The Institute is involved in a diverse range of activities that are consistent with its mission, and contribute to society as well as the professional growth of its students and faculty. Some of these are:
 
  • Academic programs leading to masters and doctoral degrees in Information Technology. More information about these programs is given later.

 

  • Collaborations with the IT industry on R&D projects of common interest. Industry participation happens on a constant basis by way of chair professorships, sponsorship of Ph.D. students, focused research labs at IIIT-B, and live projects.

 

  • Incubation of companies to foster the spirit of entrepreneurship in students.

 

  • Social policy issues arising in the development and use of information technology are addressed in research that covers various economic domains, the organization of IT industry clusters, and information access for the socially underprivileged. Research output is disseminated through a white paper series and case studies of IT usage. IIIT-B is also closely associated with the Government of Karnataka's Board for IT Education Standards (BITES) that establishes academic benchmarks for undergraduate IT education in the state.
 
The Institute also hosts many visitors from all over the world throughout the year. These include prominent political leaders from various countries, renowned academics and industry leaders, visiting scholars, and exchange students.
