India International Science Festival

The India International Science Festival (IISF) is a large-scale national science outreach event organized annually by the Ministry of Science & Technology and Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, in collaboration with agencies such as Vigyan Prasar and CSIR. It brings together leading scientists, technologists, industry professionals, educators, and students through exhibitions, talks, workshops, competitions, and public engagement activities.

High school students can participate in various student-focused events, including science exhibitions, innovation challenges, lectures, and interactive sessions, depending on the year’s specific program and host city. Participation offers exposure to cutting-edge scientific work in India, opportunities to interact with researchers and innovators, and a platform to showcase projects or ideas where applicable. The festival is typically free to attend, though travel, accommodation, and selection criteria for specific events may vary by edition.

What is the application deadline for India International Science Festival?

Our catalog holds December 6, 2026, carried over from India International Science Festival's previous cycle, and we have not found that date on the program's own page — so treat it as a placeholder, not a deadline, and confirm it at https://iisf2025.in/.
