The Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) are a group of 25 technical research institutions in India focused on information technology. They are officially designated as Institutes of National Importance (INI) by various Acts of Parliament.
As of 2026, the IIIT system is divided into two governance models:
- MoE Funded: Five institutes are fully established, funded, and managed by the Ministry of Education.
- PPP Model: Twenty institutes are set up under a public–private partnership (PPP) model. The financial contribution for these institutes is shared between the central government, the respective state governments, and industry partners in a ratio of 50:35:15.
The "Indian" vs. "International" Distinction
There are two distinct groups of institutes using the "IIIT" acronym in India:
- Indian Institutes of Information Technology (The Government Group): These are the 25 institutes established by the Ministry of Education (listed below).
- International/State/Private Institutes: Renowned institutions such as IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, IIIT Bhubaneswar and IIIT Naya Raipur are independent and are not a part of this central government group. IIIT Delhi is also not a part of this group.
- LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur also belongs to the family of International Institute of Information Technology based on the same N-PPP( Not For Profit Public Private Partnership) with Ministry of Human Resource Development of the state govt with industry partner same as IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Bangalore.[2][3]
