About the institute:
Established in 1999 by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India, Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-A) has been a centre of excellence in Information Technology and allied areas. The institute was conferred the "Deemed University" status by Govt. of India in the year 2000 empowering it to have a perpetual seal and award degrees subsequent to the conduct of its own examinations.


Ever since IIIT-A has been instrumental in nurturing the dreams and aspirations of some of the brightest minds of the country. The various academic programs aim at all-round development of the student instilling in him the virtues of excellence and responsibility thereby producing leaders of the highest professional competence.


The Board of Governors under the leadership of Padma Bhushan Shri F.C. Kohli performs the arduous task of long term planning and quick policy changes along with a Finance Committee that looks after the mobilization and stimulation of resources from sources other than Government funding, such as sponsored projects, research and consultancy.


The institute also has an extension campus RGIIT Amethi to improve the quality of life of the surrounding area and to bridge the technology gap.


Infrastructure:
  • The campus has been developed on cent acres of land at Devghat, Jhalwa, on the serene outskirts of Allahabad. The architecture transcends established design conventions and makes a statement about the similarities between atoms and bits. The campus' buildings have been styled on patterns developed by internationally acclaimed scholar and mathematician, Roger Penrose. A central zone for the academic core consists of an administrative building, lecture theater complex, electronic library, computer laboratories and research facilities.
