Indian Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur

What Indian Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur does

Indian Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur (IIIT Nagpur, IIITN) is a public autonomous institute of national importance established under the Indian Institute of Information Technology (Public-Private Partnership) Act, 2017. It is one of 20 IIITs operating under a tripartite PPP ownership structure between the Ministry of Education (Government of India), the Department of Higher Education (Government of Maharashtra), and industry partners Tata Consultancy Services and Haldiram Foods International. Founded in 2016 and shifted to its permanent campus in Butibori, Nagpur in 2021-22, the institute offers B.Tech programs in Computer Science & Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering with specializations in AI & Machine Learning, Data Science & Analytics, Human-Computer Interaction & Gaming Technology, and Internet of Things, alongside M.Tech, PG Diploma in ICT (in partnership with MCTE for defense officers), and Ph.D. programs. Admissions are routed exclusively through JoSAA on JEE Mains ranks, with the institute drawing from the top 2% of JEE Mains candidates against a fixed annual intake of 648 seats; the 2024 batch recorded 88.5% placement, a highest package of ₹47 LPA, and an average package of ₹13.11 LPA.

The institute's underlying technology stack spans computer science curricula with applied AI/ML coursework, NLP, computer vision, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, generative AI, and IoT — evidenced by a granted patent on hybrid deep-learning-based histopathological cancer detection, ten additional filed patents, and faculty research publications in deep learning, RL, and time-series forecasting. Infrastructure is delivered through standard academic platforms (Moodle LMS, E-Samarth fee portal, Google Workspace for forms and timetable publishing), and no public APIs or software products are commercialized. The revenue model is fundamentally that of a non-profit higher-education institution: recurring tuition and hostel fees across a four-year B.Tech cohort dominate, supplemented by sponsored research (e.g., DRDO Radome project ₹60.87 L, Mercedes-Benz R&D CUDA training ₹2.24 L, RBI training ₹2.34 L), the ₹18.10 Crore ANRF PAIR Program grant under the ANRF scheme in collaboration with IIT Bombay, internship program fees for external students (₹4,720–₹14,160 including GST), and consultancy services. GTM is admissions-led via JoSAA counseling and a Training & Placement Office that sells recruiting access to enterprises; the institute serves undergraduate students as the primary segment, with postgraduate, doctoral, defense, and external-internship segments as secondary. The firm is headquartered at Survey No. 140,141/1, Butibori, Nagpur, employs 501–1,000 staff, and is corporately classified as a non-profit public institution.
