      Q: Does IISc Bangalore offer admission based on KVPY?

      A: Earlier, IISc Bangalore used to consider KVPY scores for B.Sc (Research) admissions. However, it now considers only IAT and JEE Advanced scores for B.Sc (Research) admission. 

      Q: What is the IISc Bangalore cutoff percentile for MBA?

      A: IISc Bangalore offers a Master of Management program. For M.Mgt admission at IISc, a CAT percentile of 98 or above is generally required for General category candidates.
