The Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior (IIITM
Gwalior, IIITM-G) is a deemed university and the first Indian Institute of Information
Technology established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government
of India in 1997. It is located in the city of Gwalior, in the northern part of
the state of Madhya Pradesh, India.
IIITM Gwalior was ranked 25th by Outlook-MDRA, in a survey of Top 50 Engineering
Colleges in India in 2010. It also secured 38th position in MBA survey done by MBA
Universe in 2010. In the same year IIITM Gwalior got A++ grade both in Engineering
as well as in MBA from Outlook and Business India respectively. Further this college
aims high to get position under top colleges.
History
Committee
In 1992, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) set-up a committee under
the chairmanship of Dr. P G Reddy. The team reviewed the scenario in the country
with regard to software education and training. It was identified that the total
manpower need for the software development, domestic and export, was of the order
of 570,000 personnel in 1996 to meet a target of software export of Rs. 10,000 crores.
Against this the formal educational system produced only 120,000 personnel. The
team recommended setting up of Advanced Information System Institutes on the pattern
of IITs and IIMs in the country. A study conducted by the World Bank sponsored in
July 1992 also underlined the need for additional manpower in the area of IT and
software development.
Beginning
Presently, a number of institutions offer programmes in computer science and technology.
However, there was no institution acting in the field of IT and Management.
The All India Council for Technical Education established a working group in 1995
consisting of professionals, academics and others in the areas of IT, management
and communications to deliberate on the issues relating to IT and prepare a Theme
paper. This group prepared a document underlining thec need for the establishment
of a National Centre in the area of IT.
Autonomy
IIITM was established as a centrally funded, autonomous institution registered under
the Societies' Registration Act and governed by its board of governors. The composition
of the first Society is given in Annexure II. The objectives of the Institute would
be to create facilities for education, training, research, consultancy and professional
development in the areas of IT and management.
Course structure
The structure of academic programmes contained in the All India Council for Technical
Education (AICTE) document were as follows:
* A 5½ year integrated programme with an entry-level qualification at Senior School
Certificate or equivalent leading to a postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology
and Management.
* A 2 year postgraduate programme leading to Diploma in Management and Information
Technology with entry qualification as a bachelor’s degree in selected areas.
* A 1½ year postgraduate programme leading to Diploma in Information Technology
and Management with entry level qualification as a bachelor’s degree in Computer
Science/Electronics or equivalent.
Location
The foundation stone of the institute was laid on Jan 17, 1996.
The institute initially operated from a temporary site in Madhav Institute of Technology
and Science Gwalior (MITS). The institute had been provided nearly 15,000 square
feet (1,400 m2) covered area in the high voltage laboratory complex of MITS without
charging the monthly rent with a proviso that the permanent fixtures created should
become the property of MITS after IIITM moves to its permanent location. IIITM Gwalior
would carry to its new campus all the equipment, furniture, AC and electric fittings
and all other items, which are transportable.
This space was remodeled and renovated to create two laboratories for computing
and IT, faculty offices, offices for accounts, administration, academic section
and two lecture rooms.
Land for the campus
Girls hostel in its construction phase A committee headed by Prof. S. K. Khanna,
Chairman AICTE, looked out for a suitable site for the campus at Gwalior and identified
one. The Government of Madhya Pradesh allotted land for the campus free of cost,
first at the village of Sonjana, nine kilometers on the Tighara Road in January
1996. The Ministry of Environment and Forests did not agree to de-notify this land
on as it was shown as forestland in old documents. The Madhya Pradesh Government
allocated 61 hectares of land on Morena Road in Village Sewage farm, Gwalior. That
land was then transferred to the institute in October 1998. The land is in the foothills
of Gwalior Fort and located nearly equidistant from the Gwalior railway station
and the airport. One face of the Site is the Morena Road linking Gwalior with National
Highway No. 3.
Logo
The National Institute of Design, Ahemdabad designed the logo for the institute.
The logo is depicted in Annexure IV.
