The Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs) are prestigious autonomous institutions specializing in Information Technology and Communication Studies. Widely regarded of the top engineering colleges in India, ranking just after the IITs and NITs, IIITs have become popular among aspiring engineers.
Currently, there are 26 IIITs across the country, five of which are designated as Institutes of National Importance. The remaining 21 operate under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Admission to IIITs is granted through the JEE Main exam, followed by the JoSAA counselling process.
