The LNM Institute of Information Technology, a ‘deemed-to be’ university was established in 2003 with the profound motto of nourishing young talents to paths of excellence and integrity. Set up in a sprawling campus in the outskirts of the Jaipur city, this institute firmly believes in cherishing merit and channelizing them to the larger causes of our society. Since its inception therefore, it has been following the principles of uncompromising scholarship and holistic development of our upcoming generation.

Quite significantly, this institute is the first private-public venture in the state of Rajasthan. While the LNMIIT Jaipur had its humble beginning with the department of Information Technology (Computer Science & Engineering, Communications and Computer Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering), it soon started offering courses on B Tech, M Tech and Ph.D. programmes in other areas of engineering and technology. No less, M Sc and Ph.D. programmes were initiated in departments of Mathematics and Physics. The institute also has a full-fledged Humanities and Social Sciences department that fosters an interdisciplinary academic climate and also committedly strives to enrich the communicative and creative skills of the students. Befitting such an academic flourish, the institute was placed 3rd amongst Private universities in innovation and 11th position nationally.

Keeping in view, the accelerating demand for jobs and engineering talents, LNMIIT offers a favourable atmosphere in which the students have the wonderful laboratories to hone their working skills. There are co-branded laboratories from IBM, Microsoft, ARM, Intel Intelligent Systems, MATLAB, National Instruments and many more. Besides this, the students are also provided with opportunities to have real-life work experiences during their internship period. Apart from this, the institute library provides access to numerous e-resources and online periodicals.

The institute aspires to nurture promising young talents, both in assuring them good careers and also building up their individual personalities. There are various committees such as Class Committee (CC), Quality Assurance Research Committee (QARC), Quality Assurance in Teaching Committee (QATC) and Internal Quality assurance Cell (IQAC) – that rigorously work in maintaining the quality of education. Besides having dignified and experienced faculty members from the premier institutes, there are ties with MNCs like Microsoft and IBM which aid in disseminating corporate training to the students. The institute endeavors wholeheartedly to ensure 100% employability to its students. The placement statistics reflect that 90% of the students are absorbed by good companies with the highest package going up to 28 lakhs per annum. Simultaneously, the institute also encourages students’ engagement in social issues and causes in diverse forms, so that they not only have prospective careers but also emerge as valuable individuals to our country.

Overall, the institute thus endorses the engineering as well as the critical skills of the students. It facilitates a vibrant environment in which the students learn to enjoy academic freedom, face challenging situations as well as come up with marvelous innovations.  No wonder therefore, the alumnus often have their name enlisted as successful entrepreneurs, prospective managers and dedicated academicians. Saket Modi, is one of such glowing alumnus who was nominated by ‘Forbes India in 30 under 30 category’ for his exceptional entrepreneurship and contribution in the field of technology. Similarly, Dr. Hemant Purohit stands out as another illustrious alumnus who is an Assistant Professor in George Mason University, USA. The LNMIIT hopes and looks forward in inspiring many such prospective entrepreneurs and researchers in the coming days who would not only be successful in their domains but would be known across the world for their noble contribution to humanity at large.
