A center of excellence in Information Technology and allied areas. The Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-A), was established in 1999. In the year 2000, the institute was conferred the "Deemed University" status by Govt. of India and thus became empowered to have a perpetual seal and award degrees subsequent to the conduct of its own examinations.

The Institute has been conceived with the ambitious objectives of developing professional expertise and skilled manpower in Information Technology (IT) and related areas. This will enable the country to exploit efficiently emerging opportunities, and meet economic challenges being thrown up by the rapid global IT revolution, which is influencing virtually every area of development and social activity. As an apex nucleating institute in the area of IT, the establishment of IIIT-A, is a major step of Govt. of India towards strengthening the indigenous capability necessary for exploiting profitably and harnessing multi-dimensional facets of IT at all levels, and attaining expertise to enable the country to emerge as a leading player in the global arena.

Exemplifying one of the best infrastructures, the beautiful 100 acre campus, situated at Deoghat, Jhalwa, designed meticulously on the Penrose Geometry pattern, is being further topped by fine landscaping to give an all round soothing effect to create a stimulating environment to indulge in the true pursuit of excellence in the field of Information Technology & Allied Sciences. The campus is envisaged to be a fully residential one, with all its faculty, staff and students housed in different pockets. Well connected with the Institutes network.

The key strength of the institute lies with the eminent faculty and the quality of the courses. Innovative, flexible and wide-ranging courseware incorporates the cutting edge as well as ensuring the firm grasp of core fundamentals. This modular course design, along with several opportunities for industry training, helps students to better understand the current challenges. The grading system is broadly based on the pattern of other IITs.

Education here is an enriching experience in more ways than one. With regular sporting, cultural and other extracurricular activities an IIITian has opportunities to develop multiple facets of his personality and achieve excellence in varied fields.
