IIITs are a group of four institutes of higher education in India, focused on information technology.

They are established by the central government, centrally funded, and managed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

Admissions into undergraduate programmes in IIITs are through the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE).

 List of IIITs:

As per the Budget 2011, twenty more IIITs under the Public-Private partnership (PPP) model, are to be launched soon for every major state of India. Nasscom recently submitted a detailed project report to the Government of India on the establishment of new IIITs.Each of the IIITs has been proposed to be set up as a fully autonomous institution, through the PPP model. The partners setting up IIITs will be the ministry of human resource development, the governments of respective states where each IIIT will be established and industry members.

The report suggests that private organisations should play an equal or slightly greater role in bringing investment for the new IIITs.The addition of new IIITs and setting the current IIITs as Institutes of National Importance is proposed under The Institutes of Information Technology Bill 2010 As of June 2011 the bill was not approved yet.
