Indian Institutes of Information Technology

IIIT is the general name given to many Institutes of Information Technology in India.  The course curriculum of these institutes is at par with similar offerings at the Computer Science departments of Indian Institutes of Technology. As the competition is so high these days, only a selected few make it to these universities.Many of these institutions have been subsequently renamed to better identify their affiliations and goals. The IIITs were conceived to be forerunners in the information technology education sector, at a time when India was going through a phase of unprecedented boom in the software industry.

• IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Bangalore follow a Public Private Partnership model with significantly larger participation from industry (unlike the Institutes in Gwalior and Allahabad that are fully government owned). Both the Institutes became full-fledged Universities in 2004-05 and were required by Universities Grant Commission (UGC) to change their names to “International” Institutes instead of “Indian” Institutes.
• IIIT Gwalior the first among the IIITs and pioneer among these institutes was established by Government of India and was recently rechristened Atal Behari Vajpayee IIITM Gwalior in honour of India’s former Prime Minister. It offers a world class education and is consistently rated among the top T-schools in India.
• IIIT Allahabad was started by Ministry of Human Resource Development (Govt. of India) to provide an outstanding and highly rated educational experience with state-of-the-art infrastructure. IIIT-A is also rated among top Engineering Schools in India
• IIIT Bhubaneswar has been established in 2007 with a to be a knowledge seeking Institution of higher learning that will educate students in technology and other disciplines of scholarship. The Institute will work closely with the Industry and other users of the technology to develop and deliver technological solutions to enhance their competitive position. The Institute is committed to the entire value chain of knowledge creation, diffusion and preservation to meet the challenges of the century. The Institute will borrow best practices in education delivery systems, research and consulting practices. Leveraging technology to bring about next generation of practices will be a key to this strategy.

According to the Budget 2008 20 more IIIT’s under the Public-Private Model, are to be launched soon for every major state of India.
