I want to know the history of Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore so will you please tell me?

Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is a public university for scientific research and higher education located in Bangalore, India.

It was Established in 1909 with active support from Jamsetji Tata and H.H. Sir Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore.

It acquired the status of a Deemed University in 1958.

The land and other facilities for the institution were donated by H.H. Sir Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore, and Tata himself.

The constitution of the Institute was approved by the Viceroy, Lord Minto, and the necessary Vesting Order to enable it to function was signed on 27 May 1909.

Early in 1911, the Maharaja of Mysore laid the foundation stone of the Institute, and on 24 July, the first batch of students were admitted in the Departments of General and Applied Chemistry under Norman Rudolf and Electro-Technology under Alferd Hay.

Within two months, the Department of Organic Chemistry was opened.

With the establishment of the University Grants Commission in 1956, the Institute came under its purview as a deemed university.
