Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) are a group of Multidisciplinary Technical Universities of higher education in India, focused on Information Technology Engineering. Five of them are established, funded and managed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. The rest are set up on the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Prior to 2013, the IIITs at Gwalior, Allahabad, Jabalpur and Kancheepuram were set up by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).
