The Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) are a group of 20 public and private institutes of higher education in India, which specialize in information technology.
IIITs were created with the aim of providing quality education in information technology and related fields, and producing world-class research. IIITs are governed by a Board of Governors, which includes representatives from industry, academic institutions, and the Government of India.
The IIIT Council is the apex body for coordination and resource sharing among the IIITs.
The first IIIT was established in Hyderabad in 1988, and since then, IIITs have been set up in Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata, Pune, Surat, Chennai, Allahabad, Gawahati, Bhagalpur, Jabalpur, Bhopal, and Visakhapatnam.
Currently, there are 20 IIITs in India, out of which 18 are operational.
The IIITs offer undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in information technology and related disciplines.
The admissions to IIITs are made through various national-level entrance examinations such as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main, the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), and the Common Admission Test (CAT).
The IIITs are also involved in various research and development activities in areas such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, and so on.
The IIITs collaborate with leading universities and research institutes around the world, and many of them have been working on cutting-edge research projects in collaboration with industry partners.
