Ans. Yes. All four B.Sc specialisations at JIST (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Information Technology) are offered under the NEP-2020 FYUGP framework introduced from 2023-24. Students may exit after three years with a B.Sc or complete year 4 for a B.Sc (Hons) or B.Sc (Hons with Research), subject to ASTU CGPA requirements.

Ques. Can students from outside Assam apply for B.Sc at JIST?

Ans. Yes. Unlike B.Tech at JIST which requires Assam domicile via CEE, the B.Sc programmes are open to all Indian citizens through CUET-UG 2026. Non-Assam students with a valid CUET-UG score can apply via the DHE Assam Samarth Portal. Spot admission rounds for non-CUET candidates are also accessible to outstation applicants on 10+2 merit basis.

Ques. What is the difference between B.Sc Hons and B.Sc Hons with Research under FYUGP at JIST?

Ans. Under NEP-2020 FYUGP, a student completing 4 years with the required CGPA and a research project or dissertation earns a B.Sc (Hons with Research). A B.Sc (Hons) is awarded on completion of the 4-year programme without the research component. Specific CGPA thresholds are governed by ASTU regulations and may be updated each academic year.

Ans. B.Sc IT at JIST covers programming, data structures, databases, web technologies, cloud computing, and networking. Graduates can enter software development, IT administration, and government tech roles. For competitive private-sector roles, graduates typically build a strong portfolio or pursue M.Sc Computer Science programmes at ASTU or central universities via CUET-PG.

Ques. Does JIST conduct its own B.Sc entrance exam, or is CUET-UG the only route?

Ans. JIST does not conduct its own B.Sc entrance exam. Admission is through CUET-UG 2026 via the DHE Assam Samarth Portal. Students without a CUET-UG score can apply during spot admission rounds based on 10+2 merit. Both routes are notified on jist.ac.in and assamadmission.samarth.ac.in after CUET-UG results are published.
