IIITs in India

Posted on April 20, 2014August 11, 2018 By Ignite Engineers 16 Comments on IIITs in India

Along with IITs and NITs, for last 15 years a new trend of Technical Institutes IIITs are building up its brand across the country. These Institutes have been set up to excel the Information & Communication Technology field in India. Though as a brand, IIITs are very new in comparison to IITs and NITs, many of them provide high quality and state of the art education, infrastructure and facilities. The education system of some of the IIITs are in some case similar or even better to many of the NITs and some of the new IITs also. IIITs hold the status of Institutes of National Importance. To know more about IITs and NITs go through the posts ”IITs in India” and “NITs in India” respectively. IgEn presents much more details about individual IIITs in different other posts. This post is meant to inform you the brief information about all the IIITs in India.

There has been a continuous confusion in the names of the IIITs.

IIIT stands for mostly : Indian Institute of Information Technology

                                                 : International Institute of Information Technology

IIIT Delhi stands for    : Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi

      Dear Sharmaji,

      Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology is a Delhi state government Autonomous Institute. It is named as IIIT Delhi from the beginning. Though it does not come under Indian Institute of Information Technology chain, but the quality of faculty, study curriculum, placement record, and the research output of the institute could make it an Institute of National Importance.
