IIM Bangalore BSc 2026: ₹34 Lakh Fees, 80 Seats, Full Exam Pattern

IIM Bangalore BSc 2026 full details: eligibility, IIMB UG entrance test pattern, syllabus, ₹34 lakh fees, and whether the Data Science vs Economics course is actually worth it. IIM Bangalore has launched two four-year residential undergraduate programs at its Jigani campus: BSc (Hons) in Data Science and BSc (Hons) in Economics, with 40 seats each, so 80 seats in total. You can exit after 3 years with a plain BSc, or complete the fourth year for the Honours degree. Applications for the 2026 intake close on 15 October, and the entrance test is tentatively scheduled for 15 November. In this video Arjun breaks down the eligibility (Class 10 and 12 pass, with 60% in Class 10 Mathematics, which is mandatory), the entrance test pattern (120 minutes, 60 questions, +3 for correct and -1 for wrong), and the section split: 15 English, 15 Logical Reasoning, and 30 Quant and DI. Half the paper is Quant and DI, so that’s where your prep time goes. Selection is on a composite score, 60% from the entrance test and 40% from the personal interview, which means a weak test score isn’t the end if you make the interview round. We also go subject by subject through both courses so you can pick the right one, and we lay out the honest case for and against the ₹34 lakh fee. The brand, the 80-student batch size, and the faculty access are real. So is the fact that this is a 2026 cohort with zero undergraduate placement record, because the first batch hasn’t graduated yet. We’re not telling you to apply or skip it. We’re giving you both sides so you decide.
