💡 Expert Tip

The biggest elimination risk here is the 50% marks requirement — if you have a CGPA-based degree, you must convert it to percentage using your university's official formula and upload the documentary proof. IISc will not accept a conversion formula you calculate yourself. Also, this is a 26-year age cap with no upper limit relaxation for OBC in the standard sense — check your age carefully against the closing date of 18/06/2026, not the exam date. IISc also explicitly states that candidates currently in Govt/PSU/Autonomous Body service must upload an NOC or a signed undertaking committing to produce NOC at document verification — missing this step causes summary rejection.
