IIIT

From Free net encyclopedia

IIIT is the generic name for several Institutes of Information Technology, each a mini University in itself. Many of these institutions have been subsequently renamed to better identify their affiliations and goals. The IIITs were conceived to be the forerunners in the Information Technology education sector, at a time when India was going through a phase of unprecedented boom in the Software industry. The course curriculum at these institutes are at par with similar offerings at most Computer Science Departments of other reputed universities. Due to the competitive nature of the admission at these Institutions, only a selected few make it to these universities.
