Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) is the oldest science research institute of its kind in India. Since its inception in 1876, IACS has been conducting research in fundamental sciences at the highest level. IACS is the only institution of India which has earned the Asia’s first and the country’s only Nobel Prize in Science on the basis of the work done

from India. IACS has been conferred a Deemed to be University status under the de novo category for offering degrees in emerging areas of basic and applied sciences vide notification No. F.9-7.2017-U.3(A) dated 26th May 2018 by the Ministry of the Human Resource Development, Government of India. IACS is running its Integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s Program in Science and Master’s /Integrated Master’s-Ph.D. programs in various areas of science along with regular Full-time Ph.D. Program under different Schools, namely, School of Applied and Interdisciplinary Sciences, School of Biological Sciences, School of Chemical Sciences, School of Materials Sciences, School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences, and School of Physical Sciences

Admission to the Integrated Bachelor’s-Master’s Program in Science – 2023

IACS conducts a de novo five-year Integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s Program in Science for highly motivated students who have passed (10+2) level examination in science stream. The objective of this program is to provide high-quality education, research, and training in science. Through this special program, undergraduate teaching is integrated with modern research in all major Schools of the Institute. The first three semesters of the program will comprise foundational courses in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science and Biological Sciences. From the fourth semester onwards, the students will choose one discipline (from Physics, Chemistry, Biological Science, Mathematics and Computer Science) as major, subject to fulfilling eligibility criteria and availability of seats in the respective Schools.
From the seventh semester the students will be directly exposed to research.
Applications are invited from bright and motivated Indian nationals for admission to the Integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s Program in Science-2023 likely to begin from August 7, 2023. The applicants who are due to complete their 10+2 level Board Examinations are eligible to appear in a UG Pre-Interview Screening Test (UPST). UPST-2023 will be conducted in a fully computer-based test mode, tentatively on May 14th, 2023 in various cities across India.
For the UPST, candidates need to attempt 15 questions (3 marks each) from the three compulsory subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) and another 15 questions (3 marks each) from either Biology or Computer Science.
(a) A cut-off mark will be set based on the aggregate-score of the three compulsory subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) in the written test for shortlisting for interview. However, candidates will have to secure a minimum mark in each of the four attempted subjects to become eligible for interview.
(b) Final merit list will be prepared giving appropriate weightage to the scores of both the written test (aggregate of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology/Computer Sciences) and interview.

The shortlisted candidates will be called for interview, out of which a maximum of sixty (60) candidates will be selected for the Program as will be declared in the IACS website. The selection will be based on the performance in UPST followed by interview, and subject to obtaining 60% marks (reservation criteria will be applied as per rules) in the qualifying board (10+2) examination. IACS reserves the right to fix the subjectwise minimum eligibility marks and aggregate cut-off marks in the UPST and also the weightage of the interview and the written test. Admitted students entering into the fourth year may be eligible to receive monthly stipend, following the institute norms. Admission under the reserved categories, including EWS will be as per rule
