印度班加罗尔科学院基本概况

　　印度班加罗尔科学院也称印度国家科学院，成立于1911年，目前在QS世界大学排名中位列第190位。印度班加罗尔科学院的基本概况是怎样的呢?下面就和留学群一起来了解吧。

　　一、关于印度班加罗尔科学院

　　The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) was founded in 1909 as a result of the joint efforts of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the Government of India, and the Maharaja of Mysore. In 1886, Jamsetji Tata conceived of a university of science that will work for the benefit of India, and in 1898 created an endowment for establishing such an institution. The Government of India then took up the effort, and, in consultation with scientists in England and in India, decided to locate the Institute in Bangalore, where the Maharaja of Mysore, Shri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, donated 372 acres of land. The Institute was formally vested in 1909, the foundation stone was laid in 1911, and the first batch of students started their studies in the same year. Over the 105 years since its establishment, IISc has become the premier institute for advanced scientific and technological research and education in India. Beginning with 2 departments and 21 students in 1911, today IISc has 39 departments, units, or centres, 3500 students, and about 500 academic and scientific staff, supported by 600 administrative personnel.

　　印度班加罗尔科学院成立于1909年，是贾姆谢特吉·塔塔、印度政府和玛哈拉贾联合努力的结果。1886年，贾姆谢特吉·塔塔设想在印度建立一所理科大学，以此为印度服务。1898年，他准备了捐赠基金，准备创立理科大学。印度政府随后采取行动，和本国及英格兰的科学家商议，决定在班加罗尔建立理科大学。在班加罗尔，玛哈拉贾捐赠了372英亩土地。1909年，印度班加罗尔科学院正式被授权，1911年开始动工。同年，招生了第一批学生。建校105年以来，印度班加罗尔科学院已成了印度高科技研究的重要基地。1911年建校的时候，科学院两个部门和21名学生。今天，印度班加罗尔科学院已有39个部门、单位和研究中心，有3千5白名学生、近5百名专业和科学人员，以及6百名行政管理人员。

　　二、印度班加罗尔科学院的历史

　　In 1886, Jamsetji Tata conceived of a university of science that will work for the benefit of India, and in 1898 created an endowment for establishing such an institution. The Government of India then took up the effort, and, in consultation with scientists in England and in India, decided to locate the Institute in Bangalore, where the Maharaja of Mysore, Shri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, donated 372 acres of land. The Institute was formally vested in 1909, the foundation stone was laid in 1911, and the first batch of students started their studies in the same year.

　　Over the 105 years since its establishment, IISc has become the premier institute for advanced scientific and technological research and education in India. Beginning with 2 departments and 21 students in 1911, today IISc has 39 departments, units, or centres, 3500 students, and about 500 academic and scientific staff, supported by 600 administrative personnel. Out of this population of students, about 2200 are in various PhD programs, almost 900 are enrolled for various Masters degrees, whereas about 400 are registered in the newly established, research oriented, four-year Bachelor of Science (Research) programme, of which the first batch will graduate in 2015.

　　In the recent years, with new centres such as CiSTUP (The Centre of Infrastructure, Sustainable Transportation, and Urban Planning), the Divecha Centre for Climate Change, the Centre for Earth Sciences, the Centre for NeuroScience, the Centre for Excellence in Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), and the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems (RBCCPS), the Institute has vigorously promoted inter-disciplinary research. Indeed, CiSTUP, RBCCPS and a new Centre for Brain Research (funded by a large private endowment) are expected to conduct translational research in their respective areas, in order to better connect with industry and society.

　　With the recent construction of modern buildings, acquisition of new research facilities, and induction of a large number of new faculty members, the Institute can look forward to an era of high productivity, increasing impact, and rising prominence in the world.

　　1886年，贾姆谢特吉·塔塔设想在印度建立一所理科大学，以此为印度服务。1898年，他准备了捐赠基金，准备创立理科大学。印度政府随后采取行动，和本国及英格兰的科学家商议，决定在班加罗尔建立理科大学。在班加罗尔，玛哈拉贾捐赠了372英亩土地。1909年，印度班加罗尔科学院正式被授权，1911年开始动工。同年，招生了第一批学生。

　　建校105年以来，印度班加罗尔科学院已成了印度高科技研究的重要基地。1911年建校的时候，科学院两个部门和21名学生。今天，印度班加罗尔科学院已有39个部门、单位和研究中心，有3千5百名学生、近5百名专业和科学人员，以及6百名行政管理人员。在学生群体中，注册各类博士课程的大约有2千2百人，注册各类硕士学位课程的将近9百人，注册本科学位课程的大约有4百人。班加罗尔科学院的本科学位是新设立的研究型学位，属于四年制理学士学位。第一批本科学位学生毕业于2015年。

　　近年来，班加罗尔科学院新成立了一些中心，比如基础设施、可持续交通与城市规划中心，Divecha气候变化中心，地球科学中心，神经科学中心，纳米科学与工程优秀中心和Robert Bosch 网络物理系统中心。这些中心极大推动了科学院跨学科研究的发展。确实，为了更好第与企业和社会联络，基础设施、可持续交通与城市规划中心，Robert Bosch 网络物理系统中心和最新成立(得到私人慷慨捐赠)的脑研究中心更是被给予厚望，从事各自领域的转化研究。

　　近年来，班加罗尔科学院修建一些了现代化楼房，获得了新的科研设备，引进了大量的新员工，因此有望迎来一个属于它的时代，达到高的生产效率、提升影响力和国际地位。
