The International Institute of Information Technology - Bangalore (formerly the Indian Institute of Information Technology - Bangalore), known by its acronym iiit-b, offers graduate programs oriented towards producing highly-qualified practitioners and researchers. As an independent institution and a deemed university,
iiit-b has collaborated with the IT industry, leading academic instutions worldwide and eminent scientists and captains of industry, to offer students the best possible education and career opportunities.

Though jobs as such have recently been relatively easy to come by in today's IT industry in India, the industry as a whole is seeing an increasing shift from low-end programming or service jobs to high-end research and design that competes with the best worldwide. Many young people seeking to make it in the IT sector find that they do not have the necessary technical or research background to obtain the types of roles they seek in their careers and must settle for unfulfilling work, and industry as well is frustrated by the lack of quality in the talent pool from which it must create tomorrow exciting innovations and products.

To address this need, iiit-b offers students a unique environment that provides them with state-of-the-art knowledge and abilities in
multiple disciplines beyond traditional computer science, covering the wider spectrum of information technology. Here students are
equipped to provide thought leadership, and gain the satisfaction of fulfilling their creative and intellectual potential by becoming full peers to the brightest minds in the world, rather than just providing the low-end labor to implement others'grand visions.

Admissions are currently open to the two-year full-time M.Tech. program (applications can be made online at http://www.iiitb.in). Applications to our M.S. by Research and Ph.D. programs are also solicited from talented individuals with a track record of research and innovation.

The deadline for applications to the Fall 2008 batch is March 15th. Further information is available at http://www.iiitb.ac.in and in
the downloadable admissions brochure.

A special Webinar will be conducted on 9th March for 1 hour from 11 a.m onwards, the details of which will be available on the website.
