The BS-MS Dual Degree Programme at IISERs offers two main scholarships: the KVPY fellowship and the INSPIRE fellowship. The KVPY fellowship provides students with a monthly stipend of Rs 5000 for the first three years and Rs 7000 for the subsequent two years, contingent on qualifying the KVPY exam conducted by IISc Bangalore. The INSPIRE fellowship is awarded to students who are in the top 1 percentile of their 10+2 exam or secure an All India Rank below 10000 in JEE Main or Advanced.
Recipients receive Rs 5000 monthly for five years and an additional Rs 20000 annually if they engage in a summer internship. Fees for the program are structured as follows: General category students pay Rs 54,200 per semester, which includes tuition, hostel, and other fees, while SC/ST students pay Rs 17,500 per semester. The semester fee tends to increase by approximately 10% annually. Additional costs include a separate mess fee, which is Rs 3600 for a 30-day month and Rs 3720 for a 31-day month.
Overall, the program is estimated to cost around Rs 7-8 lakhs over five years without any category benefits.
