No PhD students in ISEC for two years
Nation’s premier research institute has been struggling with student intake
Since its establishment in 1972, the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) has positioned itself as one of the premier institutions not just in Bengaluru but across the country. However, since 2017 it has been struggling with student intake.
For two consecutive academic years (2018–19 and 2019–20), there have been no PhD scholars admitted to ISEC — which is funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research and the government of Karnataka.
