Admission open to M.Tech. program at IIIT-Bangalore

[sr3u]

The International Institute of Information Technology - Bangalore
(formerly the Indian Institute of Information Technology - Bangalore),
known by its acronym iiit-b, offers graduate programs oriented towards
producing highly-qualified practitioners and researchers. As an
independent institution and a deemed university, iiit-b collaborates
with the IT industry, leading academic instutions worldwide, and
eminent scientists and captains of industry, to offer students the
best possible education and career opportunities.

Though jobs as such have recently been relatively easy to come by in
today's IT industry in India, the industry as a whole is seeing an
increasing shift from low-end programming or service jobs to high-end
research and design that competes with the best worldwide. Many young
people seeking to make it in the IT sector find that they do not have
the necessary technical or research background to obtain the types of
roles they seek in their careers and must settle for unfulfilling
work, and industry as well is frustrated by the lack of quality in the
talent pool from which it must create tomorrow exciting innovations
and products.

To address this need, iiit-b offers students a unique environment that
provides them with state-of-the-art knowledge and abilities in
multiple disciplines beyond traditional computer science, covering the
wider spectrum of information technology. Our students are equipped
to provide thought leadership, and gain the satisfaction of fulfilling
their creative and intellectual potential by becoming full peers to
the brightest minds in the world, rather than just providing the low-
end labor to implement others' grand visions.

Admissions are currently open to our two-year full-time M.Tech.
program (applications can be made online at http://www.iiitb.in).
Applications to our M.S. by Research and Ph.D. programs are also
solicited from talented individuals with a track record of research
and innovation. The deadline for applications to the Fall 2008 batch
is March 15th. Further information is available at http://www.iiitb.ac.in
