This is achieved through an integrated curriculum that consists of a highly diverse set of IT courses, interdisciplinary IT research projects, day-to-day interaction with industry, preparation in entrepreneurship and personality development courses.
Research centres aim at developing IT for specific problems provide students with opportunities for involvement in IT problem solving and innovation. Major national and international IT companies are actively involved in IIIT's academic programmes through their corporate schools on the campus. These include IBM,
Metamor, Motorola, Oracle and Satyam.
Located in Hyderabad, the future Silicon Valley of India, the Institute combines the freedom of an academic institution with the strength of the corporate sector.
