Technological Excellence: 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-proft public private partnership (NPPP) and is the frst IIIT to be set up (under this model) in India.

Programmes

The Institute offers challenging academic programmes, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, which encourage students to not only excel in course work but also carry out leading edge research in a chosen specialization.

B Tech Programme


The undergraduate programme is designed to provide core concepts and skills in the broad areas of engineering, sciences, mathematics and humanities, and practicums, in the first two years. The practicums are intended to give students a first-hand understanding of leveraging the enormous power of information technology and applying it to develop innovative solutions for real-life problems. In the later two years, students enroll in advanced courses either to deepen understanding and skills in a chosen specialization, or to broaden knowledge and skills in applying information technology.

M Tech Programme

M Tech programmes in domain areas enable students to gain proficiency in computing skills and the chosen domain. For example, civil engineers get to train in computer aided structural engineering (CASE), science specialists in computational natural sciences, and linguists in computational linguistics.

Postgraduate Research Programmes


These are IIIT-H’s premium research programmes intended to prepare students for careers in research. Currently, the institute offers the following four programmes.

* PhD programme
* Masters by Research programme (MS by Research)
* Dual degree programme in computer science & engineering (CSE) or electronics & communication engineering (ECE), leading to the award of B Tech Honours plus MS by Research degrees.
* Dual degree programme in Computational Natural Science (CNS) and Computational Linguistics (CL), leading to the award of B Tech in Computer Science plus MS by Research degrees in the respective fields (CNS/CL).
* Post-BSc programme in computational natural sciences, leading to the award of B Tech plus MS by Research degrees.

Part-time Programmes and PGSSP
Professionals in the Hyderabad area are encouraged to enroll in the PG programmes on a part-time basis. They are recommended to initially join through our PG Student Status Programme (PGSSP).
