Answer laterIf i clear SA stream of kvpy exam will I be able to get admission in IISC college Bangalore or will I have to answer SB stream exam again?
No you don't have to answer SB again, you can get admission into IISC with these scores.
But it is better if you depend on the scores of JEE, NEET or any other exams for the IISC preparation as the KVPY cutoffs tend to be really high.
IISC follows a very tough selection procedure so be prepared.
All the Best!!!
