The Indian Institute of Science has a rich legacy of fundamental scientific contributions as well as the application of its research findings for societal benefit. Our undergraduate programmes provide rigorous exposure to a diverse and fertile mix of ideas from science and engineering.
The Bachelor of Science (Research) programme at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is a unique four-year undergraduate programme designed for students with a strong curiosity for science and discovery. It combines rigorous training in fundamental sciences with early and sustained exposure to research in a world-class academic environment.
Students receive a broad foundation in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and Humanities during the first three semesters, followed by specialization in one of five Major disciplines—Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Earth & Environmental Science. Interdisciplinary learning is a core strength of the programme, with students encouraged to take courses across disciplines.
The Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programme at the Indian Institute of Science offers a rigorous, industry-relevant undergraduate education grounded in science, engineering, and computation. Students are well-prepared for professional careers across technology and engineering sectors, while also having opportunities to pursue advanced studies and research as they progress. Located in Bengaluru — one of India’s leading technology and innovation hubs — the programme benefits from strong industry interaction, a vibrant startup ecosystem, and exposure to cutting-edge technological developments.
Each BTech programme is designed as a focused academic pathway, enabling students to develop strong technical skills and practical expertise from the outset. The four B.Tech programmes offered are Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mathematics and Computing, and Mechanics and Computing. Embedded within IISc’s dynamic academic environment, the programmes combine strong fundamentals with hands-on learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and modern engineering practices to support both career readiness and future academic growth. Students also benefit from access to world-class laboratories, collaborative
projects, and a highly research-active campus that fosters innovation, problem-solving, and leadership.
