# Indian Institute of Science Bangalore

**APIs profiled:** 5

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore is India's premier research-intensive university, founded in 1909, and ranked #211 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. IISc does not operate a formal, centralized public developer portal. Its confirmable public machine-readable footprint is academic: the ePrints@IISc institutional repository (EPrints software) exposes an OAI-PMH metadata interface, and the DSpace-based ETD@IISc theses repository is likewise OAI-compliant. Individual labs and centres publish open source on GitHub (for example cni-iisc, csl-iisc, val-iisc), but there is no single official institutional GitHub org with public repositories or a documented REST API program.
