Indian Institute of Science - [IISc], Bangalore - Cutoff Details

You will not find an answer to this particular query anywhere. This is because IISc Bangalore and all the IITs release score-based GATE cutoffs for admissions into the M.Tech program. These cut-offs are not rank-based.

However, the most favorable chances for you are if your All India GATE rank is above AIR 50. This is not the case for all M.Tech branches at IISc Bangalore but for most of them.

Here is the branch-wise GATE cutoff for admissions into the M.Tech program at IISc Bangalore (General Category)-

These are the IISc Bangalore score-wise GATE cutoffs for the most sought-after streams in M.Tech. 

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.
