IIIT Trichy to increase its student intake

TRICHY: Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Trichy, which moved to its permanent campus last month, aims at increasing student strength by 1,200 in the next five years.

With a total 230 students in two streams, IIIT Trichy was functioning on a temporary campus at Oxford Engineering College, Trichy. IIITs are the third-generation technical institutions started specifically to cater to information technology companies. TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, Ramco, Elcot and tech solutions are the stakeholders who have 15% stake in the institution.

“Intake of students could not be increased in the absence of a permanent campus. Now that we are into the permanent campus, we will be increasing the intake of students,” said the director. The government has given us the option to start any programme related to IT and related conventional programmes, he said.
