore, through the IAT, primarily offers a 4-year BS (Research) program. Therefore, the program you would be admitted to is a Bachelors of Science (Research) degree.
    
    
  • It is important to note that the IISER aptitude test is used for admissions into the 5 year BS-MS dual degree programs in the IISER's, and the 4 year BS programs in IISC and IIT Madras.
• BS-MS Dual Degree:
  • The 5-year BS-MS dual degree is a characteristic program of the IISERs (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research). This program combines a Bachelor's and Master's degree.
    
    
• Key takeaway:
  • If you are accepted into IISc Bangalore through the IAT, you will be enrolled in a 4-year BS (Research) program, not a combined BS-MS program.

Therefore, you will be enrolled in the Bachelor of Science (Research) degree. To further your studies to a masters degree, you would need to apply to a masters program after the completion of your bachelors degree.

I hope this clarifies the program structure.

Hello Krishna,

Since you missed registering on the COAP portal, you won't be able to apply to IIT Bombay and IIT Hyderabad for M.Tech admissions, as COAP registration is mandatory for these institutes .

However, the COAP 2025 registration is still open . You can register now and use your COAP registration number to apply to other IITs whose application deadlines haven't passed yet.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Register on COAP : Visit the official COAP 2025 portal and complete your registration.

2. Check Other IITs : Look for IITs that are still accepting applications for M.Tech programs.

3. Apply Promptly : Once registered on COAP, apply to these institutes as soon as possible, ensuring you include your COAP registration number in the application.

Remember, COAP registration is essential to access and accept offers from participating IITs . Make sure to complete the registration and applications before the respective deadlines.

Hope it helps !
