The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) announces an update for prospective students and stakeholders regarding its fee structure, which will take effect from the academic year 2026-27.
The tuition fee for the undergraduate Bachelor of Science (Research) programme will be Rs 80,000 per annum, on par with other high-ranking Indian academic institutions. The tuition fee had remained unchanged at Rs 10,000 per annum since the inception of the programme in 2011.
PhD programmes and some Master’s programmes will also see an increase in the tuition fee.
These changes will apply from the forthcoming academic year, once new admissions begin, and do not apply to existing students at the Institute.
The change in fee structure has been implemented after careful consideration and review, with the goal of sustaining and improving the Institute’s academic programmes, resources, facilities, and other support services, to provide exceptional, well-rounded education for students at all levels.
The Institute will provide financial support towards tuition fee waivers/tuition fee reimbursement for all reserved category and EWS students.
Details on admissions and timelines for the new academic year will be announced soon on the IISc admissions website (https://admissions.iisc.ac.in/).
