IITs abroad may be called Indian International Institute of Technology

The offshore campuses of IITs may be named as “India International Institute of Technology” and faculty members from the prestigious technology institutes here may be sent on deputation abroad, according to sources.

While the IITs abroad may be free to decide the student strength, the percentage of Indian students in those institutes will have to be less than 20 per cent, they said.

It has been suggested that the ownership of starting an IIT abroad should rest with the particular higher educational institute (HEI). The new institutes could be called Indian International Institute of Technology at xxxx (location), ” the sources told
