Indian Institute of Science

IISc offers an exceptional opportunity for its students to broaden their horizons by participating in international exchange programs. The International Student Exchange programme (ISEP) is a popular provision for students interested in studying abroad and gaining exposure to different cultures and academic environments. ISEP at IISc provides collaborations with several renowned foreign universities, including the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Students can choose from a wide range of academic programs and research opportunities offered by these universities and gain valuable experience in their respective fields. The ISEP programme is highly competitive, and only a limited number of IISc students are selected annually based on their academic performance and research potential. However, the programme provides generous financial support, including travel expenses, tuition fees, and living expenses, to ensure that students can make the most of their exchange programme without any financial burden.
