About IIIT-H
“Our decade
long work at IIIT-H has shown how an academic institute can build large
research groups to carry out cutting edge research, and use it to solve
real-life industrial and societal problems.” Prof. Rajeev Sangal, Director, IIIT-H.
The International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad
(IIIT-H) is an autonomous university founded in 1998. It was set up as a
not-for-profit public private partnership (NPPP) and is the first IIIT to be
set up (under this model) in India. The Government of Andhra Pradesh lent
support to the institute by grant of land and buildings. A Governing Council
consisting of eminent people from academia, industry and government presides
over the governance of the institution.
IIIT-H was set up as a research university focused on the core
areas of Information Technology, such as Computer
Science, Electronics and Communications, and
their applications in other domains. The institute evolved strong research
programmes in a host of areas, with computation or IT providing the connecting
thread, and with an emphasis on the development of technology and applications,
which can be transferred for use to industry and society. This required
carrying out basic research that can be used to solve real life problems. As a
result, a synergistic relationship has come to exist at the Institute between
basic and applied research. Faculty carries out a number of academic industrial
projects, and a few companies have been incubated based on the research done at
the Institute.
IIIT-H
is organized as research centres and labs, instead of the conventional
departments, to facilitate inter-disciplinary research and a seamless flow of
knowledge within the Institute. Faculty assigned to the centers and labs
conduct research, as well as academic programs, which are owned by the Institute,
and not by individual research centers.
The Institute combines pioneering research with top class
education. An innovative curriculum allows the student flexibility in selecting
courses and projects. Students, even at the undergraduate level, get to
participate in ongoing research and technology development - an opportunity
unprecedented in India. As a result, a vibrant undergraduate programme
co-exists with a strong postgraduate programme.
Recognizing that the goal of education is to develop a broad and
humanistic outlook among students (and beyond), the Institute runs a unique
human values programme at the undergraduate level. Regular faculty conducts the
programme. Also, elements of the programme are made available to IIIT-H’s
postgraduate students, faculty and students at other universities and colleges,
and any interested individual or organization.
In sum, the Institute offers students a unique environment that
promotes culture, sports, societal contributions, art, self-governance and
human values.
