AIISH Mysore Courses and Fees

AIISH conducts 18 long-term academic programmes from diploma through post-doctoral level. The courses focus on audiology, speech-language pathology, hearing-impairment rehabilitation and connected applied sciences. As a fully government-funded national institute, AIISH charges lower fees than private institutions offering comparable courses.

Fees under the NRI quota are higher. BASLP costs INR 8.79 Lakhs over 4 years, while the 2-year M.Sc fee is INR 6.41 Lakhs. These amounts remain below the fees for similar programmes at private universities abroad. AIISH is India's only national institution devoted entirely to speech and hearing sciences.

AIISH Mysore Admission Process

The All India AIISH Entrance Examination is the selection test for the flagship BASLP and M.Sc programmes in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology. It is conducted each year as a Computer-Based Test (CBT), and applicants do not need a NEET score.

BASLP Admission

For BASLP, students must pass 10+2 from a recognised board with Physics and Chemistry along with Biology, Biotechnology or Mathematics. General-category applicants need at least 50%, while SC/ST applicants need 40%. The maximum age on the admission date is 25 years, with relaxation available to reserved categories.

• Complete registration and submit the form through the AIISH admission portal, aiishmysore.in, within the application period.
• Get the admit card and take the AIISH CBT, which is an objective test based on Biology and Science.
• AIISH prepares the rank list using CBT scores.
• Attend counselling and seat allocation at AIISH Mysore.
• Submit documents for verification and confirm admission.

M.Sc (Audiology and SLP) Admission

An applicant for M.Sc Audiology must have a BASLP degree from a recognised institution with at least 50%, or 45% for SC/ST candidates. A BASLP background is also necessary for M.Sc SLP. Both courses use the AIISH CBT, but postgraduate candidates receive a separate PG-level question paper.

B.Ed and M.Ed (Hearing Impaired)

B.Ed applicants need a bachelor's degree in any subject with 50% marks. Entry to M.Ed requires a B.Ed with Hearing Impairment specialisation and 50% marks. AIISH selects students through its institutional entrance procedure and merit.

Ph.D. Admission

Ph.D. applicants need an M.Sc or M.Ed in the relevant specialisation with at least 55%. Selection includes the AIISH Ph.D. entrance test followed by an interview. Under UGC rules, candidates who have qualified NET-JRF may receive an exemption from the written examination.

AIISH Mysore Placements and Career Outcomes

AIISH does not organise standard campus placement drives. BASLP and M.Sc graduates qualify as licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists. Demand for these professionals is high and continues to grow in public and private healthcare across India.

Employment options include AIIMS and other government hospitals, central and state government medical colleges, rehabilitation units in private hospitals, Ministry of Social Justice rehabilitation centres, schools for children with hearing impairment and independent clinics. AIISH alumni also work as faculty members at AIISH, AYJNIHH Mumbai and state government institutes.

Professional practice in India requires AIISH graduates to register with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). Some alumni continue into higher education or clinical fellowships overseas, especially in the United States through ASHA and in the United Kingdom through RCSLT.

AIISH Mysore Scholarships

Students can access scholarship and fellowship support funded by the central government. AIISH already provides SC/ST students with the reduced fees shown above, and the following schemes offer further assistance.

AIISH Mysore Campus and Infrastructure

NAIMISHAM, the main AIISH campus, occupies 32 acres in the academic area of Manasagangothri, Mysuru, alongside the University of Mysore. Facilities include teaching blocks, advanced laboratories for audiology and speech-language pathology, and a full audiological diagnostic centre that treats patients.

Thousands of patients use the campus clinic each year for hearing assessments, hearing-aid fitting, speech therapy and cochlear-implant rehabilitation. Students therefore receive clinical training in one of India's most active speech and hearing settings. The main campus has a ladies' hostel, while the Panchvati campus provides the gents' hostel. Two satellite centres in Mysore support community outreach and rehabilitation work.

AIISH Mysore vs AYJNIHH Mumbai vs Manipal College of Allied Health Sciences

Students considering audiology or speech-language pathology often compare AIISH Mysore, Ali Yavar Jung National Institute of Speech and Hearing Disabilities (AYJNIHH) in Mumbai, and Manipal College of Allied Health Sciences (MCOAHS) in Manipal. All three offer BASLP and M.Sc study in these fields.

AIISH and AYJNIHH are national institutes supported by the government, so both provide subsidised fees. Manipal CAHS costs considerably more but places students within a larger university offering wider exposure to allied health fields. Among the three, AIISH has a NAAC A grade and a 32-acre clinical campus with a strong research focus. A student's location preference and the timing of each entrance test can also shape the final decision.
