The Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) will start functioning temporarily on the premises of Bharatidasan Institute of Technology (BIT) at Tiruverumbur in Trichy district. This arrangement would begin from the upcoming academic year 2013-14.
Chief Minister of TamilNadu Ms. Jayalalithaa issued an order in this regard, considering the interests of the prospective students and the time it might take to set up the infrastructure.
Being developed jointly by the Centre and State governments and industrial bodies in Sethurapatti in Srirangam taluk, the IIIT costing Rs.128 crore would come up on over 56 acres of land, said the release.
TamilNadu government’s sanction for establishing a permanent campus at Sethurapatti near the Chief Minister's Srirangam Assembly constituency coincided with the introduction of IIIT Bill 2013 in the Lok Sabha for establishment of 20 such institutions at the rate of one in every major State in partnership with the private sector.
Once approved by the Parliament, the law will accord IIITs the status of national importance on par with IITs and IIMs.
At present, four IIITs exist in Gwalior, Jabalpur, Allahabad and Kancheepuram, all of which were established during the eleventh plan period till March 2012.
According to the Bill that was cleared by the Union Cabinet last year, out of the outlay of Rs.128 crore, the Centre will contribute fifty per cent, and the State government 35 per cent, and the remaining share of 15 per cent will be from the private sector .
For establishing the IIIT in Srirangam on Public-Private-Partnership model, six companies including Cognizant, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Take Solutions have so far given their consent, according to official sources.
