IISc Bengaluru will admit BTech Mathematics and Computing students through JoSAA 2026 using JEE Advanced ranks only.

Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru has changed its BTech admission process from this academic year. The institute will now admit students through the JoSAA 2026 counselling process instead of conducting separate counselling.
Candidates with a valid JEE Advanced 2026 rank must register on the JoSAA portal to secure seats. The move aims to simplify admissions and align IISc with IITs and other top institutes. JoSAA registration will begin on June 2, 2026.

What Has Changed in IISc BTech Admission Process?
Earlier, IISc handled admissions separately. Students had to fill the IISc BTech application form and attend counselling conducted by the institute. From 2026 onwards, admissions will be done only through JoSAA. Students must:
- Register on JoSAA portal
- Fill choices
- Participate in centralized seat allotment
This will make the process faster, transparent, and similar to IIT admissions.
Which Courses Are Offered at IISc Bengaluru?
IISc Bangalore currently offers two undergraduate programmes:
- BTech in Mathematics and Computing (via JEE Advanced)
- BS in Research (via IISER Admission Test – IAT)
Only the BTech programme comes under JoSAA counselling. BS admissions will continue through IAT separately.
