The state technical education department has expressed a possibility of starting the maiden session of Kota's Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) at the Malviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) in Jaipur. On Thursday, the Ministry of Human Resource Development had cleared the land for campus at Ranpur in Kota. But, with only two months remaining for the new session, the possibility appears a far cry.
Companies like Cairn India Limited, Hindustan Motors, Genpact and Vakrangee Software Limited have tied up with IIIT, making the institute a preferred choice among students after IITs and NITs.
The state government had announced the IIIT in Kota during the 2010 budget. So far only the partners have been indentified, grants allocated and land has been finalized. Processes including forming a society, governing council, recruitment of academic and administrative staff, curriculum design and modules are still pending.
"The results of JEE and JEE Advanced are to be declared in May and June, respectively. If the processes are not completed within two months, the chances of attracting applicants for IIIT's new session are slim," an official of the department said.
Is the endless wait for the proposed Indian Institute of Information Technology, Kota (IIIT) is over? A day after team of Ministry of Human Resource Development had cleared the land (campus) at Ranpur in Kota followed by state technical education department expressing possibility of starting its maiden session at Malaviya national Institute of Technology (MNIT) in the upcoming admission season without any deadline has confused students eyeing admission.
The central government institute is based on PPP modal and companies like Cairn India Limited, Hindustan Motors, Genpact India (Jaipur) and Vakrangee Software Limited partnering at various levels has made the institute a most preferred choice after IIT's and NIT's.
The IIIT was announced by state in Kota during budget 2010. Since then, only land has been finalized, partners were indentified and grants were allocated. Other process including, forming a society, governing council, recruitment both academics and administrative, curriculum design and modules is yet to be worked out.
"Admission process has a very brief period. Students can wait till the result of JEE and Advanced which is scheduled to come in May and June respectively. Anything beyond these deadlines will lose the chance of getting quality students," said education official.
The IIIT was awarded to Kota after city failed to get IIT despite pressure created by Congress MP Ijyaraj Singh and then home minister Shantilal Dhariwal.
Even the multi-bullion coaching industry has lobbied for the same for but in vain. IIIT is among the 20 such institutes announced by the union government for promoting technical education in the state.
