India: IT institute may come up in Chennai
An Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), originally proposed to come up near Kancheepuram, is likely to be set up on the information technology corridor in Chennai.
The Union Human Resources Development Ministry is planning to invest close to Rs.100 crore on this new education/training facility for which it is scouting for land.
A proposal to hand over at least 25 acres of government land on Old Mahabalipuram Road for setting up the IIIT may soon be placed before the State Government or the State Cabinet, say official sources.
Unlike the other IIITs, the Chennai-based institute will focus on design and manufacture, an area in which India is lagging behind.
The IIIT-Design and Manufacturing is one of the two such institutions proposed by the MHRD. The other one was started at Jabalpur.
The institute will have an intake of about 600 students at the undergraduate level.
The expertise of the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras will be utilised in developing the curriculum for engineering design at the undergraduate level.
