About IIIT Allahabad

The Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-A), was established in 1999, as a center of excellence in Information Technology and allied areas. The institute was conferred the “Deemed University” status by Govt. of India in the year 2000.

The Institute has been conceived with the ambitious objectives of developing professional expertise and skilled manpower in Information Technology (IT) and related areas. As an apex nucleating institute in the area of IT, the establishment of IIIT-A, is a major step of Govt. of India towards strengthening the indigenous capability necessary for exploiting profitably and harnessing multi-dimensional facets of IT at all levels, and attaining expertise to enable the country to emerge as a leading player in the global arena.

The institute is established in a sparkling new campus at Jhalwa, on the outskirts of Allahabad. Some portion of the Nehru Science Center, within the Allahabad University campus, is also on lease.

The Jhalwa campus includes two Computer Centers with six labs each, 16 lecture halls, electronic library, and a residential campus. An open air theater, stadium and various recreational facilities are under development.
