IIIT Hyderabad restructures MSIT course

The MSIT online course (batch II) will begin on November 1, 2021. The last date to apply for the course is October 18, 2021. 

The MSIT programme at the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad has been restructured as a partly on campus online programme with three semesters of course work followed by one semester of internship/practicum.  According to the changes, there will be staggered rolling admission to the programme. Given the uncertainties of exam schedules and graduation dates caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, prospective students can start the programme every quarter, the IIIT Hyderabad said. 

Students joining the programme will learn the course by online learning by doing. They also will get one-on-one personalised mentoring which will enable students to proceed at their own speed until they demonstrate mastery by getting 90 per cent or more in each subject. Every student can request a personalised exam when they feel they are ready, the institute said.

Now, complete MSIT course in one year  

Students can complete the coursework in one calendar year, with reduced tuition, followed by a semester-length practicum. Students will also be able to choose a specialisation across data science, AI and machine learning, app development (full-stack), blockchain technologies, and information security, it said. The MSIT online programme can be taken from anywhere. All you need is a laptop and a stable internet connection. 

According to the institute, the MSIT online programme remains a full-fledged master’s programme with campus placement opportunities and industry partnerships, helping students learn concepts by applying them in real-world scenarios.
