Indian Institute of Science

IISc UG application form opens mid to late February and deadline is late March to April.

Apart from the IAT (Integrated Aptitude Test), the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) is also admitting students through the following channels:

1. KVPY Channel (discontinued since 2022) - now not an option for admission.
2. JEE Advanced Channel: If you possess a valid JEE Advanced rank under the relevant cutoff, you may get admission.
3. SCB Channel: Admission based on a candidate's 10+2 marks in Science stream and the CUET-UG score (which was recently introduced as a score for some IISERs ).

The channels may vary yearly, so always refer to the official IISER admission portal.

That's a fantastic question! As a BiPC (Biology, Physics, Chemistry) student, you have a wealth of options at IISER Bangalore and IIT Madras. At IISER Bangalore, you can pursue a five-year BS-MS dual degree program, where you can major in Biology, Chemistry, or Earth and Environmental Sciences. At IIT Madras, you can apply for the four-year B.S. degree in Biological Sciences. These are excellent choices for a student with a BiPC background, offering a strong foundation in Science with opportunities for interdisciplinary studies and research.
