The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, offers highly selective undergraduate programmes in Science and Engineering disciplines that combine strong academic foundations with a deep culture of research and innovation. Anchored in IISc’s globally recognised research ecosystem, these programmes are designed to prepare students for leadership roles in science, technology and higher education.
The four-year Bachelor of Science (Research) programme, introduced in 2011, is research-intensive by design, providing broad interdisciplinary training in the initial years followed by specialisation in a major discipline. Students may choose majors in Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Environmental Sciences, Mathematics and Physics. The programme culminates in a substantial faculty-guided research project, making it an ideal pathway for careers in research and academia.
IISc offers Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) programmes, starting with Mathematics and Computing (since 2022) and expanding with three new B.Tech programmes from the Academic Year 2026. These modern programmes have been designed to cater to the rapidly evolving technological landscape. The goal is to integrate strong theoretical foundations, hands-on research exposure, and industry-relevant skills, enabling graduates to pursue high-quality placements in leading technology organisations as well as research and higher studies. The location of IISc in Bengaluru—India’s technology and startup hub—further strengthens opportunities for industry interaction, internships, and innovation-driven careers.
Choose from two distinct pathways — one rooted in science & discovery, the other in engineering & computation.
Faculty are engaged in active research, and students gain early exposure to real-world problems through hands-on learning, projects, and interaction with ongoing research activities.
Cross-register across 40+ departments. Take courses in quantum physics, machine learning, or neuroscience — regardless of your programme. IISc encourages boundary-crossing.

Hear directly from our students about life, research, and growth at IISc.
IISc has exceeded my expectations. I have had the opportunity to take advanced classes in areas of my interest and develop a deep understanding of research. The faculty has been extremely helpful, and my peers teach me something new every day.
Choosing B.Tech at IISc turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. It opened me to the challenging world of applied mathematics and gave me a solid foundation in computational techniques to pursue modelling in any field I choose.
There is no other place like IISc. Students are encouraged to explore different disciplines, and professors — with their extensive knowledge and eagerness to explain everything — not only enhance your skillset but instil work ethics and encourage you to take on future challenges.
