How can we get admission in IISc Bangalore after completing class 12th examination?

Shivani Tiwari
Ayushi Sehgal

KVPY (SA, SX and SB) is the easiest mode of securing admission into IISc Bangalore for UG studies. It is possible to get a seat even with an ordinary rank in the exam. But it is mandatory to register for the admissions beginning February. The other modes are JEE Mains, JEE Advanced and NEET. However, the cutoff ranks for these exams are high. With time, the cutoff ranks for KVPY are also getting higher.

How difficult is it to get a PhD from IISc Bangalore?

Sayantani Barman
Bidita GhoseLives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Well, getting a Ph.D. from IISc is indeed difficult. In my opinion, the true meaning of a Ph.D. is investing your entire efforts, time, and knowledge in one specific region. In India though, Ph.D. is just considered a degree one can achieve by publishing some paper in some conference or journal. The quality of these papers is poor and substandard bringing down the sort of the degree. 

However, IISc being a prestigious institute has managed to maintain the dignity and credibility of the degree so far. You need to prepare yourself for committing to hard work and high-level dedication. Know that your next 5-6 years will be spent proving and disproving every hypothesis possible and conducting infinite experiments.

As a Ph.D. student, you will be publishing a few journals in top international forums and also writing your own thesis, which will culminate your entire work and present it before other researchers and professors of the institute. You will then be assessed thoroughly. Only after proving your point strongly and convincing them will you be able to get the degree. 

During this whole time, you will face many struggles dealing with your PI and securing funds for your research work. But trust me the result will be worth the effort!

At what rank can one get admission to IISC Bangalore?

Raktim Tarafdar
Shikha PoddarStudied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc) (2016)

Being a GE candidate makes every option exponentially harder. Here are some of the exams with their cutoffs (probable) to secure admission to IISc Bangalore for your UG program-

  • KVPY SA and SX- The cut-off varies from year to year and depends on the difficulty level of the examination. It lies around the rank which secures a total of 65 marks.
  • JEE Mains- Because of IISc’s increasing popularity and demand, a score above 325/360 will be good enough. This means a rank in the Top 10 (by marks solely in JEE Mains exam and not taking into account Board Normalization) will secure your admission into IISc Bangalore.

Ultimately though, the JEE Mains cutoff depends on the number of remaining seats after the KVPY admissions have been processed and verified. 

  • JEE Advanced- A rank within the Top 20 will be good enough. Ultimately, it depends on the number of vacant seats after the 1st and 2nd rounds of KVPY counseling.

These are the probable marks & ranks in various exams that are required for your admission into IISc Bangalore.

Also, prepare well if you are called for an interview. The UG program at IISER Pune, Kolkata, and Mohali are at par with the ones offered at IISc Bangalore. IISc Bangalore, however, has years of research experience behind it.

Does IISc Bangalore select students with a low CGPA and average GATE marks?

Shikha PoddarStudied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc) (2016)

In IISc Bangalore, for certain programs, only the GATE scores are taken into consideration. For example- M.Tech (course) in CSA and SSA streams.

In the above-mentioned programs, you have to secure the top 50-100 rank in the GATE CS examination.

For M.Tech in some streams, and M.Tech (Research) and Ph.D. programs, IISc Bangalore uses the GATE score simply as a cutoff. The selection is done based on the written test and subsequent interview. The GATE cutoff for an interview call is relatively low. This is done with the idea that a good student who had a bad exam can still perform extremely well during the interview. For M.Tech/ Ph.D.  CS, this rank is equal to the top 500-1000 ranks(for those who apply), but it can go to 200 for other streams.

Your GATE scores and GPA during graduation become mostly irrelevant once you get called by IISc Bangalore for an interview. They can only work to make the interviewer biased toward/against you, this won’t happen unless you have significantly high or low scores respectively. What matters for your selection is if you can impress the interviewers with your knowledge of the topic(s) that you want to study/research.

Thus, if you go for a course at IISc Bangalore which makes selections through a written test and an interview, make sure to study your topic well and answer the interviewers with confidence.
