Established in 1917, Maharani's Science College for Women (located on J.L.B. Road, Mysuru) is an autonomous, premier government institution permanently affiliated with the University of Mysore (UoM). The college is dedicated exclusively to providing state-subsidized, high-quality technical and scientific education for women. Holding an 'A' Grade accreditation by NAAC, the college accommodates thousands of female scholars across flexible undergraduate and research-oriented postgraduate courses. Admissions follow a highly transparent framework, heavily relying on academic merit for regular paths and university-level entrance performance for specialized post-graduate slots.
The entry pipeline varies distinctly based on the level of the curriculum chosen:
Undergraduate (UG) Admissions: Admission to the flagship B.Sc. and BCA options is strictly merit-based. The college evaluates candidates primarily on the total aggregate marks achieved in their 10+2 / 2nd PUC qualifying board examinations. The reservation brackets established by the Government of Karnataka are strictly maintained.
Postgraduate (PG) Admissions: For its elite master's paths (M.Sc. and MCA), the college coordinates directly with its parent university. Candidates must mandatory appear for the University of Mysore PG Entrance Exam. Seats are dynamically allocated under two structural brackets: Scheme A (Government Subsidized Slots) and Scheme B (Self-Financing / Partially Subsidized Slots).
Final Verification: After structural merit rankings or entrance cutoff percentiles are finalized on the portals, short-listed candidates are notified to physically report to the Chamarajapuram campus for document authentication and seat validation.
Aspirants must ensure they satisfy the baseline academic prerequisites set down by the University of Mysore before locking their choice choices:
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. - Multiple Specializations): Applicants must have completed their 10+2 / 2nd PUC education from a recognized board with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in the science stream. Candidates must have mandatory studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology as core technical subjects.
Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA): Candidates must clear their 10+2 education from a recognized stream with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks, with Mathematics being a compulsory subject in their 10+2 curriculum.
Master of Science (M.Sc. tracks): A prospective scholar must possess a Bachelor's degree (B.Sc. Honours or General) in a relevant subject matter from a recognized university, carrying at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved category pupils of Karnataka). Passing the central UoM PG Entrance Test is also essential.
Master of Computer Applications (MCA): A valid Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks, supplemented by foundational computational papers at the graduation level.
The academic timelines track the official state board and university exam declarations for the 2026 intake cycle:
Because the institute is public-funded, registration processing metrics and course architectures are priced low to promote absolute economic democratization:
Application & Registration Processing Fees: A nominal processing cost ranging from INR 100 to INR 250 is levied during form submission, which can be easily paid through online banking channels or direct bank challans.
B.Sc. Total Fee Portfolio: The entire 3-year aggregate tuition and structural institutional fee stands at approximately INR 80,955 across prominent tracks like Food Sciences, Biochemistry, Sericulture, and Biotechnology.
BCA Total Fee Portfolio: The technical 3-year degree package is economically valued at INR 61,050 in total.
M.Sc. Course Fee Structure: Post-graduate studies (Botany, Applied Zoology, Chemistry, Microbiology) cost roughly INR 28,500 for the full 2-year duration under regular public quotas.
Scholarship Linkages: High-achieving pupils and candidates belonging to marginalized classifications (SC, ST, and OBC) can seamlessly access complete tuition fee reimbursements and supplementary maintenance stipends via the State Scholarship Portal (SSP) of Karnataka or the central sector National Scholarship Portal (NSP).
