History

Jamsetji N. Tata, founder

After a chance meeting between Jamsetji N. Tata and Swami Vivekananda on a ship in 1893, where they discussed Tata's plan of bringing steel industry to India, Tata wrote to Vivekananda five years later:^{[3] [4]} Download high resolution version (480x640, 30 KB) Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

Impressed by Swami Vivekananda's views on science, and leadership abilities, Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata wanted him to guide his campaign. Vivekananda endorsed the project with enthusiasm, and Tata, with the aim of advancing the scientific capabilities of the country, constituted a Provisional Committee to prepare a plan for setting up of an Institute of research and higher education. The committee presented a draft proposal to Lord Curzon on 31 December 1898. Subsequently, Sir William Ramsay, a Nobel Laureate, was called on to propose a suitable place for such an institution who suggested Bangalore (now Bengaluru) as the best location.

The land and other facilities for the institution were pitched in from Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore, Government of India, and Tata himself. While the Maharaja donated 372 acres (1.5 km²) of land free of cost, Jamsetji Tata gave several buildings and landed properties towards the creation of IISc.^[5] Since then, Government of Karnataka gifted lands during the Golden Jubilee and Platinum Jubilee of the Institute making the current land holding of the Institute 443 acres (1.79 km²).^{[citation needed]} Morris Travers (1872-1961) was an English chemist who discovered xenon with Sir William Ramsay. ...

The Institute

IISc Main Building

The Institute has been able to make many significant contributions primarily because of certain uniqueness in its character. It is neither a National laboratory, which concentrates solely on research and applied work, nor a conventional University, which concerns itself mainly with teaching. However, the Institute is concerned with research in frontier areas and education in current technologically important areas. Because it is a relatively small institution, it is able to innovate and introduce newer systems of imparting knowledge and educational reforms such as offering courses under a unit system and trying out methods of evaluation, which are highly reliable (citetion required).

Research contributions

Academic structure

Departments and centers in the Institute are broadly assigned to two categories: science and engineering. Two Deans, one each for Science and Engineering administer their respective category.

The faculty of science comprises three divisions:

• Division of Biological Sciences
• Division of Chemical Sciences
• Division of Mathematical & Physical Sciences

The engineering faculty are divided into two divisions:

• Division of Electrical Sciences
• Division of Mechanical Sciences

Each of these five divisions are administered by a divisional chairman. Each department or centre, under these divisions, is administered by a Chairman of the department or centre.

The following centers are directly under the director (without a divisional chairman):

• Centre for Continuing Education
• J. R. D. Tata Memorial Library
• National Centre for Science Information
• Supercomputer Education and Research Centre
• BioInformatics Centre
• Digital Information Services Centre

National Centre for Science Information - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ...

Degrees offered by the institute

Degrees offered by the institute may be broadly classified into two categories: Degrees by Research (Ph. D, integrated Ph. D and M.Sc. (Engg.)), and degrees by coursework (M. E. / M. Tech. / M. B. A. / M. Des.).

Research programmes leading to M. Sc.(Engg.) / Ph.D. degrees are the main thrust in many departments. The programme has a limited amount of course work, essentially to prepare the student to carry out the research, but the main emphasis is on the thesis work. Research students constitute the largest group on the campus and the Institute awards about 200 Ph. D and M. Sc.(Engg) degrees each year, which is probably the largest for any institution in India. The annual intake of research students is approximately 250 with several candidates sponsored from educational institutions and industries.

The Integrated Ph.D. programme is designed to offer exciting opportunities to motivated and talented B. Sc. graduates with a keen sense of scientific enquiry for pursuing advanced research in frontier areas of Biological, Chemical and Physical Sciences leading to the Ph. D degree of the Institute.

Two year programmes leading to M. E. or M. Tech. by course work are available in almost all engineering departments. A unique feature of the M. E. / M. Tech. programmes at the institute is the credit system which allows students to tailor the courses to suit their aptitude and interest. Most M. E. / M. Tech. programmes have a set of hard core courses specified as an essential requirement whereas students can take rest of the credits from many courses available in their parent or other departments and also do a dissertation work on the topic of their choice. These courses attract highly motivated accomplished students, in addition to several sponsored candidates from R & D labs/industries and also from educational institutions under the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP).

The Department of Management Studies, one of the oldest management schools in the country (established in 1948), offers an MBA programme exclusively for engineering graduates. The Center for Product Design and Manufacturing offers the Master of Design course. Started in 1996, the M. Des. programme is a two-year full-time graduate programme.

Admission Procedure

Admission into IISc is highly competitive. Usually only the top 1 percent candidates qualifying the GATE examination are able to clear the cutoff for M. E. / M. Tech. admissions. Depending on the department and the number of students, the cutoff goes much higher. Admission to research programmes of the Institute is based on career analysis and interview in the campus. Candidates are called for interview based on the entrance test of the Institute or any other test recognised by the Institute (which depends on the choice of department and specialization). For M. E. or M. Tech., the admission is through the GATE examination conducted every year. In addition for M.Sc.(Engg.), a personal interview may also be required. For Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), which has a ceiling strength of only 25 seats across India, the admission is through the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) examination, conducted jointly by IISc and IITs. In addition, a group discussion and personal interview is also conducted to select the candidates. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an exam is the gateway for M.Tech. ...

Institute-Industry interaction

The interaction of the Indian Institute of Science faculty with the industry is mediated by two specialized centers, the Centre for Scientific and Industrial Consultancy (CSIC) and the Society for Innovation and Development (SID).

CSIC was established in 1975, with the responsibility of promotion of institute-industry relationship for mutual benefits and advancement. CSIC provides the interface through which industries and organizations can quickly and effectively gain access to the expertise and facilities of the Institute in the fields of science, technology and management. The centre also promotes the formation of a network of informal contacts between scientists and engineers in the Institute and those in industry allowing for a continuous and easy flow of information and ideas. Since 2007, CSIC has also taken up the responsibility of placement of students graduating from the institute.

The SID was founded in the year 1991, in close collaboration with IISc. The mission of SID is to enable India's innovations in science and technology by creating a purposeful and effective channel to assist industries and business establishments to compete and prosper in the face of global competition, turbulent market conditions and fast moving technologies.

The SID and the Institute adopted a unique program known as the Faculty Entrepreneurship Program. The program supports startup initiatives wherein faculty members participate by providing their intellectual property (not necessarily a patent, but knowledge) to run the start up company. The program enables the Institutes faculty to explore their intellectual property in a business proposition, provide support and employment to people, earn revenue and bring research closer to society's needs.

Simputer is a product of this Faculty Entrepreneurship Program, with participation by the faculty of the Department of Computer Science and Automation.^[7][8] The Simputer is a self-contained, handheld computer, designed for use in environments where computing devices such as Personal Computers are deemed inappropriate. ...
