Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati (IIITG) is an institution under Ministry of Education, Govt. of India. It offers B Tech courses in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science Engineering (CSE), M.Tech programmes in CSE and ECE, and runs PhD programmes in ECE, CSE, Mathematics, and Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). IIITG began offering B.Tech programmes in CSE and ECE since August, 2013. The first batch of B. Tech students graduated in May 2017.

IIITG is one of the 20 IIITs set up by the Central Govt. in PPP mode. A Bill (Act of Parliament) to declare all the PPP-IIITs (including IIITG) as Institutes of National Importance was passed by both the houses of the Indian parliament in July, 2017.

In its very first year when it became eligible, IIITG has got a rank of 66 in the Engineering category of NIRF 2020. What was even more notable is that it was ranked the highest among all MHRD IIITs. We were not eligible for ranking in the Overall category as we have less than 1000 students. Its rank was 73 in 2021 and 112 in 2022. Even though its rank has gone down, it is still the top IIIT in PPP mode.

IIITG strives to be attentive to academic needs of every student. Classes are conveniently scheduled between 9 A.M. to 5 P. M. Every class room is air-conditioned and has projection facilities. For online classes, we have subscribed to a Learning Management System (LMS) through which we deliver our lectures. For online examinations, we have subscribed to another Cloud based software.  An Institute-wide wi-fi system provides Internet access throughout the Institute. Further, DG power back up is available in case of power failure. The permanent campus has been constructed on 67 acres of land about 4 km from Guwahati airport.

The foundation stone for its permanent campus was laid on 19 January, 2016 by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The institute moved to its permanent campus in July, 2018. Prof. Sarat Kumar Patra, Director of NIT Agartala, is the Director in charge of the Institute.
