==== Post-graduate coursework programs ====

The two-year M.Tech. program is available in almost all engineering departments. Most MTech programs have a set of hard core courses specified as an essential requirement whereas students can take rest of the credits from many courses available in their parent or other departments and also do a dissertation work on the topic of their choice.

Master's degrees offered by the institute are classified into two categories: degrees by coursework (M.Tech., M.Mgt., and M.Des.) and degrees by research (M.Tech. research).

The Department of Management Studies offers a Master of Management program exclusively for engineering graduates. The Center for Product Design and Manufacturing<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cpdm.iisc.ernet.in/ |title=CPDM, Indian Institute of Science |publisher=Cpdm.iisc.ernet.in |access-date=26 October 2012 |archive-date=28 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121028065328/http://www.cpdm.iisc.ernet.in/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> offers the Master of Design (M.Des.) course. Started in 1996, the M.Des. program is a two-year, full-time postgraduate program.

In keeping with India's recent National Education Policy (NEP 2020), IISc has launched the Master of Technology (Online) degree program, a fully online program, for practicing engineers and scientists from academic year 2022–2023. The degree program is for professionals who are sponsored by organisations, who already have a BE/BTech/Equivalent degree and wish to upskill or re-skill themselves in streams like Data Science and Business Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Electronics and Communication Engineering.

The institute has recently announced MSc program in life sciences and chemical sciences starting from academic year of 2022–23. These 2 years master's degree programs consist of foundational and flexible coursework and hands-on laboratory training. The design is aimed to develop experimental skills in advanced techniques for research, leading to an independent thesis research project. Students enrolled in the M Sc programs can personalize their coursework and research projects.<ref>{{cite web |title=Indian Institute of Science Bangalore |url=https://iisc.ac.in/admissions/msc-programmes/ |access-date=2022-03-07}}</ref>
