Hello there,

Yes, IISc Bangalore offers admission to its 4-year B.Sc. (Research) program through the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) , but not a direct 5-year B.Sc.-M.Sc. integrated course via IAT.

Key Points:

1. Program Offered : 4-year B.Sc. (Research) with option to extend for 1-year M.Sc.
   
   

2. Admission via IAT : Apply for IAT and also separately on IISc admission portal .
   
   

3. Course Structure : First 3 semesters - common subjects, later specialization and research projects.
   
   

4. Eligibility for M.Sc. Extension : Based on academic performance during B.Sc.

Note : IISc application opens from May 1 to June 6, 2025.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hi

After the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT), a student selected for the Bachelor of Science (Research) program at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore will be admitted to the BS (Research) programme

Thanks

When considering the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) and admissions to IISc Bangalore, it's important to understand the program structure. Here's a clarification:

• IISc Bangalore's Program:
  • IISc Bangalore, through the IAT, primarily offers a 4-year BS (Research) program. Therefore, the program you would be admitted to is a Bachelors of Science (Research) degree.
    
    
  • It is important to note that the IISER aptitude test is used for admissions into the 5 year BS-MS dual degree programs in the IISER's, and the 4 year BS programs in IISC and IIT Madras.
• BS-MS Dual Degree:
  • The 5-year BS-MS dual degree is a characteristic program of the IISERs (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research). This program combines a Bachelor's and Master's degree.
    
    
• Key takeaway:
  • If you are accepted into IISc Bangalore through the IAT, you will be enrolled in a 4-year BS (Research) program, not a combined BS-MS program.

Therefore, you will be enrolled in the Bachelor of Science (Research) degree. To further your studies to a masters degree, you would need to apply to a masters program after the completion of your bachelors degree.

I hope this clarifies the program structure.
