International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad

The International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (also IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-H) is an autonomous, self-supporting institution started in 1998 with seed support from the Government of Andhra Pradesh. IIIT is a research university, at its core. A major goal of IIIT is to impart a uniquely broad and interdisciplinary IT education of the highest academic quality. This is achieved through an integrated curriculum that consists of a highly diverse set of IT courses, interdisciplinary IT research projects, day-to-day interaction with industry, preparation in entrepreneurship and personality development courses.

Departments

The Institute lays emphasis on research at the undergraduate level. This is probably what makes it different from the other leading engineering institutes in India like the IITs. The Institute has highly focussed research centers in Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision/Computer Graphics, VLSI and Communication, Databases, Robotics, Information Retrieval and Algorithms. The Speech Processing lab in the Institute is one of only three of its kind present in India. Under the leadership of its director, Prof. Rajeev Sangal, the Institute takes pride in being one of the foremost research hubs in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Prof. Raj Reddy, a researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence and the only Indian to get an ACM Turing Award, is the chairman of the IIIT Board of Governors. The Institute combines the freedom of an academic institution with the strength of the corporate sector.

Location

The institute is located in Gachibowli Hyderabad. It enjoys the locational advantage of being close to the HITEC City (a centre housing software development centres of companies like Microsoft, Oracle Corporation, Motorola, Infosys and GE Capital) and the presence of IT majors from across the globe right on the campus through their schools and research centres.

Academic Programs

The institute is a centre of learning for both under graduate and post graduate courses. The course pattern lays stress on research at both graduate and under graduate levels. The institute provides undergraduate programs in Computer Science and Electronics. Dual degree courses in either disciplines leading to a MS by Research degree are also present. Post graduate programs provided are Master of Technology, Master of Science(Research) and Master of Philosophy. PhD courses are also offered.

Under Graduate Programs

Admissions are solely through AIEEE rank of the students.

Postgraduate Programs

Curriculum

IIIT Curriculum can be said to be one of the best out of the engineering colleges in India. Students have the independence of choosing the subjects they want to study from the second year onwards.Eminent members of the industry are regularly invited to teach at the institute. The classroom for many courses is a mix of under graduate students, post graduate students and working professionals registered for the course. Students in under graduate programs are required to study limited number of cross departmental subjects, which they can choose from a large selection. Thus improving their knowledge beyond the regular curriculum. Students in third year onwards are encouraged to work in one of the research labs, thus making them work aware, and thus helping them choose their future field of work.
