INDIAN INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TIRUCHIRAPALLI

Indian Institute of Information Technology Tiruchirappalli (IIITT), also known as IIIT Trichy, is an Institute of National Importance and one among the 21 IIITs proposed under the non-profit Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Model by MHRD. The logo of IIITT has a black and white photograph of the gopuram of the temple of Srirangam supported by a book, surrounded by a circle of leaves and a laurel on both the sides. The gopuram or tower symbolises greatness, height and glory of education, spirituality and divinity in achievements supported by the book of knowledge. The circle of leaves adds to its nearness to nature and the laurels symbolise consistent and everlasting victories in the chosen field of education. It is unfortunate to note that an institution of ‘National Importance’ from the state of Tamilnadu - a known centre for educational excellence has a logo which needs professional touch in its execution.
