When it comes to research excellence in India, the phrase “Research Powerhouse of India” is increasingly associated with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. Established in 1909, the institute has built a legacy of pioneering science and engineering research, and over time has become a hub for innovation and advanced study.
A key reason for its strong reputation is its consistent top ranking in the research category of the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) for the years 2021 through 2025. For example, in 2022 IISc scored 98.68 in the quantitative research metric. The institute’s ranking methodology includes metrics such as qualitative research output, quantitative research output, students & faculty contribution, outreach and inclusivity, and perception.
What sets IISc apart is its multidisciplinary approach—bringing together science, engineering and applied innovation under one roof—rather than focusing narrowly on one domain.
