Admission to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) undergraduate program can be pursued through various channels, including the KVPY stream, where high-ranking candidates are invited for counseling to select their preferred group. The admission process is flexible, with options to apply offline and through merit list rounds. IISc boasts a well-qualified faculty, most holding PhDs and prioritizing subject comprehension. The faculty-to-student ratio is favorable, and many faculty members have international educational backgrounds.

As a government-funded institution, IISc offers affordable fees, significantly lower than IITs, with general category fees ranging from Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000, and even lower for OBC, ST, and SC categories. The admission fee is Rs 26,000, including additional charges. Though placements are limited, with less than 7 out of 100 students participating, those who do secure positions receive substantial packages, with an average salary of 15 lakhs per annum and a highest offer of 60 lakhs.

Many students pursue higher studies, with 60% accepted into prestigious international PhD programs. The placement cell is supportive, and students can engage in placements after completing required credits. Internship opportunities begin in the second year, with options in both academia and industry, including companies like TATA Industries and Infosys, as well as government organizations like ISRO. Scholarship opportunities are plentiful, with the majority of students benefiting, significantly reducing tuition fees.

Key scholarships include the KVPY and INSPIRE, offering Rs. 5,000 monthly stipends, and SC/ST students are exempt from tuition fees. The total BSc course costs around Rs. 4 lakhs, with 99% of students receiving a Rs. 60,000 per annum scholarship. First-year admission fees include Rs. 20,000 admission, a Rs. 25,000 refundable deposit, and Rs. 33,000 for tuition, while hostel and mess fees are approximately Rs. 5,000 each per month. Despite limited placements, students gain valuable experience through internships with organizations like HAL, ISRO, and DRDO.

Life at IISc- Pros and Cons

Dislikes

It is necessary to study at least three subjects from PCMB for first three years

Fees and Financial Aid:

The tution fees is quite less and does not increase that much. It costs around 4 lakhs to complete the course (including tution, hostel and mess charges). 99 percent of students get a scholarship of 60000/- per annum (people who do not get it is the ones who failed in the semester in the previous year and can renew it next year) which is either from INSPIRE/IISc Promotional Scholarship. There are no major employment opportunitites that I have undertaken since I am just going to seciond year now.

IISc Bengaluru: the premier research institute of India

Academic load: Quizzes are held every week, sometimes surprises quizzes are held with no prior information. The assignments given require detailed solutions and contribute to the final grade. Hence the academic load is relatively high here.

The tuition fee is very cheap and affordable in order to promote research culture in India. There has not been an increase since the last 10 years. For first year students, they will have to pay an admission fee of 20000, a refundable security deposit of 25000, and 33000 as the tuition fees for first year. The tuition fees for second, third and fourth years continues similarly. The hostel charges are 5000 per month, and the mess charges will vary depending on what meals you choose but it comes to approximately 5000 per month. One of the good things about IISc is that almost all the students are provided with scholarships to study. SC and ST students are directly waived off from paying any tuition fees. For the rest of students there exists INSPIRE Scholarship which gives you a stipend of 5000 per month. Till 2022 when KVPY mode was running, KVPY scholars were given 5000 monthly stipend with 20000 annual contingency grant.

Prosperity in iisc

The fees here are like every other tier 1 college, but almost every student has a scholarship, being it due to low family income and also because of high cpi and jee rank. Campus jobs are very rare but we can always do certain internships.

Indian Institute of Science ( IISC ) , Bangalore

The fees is almost negligible for the Students as All most every Student is getting a Scholarship from NTSE or KVPY or directly by the Institute, It will barely cost you 50000 rupees for your whole course even if you do not avail Scholarship. It is very likely here to get an Internship Job for the Students in Organisations like HAL, ISRO and DRDO but everything depends upon your hard work

The mahadbt is the scholarship form filled by maximum students. After that students with high score go for Inspire scholarship. The students who are not eligible for mahadbt scholarship as there family income is more so they xan apply for the freeship form.

The best college for research in India

I have kvpy scolarship which give me 5000 per month and 20000 at the end of the each year. Iisc have its own scolarship also for those students who got no scolarship. The kvpy scolarship gives us reasonable money.
