Nasscom Suggests: TN, MP, Karnataka to have Three IIIT's, Bihar to get one Jharkhand None.

NASSCOM has submitted its recommendation on the location of IIIT's to HRD Ministry. It has suggested two more IIIT's in TN in PPP besides the one IIIT (harware&Design) already set up in central sector at Kanchpuram . New ones are proposed at Chennai and Coimbatore. Another big beneficiary state could be Karnataka which is slated to get three, one each at Mangalore, Mysore and Bangalore . Madhyapradesh with another institute at Indore will also move up to have three institutes ( which is in addition to central sector IIITs at Jabalpur and Gwalior). Jharkahnd, Chhatishgarh and Rajasthan's claims, however, seems to have been completely ignored. Maharashtra is another beneficiary with two such institutes proposed at Pune and Nagpur respectivelly. Most of the southern states, including Maharashtra, already boast of a similar state government sponsored institute.
Places where new IIIT's in PPP mode has been recommended by NASSCOM are Delhi, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Bangalore, Jammu,Chandigarh, Dehra Dun, Lucknow, Patna, Shillong, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Indore, Nagpur, Bhubaneswar, Pune, Visakhapatanam, Mysore, Mangalore and Coimbatore .
