The Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (IIIT-A) was established in 1999, as a center of excellence in Information Technology and allied areas. The institute was conferred "Deemed University" status by Govt. of India in the year 2000. The Institute thus became empowered to have a perpetual seal and award degrees subsequent to the conduct of its own examinations. With the passage of IIIT Bill 2014 by the Parliament of India, IIIT Allahabad, along with the other 4 MHRD funded IIITs, became an Institute of National Importance on December 1, 2014. The Institute of National Importance (INI) is a status that may be conferred to a higher education institution in India by an act of parliament. They are institutes which "serve as a pivotal player in developing highly skilled personnel within the specified region of the country/state". INIs receive special recognition and funding. The institute was established by the efforts of Prof. Murli Manohar Joshi, Union Minister of Human Resource Development, GoI. Realizing the vital significance of IT in the years to come, Prof. Joshi, himself a reputed academician, was instrumental in getting the project conceived, initiated and executed in record time. The 100 acre campus, situated at Deoghat, Jhalwa was designed on the Penrose Geometry pattern. The campus is envisaged to be a fully residential one, with all its faculty, staff and students housed in different pockets. All academic and residential areas are connected to the Institutes's network.
