Being a GE candidate makes every option exponentially harder. Here are some of the exams with their cutoffs (probable) to secure admission to IISc Bangalore for your UG program-

• KVPY SA and SX- The cut-off varies from year to year and depends on the difficulty level of the examination. It lies around the rank which secures a total of 65 marks.

• JEE Mains- Because of IISc’s increasing popularity and demand, a score above 325/360 will be good enough. This means a rank in the Top 10 (by marks solely in JEE Mains exam and not taking into account Board Normalization) will secure your admission into IISc Bangalore.

Ultimately though, the JEE Mains cutoff depends on the number of remaining seats after the KVPY admissions have been processed and verified. 

• JEE Advanced- A rank within the Top 20 will be good enough. Ultimately, it depends on the number of vacant seats after the 1st and 2nd rounds of KVPY counseling.

These are the probable marks & ranks in various exams that are required for your admission into IISc Bangalore.

Also, prepare well if you are called for an interview. The UG program at IISER Pune, Kolkata, and Mohali are at par with the ones offered at IISc Bangalore. IISc Bangalore, however, has years of research experience behind it.

The expected final CAT 2023 cutoff for IIM Ahmedabad is 99 (if you have 80+ percentage in 10th, 12th and Bachelor’s). If not, around 99.5+ percentile is a decent CAT score to expected a call.
