I encourage our aspiring young students in higher-secondary schools in the country to appear for JEE (Main) and get into IIIT-Manipur in Imphal. We all look forward to receive the students from all over the world to raise their career prospects into greater heights.

The institute has excellent infrastructure with State of Art classrooms, Laboratories, conference halls, auditorium, playground, hostels, faculty quarters, guest house, and administrative offices.
