Admission open for Ph.D at Indian Institute of Science

The Indian Institute of Science was founded in 1909 as a result of the joint efforts of Jamsetji Nussarwanji Tata, the Government of India and the Maharaja of Mysore.  Tata conceived of a university of science in 1896 that would work for the benefit of India, and in 1898, created an endowment for establishing such an institution.  The Government of India decided to locate the Institute in Bengaluru, where the Maharaja of Mysore, Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, donated over 370 acres of land for this initiative.

Applications are invited for admissions to (i) Research Programmes [Ph D / M Tech (Research)] (ii) Course Programmes [M Tech/M Des/M Mgt], (iii) Ph D (Integrated) Programmes, and (iv) External Registration Programmes (Ph D). Eligibility criteria, specialisations, areas of research and other details are available at separate links on the IISc website.
