APPLY

Please note that the ISS follows a rolling admissions policy and as such, you can expect a decision on your application (both for Stage I and Stage II) very soon after you have submitted it.

With a limited number of seats remaining, applicants are encouraged to submit their applications before the final deadline.

The online application process comprises two stages:

Stage I: Pre-application

Applicants submit some preliminary details about themselves through a simple, online application form that may be accessed by clicking on the ‘Apply Now’ below.

Stage II: Submission of Statement of Purpose & Requisite Documents

Applicants who qualify for Stage II of the online application process will be required to submit a Statement of Purpose, a Letter of Recommendation & other documents, details of which will be provided by the ISS over email.

Applications for ISS 2026 are now closed.

We are grateful for the strong response received this year.

For matters relating to the 2026 session, including exceptional individual circumstances, please contact admissions@issnewdelhi.in. Due to the volume of correspondence received, we may not be able to respond to all messages.

Program Dates: 29 June - 7 August 2026

We wish you a wonderful Summer 2026.
