Is IISc Down?

If you're experiencing issues with IISc, try these troubleshooting steps:

Basic Steps

• Check your internet connection: Ensure your device is online. Try loading a different website (e.g., a search engine) to confirm your network is stable.
• Clear browser cache and cookies: Stale data can cause pages to load incorrectly. Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then reload the IISc website (https://www.iisc.ac.in).
• Try a different browser or device: If the site fails on one browser, test with an alternative (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) or a mobile device to rule out browser-specific issues.
• Disable VPN or ad-blockers: These tools can interfere with the IISc domain or its subpages. Temporarily disable them and refresh the page.
• Use a direct URL: Navigate directly to https://www.iisc.ac.in rather than relying on search results or saved bookmarks to avoid redirect problems.

Intermediate Steps

• Flush your DNS cache: This resolves outdated IP address mappings. Open your command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux) and run: ipconfig /flushdns (Windows) or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache (macOS).
• Test on a different network: Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) to check if your ISP is throttling or blocking the IISc domain.
• Check for regional outages: Core IISc services (e.g., admissions portal, faculty pages) may be under maintenance during local off-peak hours. Wait 15-30 minutes and retry if the failure is intermittent.
• Verify HTTPS/SSL connection: If you see a security warning, your system clock may be incorrect. Sync your device's time and date settings, then refresh the page.
