THE INSTITUTE
Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT)
Kottayam is established in 2015 with a major
objective to set up an education model which can
produce best-in-class human resources in IT and
can harness the multidimensional facets of IT in
various domains. It is one among the IIITs that
have been established as "Institutions of National
Importance" by Ministry of Education, Govt. of
India under the ambit of IIIT (PPP) Act 2017. IIIT
Kottayam is expected to contribute significantly
to the global competitiveness through the key
sectors of Indian economy and Industry, focusing
on applied research and education in IT in selected
domain areas. IIIT Kottayam conducts academic
programs of BTech in CSE and ECE, MTech in AI and
Data Science, PhD in various disciplines such as
CSE, ECE, Mathematics and allied areas.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The institute is connected to National Knowledge Network
(NKN) with a bandwidth of 1Gbps. The laboratories are
equipped with various hardware and software required to
carry out the research. Researchers have 24x7 access
to the high performance computing facilities along-with
the campus-wide licensed Matlab Software package. An
MoU has been signed with CDAC for installing the state-
of-art supercomputer (ParamYuva-II Supercomputer) under
National Param Supercomputing Facility (NPSF).
Institute is also subscribed to various E-resources
including IEEE Xplore Digital Library along-with IEEE
CSDL, to enhance research and learning experience.
Institute has set up an incubation center (AIC), a non-
profit Sec.8 company, sanctioned under the Atal
Innovation Mission (AIM)—NITI Scheme of Govt. of India,
which currently incubates numerous start-up companies
for developing technology solutions for societal
benefits. Institute is also approved as an MSME Business
Incubation centre for incubating start-ups.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Indian Institute of Information Technology,
Kottayam aims at imparting its academic
excellence through the expansion of the
frontiers of knowledge by doing world class
research. With this objective in mind, IIIT
Kottayam launched its doctoral programme to
impart the knowledge, skills and attitude to do
world class research in the area of computer
science and its allied fields.
The faculties of Engineering department and
Science and Humanities department along with
their research scholars perform cutting edge
research in their respective domains, and has
resulted in highly acclaimed publications in
reputed Journals, Conferences and patents. Our
faculties also take industrial consultancy
projects, apart from sponsored research projects
along-with collaborative projects with
Industry/Academia within India and abroad. Some
of our international collaborations are:
University of Klagenfurt , Austria
Technische Universität München, TUM,
Germany
Volkswagen Foundation, Germany
Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA
Institute has also signed MoUs with Reliance JIO
Gen Next, Technolodge and has tied up with BOSCH
India and 3DDivella for various projects.
Research Students get an opportunity to
participate in these projects. Research works
are promoted in interdisciplinary research areas
across various departments of the institute.
Candidates can apply only through the
online application portal.
