IIITs or Indian Institutes of Information Technology are centrally funded public-private model institutions that are known for providing technology-based engineering programs in different majors. These institutions were set up by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) and are granted the status of Institutes of National Importance (INI). 

These institutions hold a global reputation in the market for equipping their students with a perfect balance of conceptual and practical knowledge via their UG and PG courses. Admissions to IIITs are based on the score of JEE Mains (for UG) and GATE (for PG), which makes it a little tougher for working professionals who do not give enough time to these exam preps. 

IIIT online courses are thus introduced to offer quality education in the technical domain to all. These courses are generally exam-free but for those where a good aptitude or foundational knowledge is required, an entrance exam is conducted. These programs are primarily focused on fulfilling the needs of both the industry and the professionals serving it. 

The online programs offered by IIITs are divided into different categories, Certificates, Diplomas, and Executive Courses. Thus, the eligibility criteria, duration, curriculum, and fee structure of your chosen technical course will depend on the category to which it belongs and on the IIIT offering it.

Moreover, these online courses are designed to equip learners with basic to advanced-level subject details by providing access to video lectures, interactive quizzes, assignments, and peer-to-peer conversations. This varied learning experience encourages active engagement and critical thinking abilities in students even in digital learning courses. Furthermore, the alumni status of IIIT allows you to explore a variety of career opportunities in the emerging fields of technology.
