Minimum Eligibility for Different Streams

Applicants must meet these minimum eligibility requirements listed below to apply to a stream. Applicants must also be nominated by their respective companies who have an MOU with IISc for this program.

Admissions Test and Interview

All nominated candidates who have applied to the program and meet the eligibility criteria will be asked to attend an online written/programming test for the streams they have applied to. For the DSBA stream, applicants will further be shortlisted based on the written test and need to attend an online interview.
