The Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Kota is expected to shift to its own campus from the year 2022-23. The technology institute made the announcement regarding shifting to its own campus almost 10 years ago in 2012. Currently, the IIIT-Kota is running its sessions at MNIT Jaipur.

While replying in the state assembly during a question hour on Monday, the technical education minister Subhash Garg announced that the construction of two phases are in full swing and the campus will move to its original home from the next academic session.

Until now four batches have graduated from the MNIT in Jaipur. The former Ashok Gehlot government in 2012-13 announced the IIIT. The change of regime in December 2013 had stalled the progress of the institute that remained on the papers, added Garg.
