IIIT Senapati, Manipur

What IIIT Senapati, Manipur does

IIIT Senapati, Manipur (IIIT Manipur) is a government-funded Institute of National Importance established in 2015 under the IIIT Public-Private Partnership Act of 2017. Operating under India's Ministry of Education with co-funding from the Government of Manipur and industry partner MIPDCO (Manipur State IT SEZ Development Company), it delivers undergraduate B.Tech programs in Computer Science & Engineering — with specializations in AI & Data Science, Cyber Security, and Quantum Technologies — and Electronics & Communication Engineering, with a VLSI & Embedded Systems specialization, alongside PhD programs in CSE, ECE, and Humanities & Basic Sciences. The institute primarily serves JEE Main qualified students admitted through centralized JoSAA/CSAB counseling, with 233 B.Tech students across the 2015–2019 batches and 10 PhD researchers recorded, supported by a staff of approximately 24 academic and administrative personnel.

The institute's research and lab infrastructure is anchored by domain-specialized centers: the ISHAAN Machine Translation system (a bidirectional English–Assamese, Bodo, Manipuri, Nepali, and Manipuri–Hindi MT funded by MeitY at Rs. 243.82 lakhs), a 5G Use Case Lab (one of 100 awarded nationally by the Government of India in October 2023 in partnership with TCIL New Delhi), a Drone Pilot Training School (with Anna University Chennai and a joint UAS bootcamp with IIT (ISM) Dhanbad), and a Language and Speech Technology Lab for speech processing and computational linguistics. Active research outputs include machine translation of three Indian criminal laws into Manipuri (recognized by the Chief Minister of Manipur) and a DST-funded English–Manipuri parallel corpus. The institute runs an annual technical festival (AHOUBA) and the Scopus-indexed ICAIAC international conference on AI and Advanced Computing.

Revenue is generated through a mixed public-sector model: recurring B.Tech tuition substantially offset by PM-YASASVI and ST government scholarships, direct grants from the Ministry of Education and TEQIP-III, competitive research grants from MeitY and DST, consultancy projects (e.g., Department of Law, Government of Manipur), and conference/event registration fees. The institute claims a near-100% historical placement record with a highest package of Rs. 46 LPA from Amazon India. Strategic semester-exchange MoUs with IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, and IIT Bhubaneswar extend the academic footprint, while international collaborations span University of North Texas, the Korean Cultural Center India, and Russia's Ugra Research Institute. A new 150-acre permanent campus is under construction at Mayangkhang, Kangpokpi district.
