IISc Bengaluru to Accept JoSAA Counselling for BTech Admissions in 2026

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru is changing how it admits students to its BTech program.

Starting in 2026, students can apply through JoSAA counselling, which uses JEE Advanced ranks.

This is the same process used by many other top engineering schools in India.

The JEE Advanced exam will be held on May 17, 2026, and is conducted by IIT Roorkee.

IISc is a very famous and highly ranked university, both in India and worldwide.

It has been ranked 96th globally for Computer Science and has consistently been in the top two positions in India's NIRF rankings.

Before 2026, IISc had its own admission process, but now it will use JoSAA to make things simpler for students.
