International Institute of Information Technology

What International Institute of Information Technology does

International Institute of Information Technology (I²IT) is a private postgraduate educational institution located on a 10-acre campus in Pune's Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Hinjawadi, Maharashtra. Established in 2000 under a trust/society founded by Shri Pralhad P. Chhabria (promoter of the Finolex Group) and mentored by Padmashree Dr. Vijay Bhatkar, the institute was dedicated to the nation by then-President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in 2003. I²IT delivers M.Tech, M.S, MBA, Advanced Postgraduate Programs (APGP), Professional Postgraduate Programs (PPGP), Postgraduate Diplomas, and Advanced Certificate Programs through five schools covering Information Technology, Management, Engineering Technology, Interdisciplinary Science & Technology, and Sciences/Biotechnology.

Its core academic product is a portfolio of 24-month degree programs delivered in collaboration with IGNOU (via the IGNOU-I²IT Centre of Excellence), plus autonomous shorter-duration professional credentials spanning emerging areas such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, robotics, VLSI design, intelligent transportation systems, and satellite communication. Knowledge-partner relationships with Intel, IBM, SAP, SAS, Cadence, Oracle, EMC2, and TIBCO provide curriculum inputs, lab infrastructure, and hands-on training, while dual-degree arrangements with Lawrence Technological University, University of South Florida, Moscow State University, and Gubkin Russian State University enable international academic exposure. The institute also operates two on-campus incubation centers (with i-TEK for RFID and Zeus Numerix for CAE/CFD).

I²IT generates revenue through tuition from postgraduate and professional programs, with admissions handled directly (no authorized agents). Its customer base consists of graduate students seeking industry-aligned technology and management education, and its output flows into a network of 100+ recruiting companies in Pune's IT corridor. The trust/society ownership means it does not publicly disclose financials. Revenue scale, growth rates, and current enrollment are not available in the source data, limiting external valuation triangulation.
