IIIT is the generic name for several Institutes of Information Technology in India, each a mini university in itself. Many of these institutions have been subsequently renamed to identify their affiliations and goals. The IIITs were conceived to be forerunners in the information technology sector, at a time when India is going through a phase of unprecedented boom in the software industry. The course curriculum at these institutes is at par with similar offerings at the Computer Science departments of Indian Institutes of Technology.

Proposed new Institutes
As per the Budget 2011, Twenty (20) more IIIT's under the Public-Private Model, are to be launched soon for every major state of India. Nasscom recently submitted a detailed project report to the Govt. of India on the establishment of new IIITs.[1]
Each of the IIITs has been proposed to be set up as a fully autonomous institution, through the PPP model. The partners setting up IIITs will be the ministry of human resource development, the governments of respective states where each IIIT will be established and industry members. The report is learnt to have suggested that private organisations should play an equal or slightly greater role in bringing investment for the new IIITs.
