History

IIIT Hyderabad was set up in 1998 under the public private partnership model by Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of Andhra Pradesh and NASSCOM,[8] with the state government supplying a grant of land and buildings.[9] As special officer for IIIT Hyderabad and Secretary of IT for the state government, Ajay Prakash Sawhney was responsible for shaping the conceptual model and overseeing initial development of the institute.[10][11] Rajeev Sangal, former director of Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi designed the syllabus and served as the first director of the institute until 10 April 2013.[12]

The institution was founded under the name Indian Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad as a foundation for the 20 Indian Institutes of Information Technology under same model, which was later renamed to International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad in 2001 when it attained a status of Deemed University.[13]

The institute celebrated its Silver Jubilee on 2 September 2023. The main celebrations were held across 3 days from 1–3 September, with many earlier events throughout the past year, including a special fire-side chat with Former Chief minister of the United Andhra Pradesh Shri. Nara Chandra Babu Naidu and honouring other esteemed people through the history of the institute.[14]
