With a severe manpower crunch in the IT sector, the Government is proposing to set up about 30 Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) over the next few years, which could involve an expenditure of around Rs 3,000 crore. The IIITs will not be allocated State-wise. Some small States may not have the capacity to sustain such institutions, whereas states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka and some others would have more demand and may have two IIITs. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/09/17/stories/2006091702950100.htm Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, CAritor (India) Pvt Ltd.
