Director's Message

Dear Visitor,

Warm greetings and welcome to the web site of ABV-IIITM.

As you are aware, India is playing a vital role in the digital global economy fuelled by IT. Taking a strong note of this, the institute, first of its kind in India, combining both IT and management was established by the Government of India as an apex autonomous institute to cater to the growing needs of the IT industry.The IT revolution is flattening and shrinking the world and intensifying competition which poses a variety of challenges and opportunities. The institute aims to take up this challenge upfront by grooming technology developers, technology managers and researchers through a carefully designed academic portfolio comprising integrated postgraduate programmes,M Tech,MBA and Ph D.

The vision of the institute is to achieve global excellence in knowledge economy. This vision says little but means much more to all of us (faculty, students, staff and all our stakeholders) at the institute: a vision we personally believe with passion. The emerging knowledge economy requires special technical and managerial skills coupled with appropriate training and wide exposure to the state-of-the-art practices. Through dedicated efforts of faculty and students, the institute attempts to translate vision into action. We continuously strive for excellence through collaborative research in contemporary areas of relevance to society at large. I am happy to report that we have active research collaborations with universities abroad.

The strong foundation that we build in IT and in the select areas of management gives our students a distinctive edge to create solutions that improve lives and make the world flatter. A well structured yet flexible curriculum enables students to develop a strong set of competencies desired in today’s hyper-competitive world. A vibrant link with the industry, government and business helps students to capture the dynamism of the real world.
The institute has excellent physical and IT infrastructure and is able to attract brighter brains. Spread over 160 acres of green campus, the institute provides quality ambiance to nurture creative minds. A strong base of over 1300 alumni is a testimony to our contribution to the IT landscape.

At ABV-IIITM, we are developing and training human resource to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.

I invite you to learn more about us through this website and by a visit to our campus.

Yours online
