Indian Institute of Information Technology - Tiruchi (III-T) will offer M.Tech. programmes in VLSI Designs and Computer Science Engineering from the coming academic year. It had already launched Ph.D. programme last year, besides the two B.Tech. programmes. The scope for offering more programmes with IT infusion will be considered in the coming years. It has been mandated to increase student intake to 1,200 over a five-year period after moving to the new campus, Director of IIIT-Tiruchi N.S.V.N. Sarma told media persons on Wednesday. The IIIT-Tiruchi will offer certificate, diploma and degree programmes in online mode. The student strength for the first three batches had to be kept minimal due to infrastructure constraints. The IIIT-Tiruchi initially functioned out of the BIT (Bharathidasan Institute of Technology) campus of Anna University and subsequently shifted to the premises of National Institute of Technology - Tiruchi (NIT-T), the mentor institution, before moving out to rented buildings a year back.
