What Resources Does the IISc Website Offer Current Students?
Updated
Current students at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) can find most of the practical academic and campus information they need through the Student Corner section of iisc.ac.in. This area links to general student information, fee structure, hostel and campus facilities, health services, grievance redressal, and official forms. The site is organized as a navigation hub: it tells you where things are and links to the relevant pages, but it is not a self-service portal for every transaction.
Academic and administrative resources
The Student Corner groups the documents students most often need to locate:
- General information, including the medium of instruction at IISc and the status of IISc.
- CGPA to percentage conversion guidance, useful when applying to employers or other institutions.
- Official transcripts — the page points to the process for requesting them.
- Migration certificate / TC information.
- Relabelling of MSc(Engg) — relevant if your programme designation is changing.
- Useful forms, collected in one place rather than scattered across departments.
- Online PhD thesis processing with ScholarOne, for doctoral students submitting their thesis.
- Academic Integrity guidance and the Student Code of Conduct – 2019.
- Student Information Handbook 2026, the Scheme of Instruction Aug–Dec 2026 Term, and the UG Students' Handbook 2025-26 — these are the reference documents for course rules and term planning.
If you need a specific form or handbook, start at Student Corner and follow the labelled link rather than searching the whole site.
Fees and student affairs
The Fee Structure page under Current Students sets out what you owe and when. Related links cover the Students Affairs Committee and the Ombudsperson, which are the channels for issues that fall outside routine administration.
Grievance redressal
The site lists Guidelines for Student's Grievance Redressal, plus two separate complaints channels:
- Internal Committee Against Sexual Harassment (ICASH)
- Complaints related to caste-based discrimination
These are distinct from the general grievance guidelines, so choose the channel that matches your situation.
Campus life resources
The Current Students section also covers day-to-day living:
| Topic | What the site provides |
|---|---|
| Hostels/Mess | Hostel and mess information |
| Gymkhana | Student activities and facilities |
| Health Centre | Campus health services |
| Auditoria and Seminar Halls | Venue information |
| Campus Facilities | Overview of what is available on campus |
| Students Council | Student representation |
| My Life@IISc | A student perspective on studying at IISc |
The Office of Laboratory Safety and Environmental Health is listed separately, which matters if your work involves lab access or safety training.
Practical navigation tips
- Use the Student Corner as your entry point. The site's top navigation is broad (About, Administration, Academics, Faculty Corner, and so on); the student-specific links are consolidated under Current Students.
- Check the dated documents first. Handbooks and schemes of instruction carry term or year labels (for example, the Aug–Dec 2026 scheme). Confirm you are reading the version for your current term.
- Expect links, not transactions. The pages describe processes and point to forms; the actual submission steps depend on the office or system named on each page.
- Use the Telephone Directory and Holidays-2026 pages when you need to contact a specific office or check whether the institute is open.
The site does not publish pricing or login details for these student resources in the material available, so treat any access requirement as something to confirm with the relevant office rather than assuming open access.
