Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is a public institute for research and higher education in science, engineering, design, and management.

It is located in Bangalore city in India, and was established in the year 1909

The Institute occupies nearly 400 acres of prime land in Bangalore, generously donated by the Maharaja of Mysore in March 1907.
