Indian Institute of Information Technology, Ranchi (IIIT Ranchi or IIITR), is one of the Indian Institutes of Information Technology, a group of 25 Interdisciplinary Technical Universities of higher education started by Government of India, focused on Information Technology.

Established in 2016, it mainly offers undergraduate programmes for computer science and electronics. It is an "Institute of National Importance",[4] as declared by an act of parliament.[2]

It is operated on a PPP model and funded by Government of India (50%), Government of Jharkhand (35%) and Industry Partners (15%) namely CIL, TCS and Tata Tech.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

In December 2015, the central government signed an MoU to establish three IIITs at Ranchi, Nagpur and Pune.[5] In 2016, IIIT Ranchi started under the mentorship of NIT Jamsedpur, with only 60 students in the first batch.[6] In 2017, The Indian Institutes of Information Technology (Public-Private Partnership) Act, 2017 was passed that conferred the INI status on 15 IIITs including IIIT Ranchi.[7]

In May 2023, President Murmu on her three-day Jharkhand visit attended the second convocation of IIIT Ranchi.[8] In November, PM Modi laid the foundation stone for the new campus.[9]

At present, IIIT Ranchi is operating from two interim campuses: BSNL ARTTC campus and Khelgaon(NGHC) campus. Around 60 acres of land has been allotted for the permanent campus in Sanga, Kanke and the campus is under construction.[6]
