After an accidental meeting between Jamsetji Tata and Swami Vivekananda, on a ship in 1893 where they discussed Tata's plan of bringing the steel industry to India, Tata wrote to Vivekananda five years later: "I trust, you remember me as a fellow-traveller on your voyage from Japan to Chicago. I very much recall at this moment your views on the growth of the ascetic spirit in India... I recall these ideas in connection with my scheme of Research Institute of Science for India, of which you have doubtless heard or read."

Impressed by Vivekananda's views on science and leadership abilities, 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 Viceroy George Curzon on 31 December 1898.{{cite web | url=http://cts.iisc.ernet.in/IISc_History.html | title=A Historical Perspective | publisher=Indian Institute of Science | access-date=19 October 2012 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130528235745/http://cts.iisc.ernet.in/IISc_History.html | archive-date=28 May 2013}} Subsequently, Sir William Ramsay, a Nobel Laureate, was called on to propose a suitable place for such an institution who suggested Bangalore as the best location.

The land and other facilities for the institution were donated by Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV and Tata. The maharaja donated about {{convert|371|acre}}{{cite web |url=http://www.iisc.ernet.in/content_Aboutiisc.html |title= :: Indian Institute of Science ::|website=iisc.ernet.in |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111230014431/http://www.iisc.ernet.in/content_Aboutiisc.html |archive-date=30 December 2011}} of land; Tata gave several buildings towards the creation of IISc. This land included the former village of Medaraninganahalli. A Kannada inscription dated to 1669 CE records the donation of Medaraninganahalli to the Mallapura Mallikarjuna temple by the Maratha king Ekoji I. More information about this inscription can be found here.{{Cite web |title=Wikimaps Warper: Viewing Map 1996 |url=https://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/1996#Preview_tab |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=warper.wmflabs.org}} The maharaja also granted Rs 5,00,000 towards capital expenditure and Rs 50,000 for annual expense.[https://www.iisc.ac.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ORIGIN.pdf Origin] iisc.ac.in March 2018{{cite web

The constitution of the institute was approved by Viceroy Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, and the necessary "vesting order" to enable it to function was signed on 27 May 1909.{{cite news|last=Warrier|first=BS|title=The IISc stamp on science research|url=http://www.thehindu.com/education/research/the-iisc-stamp-on-science-research/article2844709.ece|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130204052632/http://www.thehindu.com/education/research/the-iisc-stamp-on-science-research/article2844709.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 February 2013|access-date=22 August 2015|newspaper=The Hindu|date=30 January 2012|location=Chennai, India}} Early in 1911, the maharaja laid the foundation stone of the institute, and on 24 July, the first batch of students were admitted to the Departments of General and Applied Chemistry under Norman Rudolf and Electro-Technology under Alfred Hay. Within two months, the Department of Organic Chemistry was opened. In 1958, the institute was deemed a university by the University Grants Commission of India.{{cite web|url=https://www.ugc.ac.in/oldpdf/Deemed%20University/Deemed%20University%20Final%20List%20as%20on%2006-10-2017.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.ugc.ac.in/oldpdf/Deemed%20University/Deemed%20University%20Final%20List%20as%20on%2006-10-2017.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live|title=List of Institutions of higher education which have been declared as Deemed to be Universities as on 06.10.2017|date=6 October 2017|access-date=30 October 2017|publisher=University Grants Commission}}

At the time of the inception of IISc in 1909, Morris Travers, Sir William Ramsay's co-worker in the discovery of the noble gases, became its first director. For Travers, this was a natural continuation of his work on the institute, since he had played a role in its founding. The first Indian director was the Nobel Laureate Sir C.V. Raman.

The institute was the first to introduce a master's programs in engineering. It has also started integrated doctoral programmes in biological, chemical, physical, and mathematical sciences for natural science graduates.

The architecture of the Main Building, which today houses the administration and the Faculty Hall, is classical in style, fronted by a grey, handsome tower. In front of it stands the work of Gilbert Bayes, a monument erected in the memory of J. N. Tata. At its feet is an inscription that serves to remind future generations of the generosity of Jamsetji Tata and the persistence with which he worked for the welfare of India. The building, as one of the prominent landmarks of Bangalore, was designed by C. F. Stevens and Company of Bombay in 1912–13.{{cite web | url=http://www.bangalorebest.com/WondersOfBangalore/IISC_Bangalore.asp | title=Building as landmark of Bangalore | access-date=17 April 2013 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130403095000/http://www.bangalorebest.com/WondersOfBangalore/IISC_Bangalore.asp | archive-date=3 April 2013}}

J. R. D. Tata Memorial Library is the main library of IISc. Apart from the main library, the institute also has independent departmental libraries. The library moved into the present premises in January 1965, built out of grants provided by University Grants Commission (UGC), in commemoration of the golden jubilee celebrations of the institute in 1959. In 1995, the library was renamed as "J. R. D. Tata Memorial Library". The National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) has recognised this library as Regional Center for Mathematics for the south region and continued to award a special grant towards subscription of Journals in Mathematics.

The annual budget of the library is over Rs. 100 million{{cite web|title=About J R D Tata Memorial Library|url=http://www.library.iisc.ernet.in/About.aspx|access-date=17 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219141034/http://www.library.iisc.ernet.in/about.aspx|archive-date=19 February 2012|url-status=dead}} (almost US$2,500,000) of which subscription towards periodicals alone is about Rs. 90 million. The library currently receives over 1,734 periodical titles, of which 1381 are subscribed, while the remaining titles are received as gratis or on an exchange basis. About 600 titles are accessible through the library subscription. In addition, over 10,000 journals are accessible online, thanks to INDEST subscription. The total holdings of the library exceed 411,000 documents.

The buildings for the metallurgy and aerospace departments were designed by the German architect Otto Königsberger in 1940.Rachel Lee (2012) [http://dev.abejournal.eu/index.php?id=356 Constructing a Shared Vision: Otto Koenigsberger and Tata & Sons.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140107143526/http://dev.abejournal.eu/index.php?id=356 |date=7 January 2014 }} ABE Journal 2

A 10th century hulibete veeragallu, or hero stone commemorating a fight with a tiger, was discovered on the IISc campus in the late 1970s by two children of a professor who lived there.{{cite web |url=https://connect.iisc.ac.in/2020/03/the-land-on-which-we-stand/ |title=The Land on Which We Stand |website=Connect |access-date=2024-10-27}} Veeragallus were typically erected to honor individuals who died in acts of valor, usually civilians.{{cite web |url=https://www.karnataka.com/history-and-heritage/hero-stones-veeragallu/ |title=Hero Stones (Veeragallu) |website=Karnataka.com |access-date=2024-10-27}} They are found mostly in the Karnataka region, dating from the 8th to 17th centuries.{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_stone |title=Hero stone |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2024-10-27}}{{Circular reference|date=February 2025}} Those with inscriptions are especially helpful to historians as they provide more context about the event and martyr.

While the IISc veeragallu lacks an inscription, experts believe it dates to the 10th century when the Western Gangas ruled Bangalore. The sculpture is partially damaged, but you can still see the martyr's left hand gripping a bow and his right hand about to shoot an arrow at an attacking tiger.

This is one of only three known hulibete veeragallus in Bangalore. The others are located at Bangalore University (7th or 8th century) and in Madivala (14th century).

A second campus is in Challakere, on a {{convert|1500|acre|km2}} lot of land. Research centres and labs here include the Talent Development Centre, Skill Development Centre funded by HAL under CSR Act, Solar Power Research Center and a Climate Observatory. The Centre for Sustainable Technologies has commenced its activities here under the project "C-BELT" i.e., the Centre for Bio-energy and Low-Carbon Technologies.{{cite web|title=Indian Institute of Science|url=https://www.iisc.ac.in/challakere-campus-infrastructure-development/|access-date=1 May 2020}}

Janardhana Swamy, then Member of Parliament from the Chitradurga Lok Sabha as well as a notable alumnus of IISc and Amalan Biswas, then DC of Chitradurga District played significant roles in setting up the IISc's new campus at Challakere.{{cite web|title=Indian Institute of Science – Challakere Campus|url=https://iisc.ac.in/challakere-campus/|access-date=4 Jul 2022}} They were instrumental in identifying all the required 1500 acres of land for the new campus, getting the existing building leased from the Sheep Farm, obtaining the various needed approvals from the government, and having the initial funds released from the State.

For academic purposes, departments and centres in the institute are broadly assigned to either the Science Faculty or the Engineering Faculty.{{cite web|title=Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore|url=https://www.iisc.ac.in/academics/departments/#ffs-tabbed-18|publisher=iisc.ac.in|access-date=1 May 2020}} For administrative purposes (such as faculty recruitment, assessment and promotion), departments and centres are classified into six divisions, each headed by a chairperson.

Apart from functioning as a central computing facility of IISc, the SERC is engaged in education and research programs in areas relating to supercomputer development and application. The centre is also involved in several sponsored research projects in collaboration with several high-profile government and private agencies.

The Indian Institute of Science collaborates with various government organisations like the Indian Ordnance Factories, DRDO, the ISRO, Bharat Electronics Limited, Aeronautical Development Agency, National Aerospace Laboratories, CSIR, Department of IT (Government of India), Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, etc. IISc also works in collaboration with private industry and research labs. A few organisations have been incubated by the Society for Innovation and Development (SID) on campus, including Morphing Machines and SandI, while Gamma Porite is currently under incubation. IISc actively promotes and supports ventures by the faculty, the students and alumni. Strand Life Sciences and Ittiam are some success stories of this initiative. In March 2016, a science start-up, incubated at the IISc, built the world's first food-grade DNA/RNA stain. This might cut the time taken to diagnose conditions such as HIV to a day, from 45 days at present.{{cite web|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/iisc-start-up-builds-world-s-first-food-grade-dna-rna-stain-116030200721_1.html|title=IISc start-up builds world's first food grade DNA/RNA stain|last=Reporter|first=B.

Similar situation is created in IISCAANA

by allowing several non-IISc members to be active in the team. IIScAANA allows those who did not complete degree to become members by adding a clause

'completed at least one semester of course work in IISc'{{cite web |url=http://www.iiscaana.org/membership-registration/membership/ |title=Membership Fee & How to become a Member ? |publisher=Iiscaana.org |access-date=27 August 2019 |archive-date=1 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190801113335/http://www.iiscaana.org/membership-registration/membership/ |url-status=dead }} for membership eligibility.
