Spot admission rounds for non-CUET candidates are also accessible to outstation applicants on 10+2 merit basis.

Ques. What is the difference between B.Sc Hons and B.Sc Hons with Research under FYUGP at JIST?

Ans. Under NEP-2020 FYUGP, a student completing 4 years with the required CGPA and a research project or dissertation earns a B.Sc (Hons with Research).

Ques. Does JIST conduct its own B.Sc entrance exam, or is CUET-UG the only route?

Ans. JIST does not conduct its own B.Sc entrance exam. Admission is through CUET-UG 2026 via the DHE Assam Samarth Portal.
