About the Institute
The Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-A) was established in 1999, as 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. The Institute thus became empowered to award degrees subsequent to the conduct of its own examinations.

The Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-A) has been conceived with the ambitious objectives of developing professional expertise and skilled manpower in Information Technology (IT) and related areas. This will enable the country to exploit efficiently emerging opportunities, and meet economic challenges being thrown up by the rapid global IT revolution, which is influencing virtually every area of development and social activity. As an apex nucleating institute in the area of IT, the establishment of IIIT-A, is a major step of Govt. of India towards strengthening the indigenous capability necessary for exploiting profitably and harnessing multi-dimensional facets of IT at all levels, and attaining expertise to enable the country to emerge as a leading player in the global arena.
From the session 2002-2003, it has been shifted to its own permanent site at Deoghat, Jhalwa, Allahabad. The beautiful 100 acre campus designed meticulously on the Penrose Geometry pattern, is being further topped by fine landscaping to give an all round soothing effect to create a stimulating environment to indulge in the true pursuit of excellence in the field of Information Technology and Allied Sciences. The campus is envisaged to be a fully residential one, with all its faculty, staff and students housed within it. All academic and residential areas are serviced by Internet (4mpbs leased line) and LAN.

Each academic year consists of two semesters and a summer term. While the education system is broadly organized on the pattern of other IIT’s, a Relative Grading System pattern with credits allotted for each course, is followed for End Semester Examinations. This, while enabling continuous evaluation of students’ performance, also provides students the desired flexibility to choose courses as per their own interests. Each course is assigned specified credits, depending upon its relative importance in the field of Information Technology. Minimum of Pass Grade in each individual paper and a minimum of 5.5 Semester Grade Point Average is required to be promoted to the next semester. To boost creativity among students, mini and major projects, in their chosen fields of interest, form an internal part of the course curriculum at the Institute. Normally one theory course credit hours is of 15 hours of lectures in one semester, and one laboratory course credit hours is of 30 hours of laboratory work.

One of the salient features of the training imparted to the students is the hands-on computer assembly training. Almost all of the Institute’s computers have been assembled by the students themselves, under guidance of the specially trained technical staff. This has not only enabled the Institute in bringing down the cost of new computers, but also made almost 100% instant trouble shooting of any faults, resulting in no requirement of any computer related AMC’s.
It is in these contexts that this Institute promises to play a crucial role to generate requisite high level technical manpower to meet national goals in critical areas like defense, weather forecasting, space programmes, economic development and social transformation, to gain from emerging IT revolution. Keeping these in view, the Courses of the Institute have been designed with a lot of operational flexibilities of additions and subtractions according to the need of the society.
