Establishment

To address the challenges faced by the Indian IT industry and growth of the domestic IT market, the Ministry of Education, Government of India established twenty Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis. The partners in setting up the IIITs are Ministry of Education, Governments of the respective States where each IIIT will be established, and industry partners. The Indian Institute of Information Technology Lucknow (IIITL) was established with the approval of the Ministry of Education, Government of India. IIITL was approved by the Government of India's Ministry of Education. IIITL has been set up on a public–private partnership (PPP) basis
Dr. Arun Mohan Sherry
the Former Chief Academic Officer of Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Sciences was appointed as the Founding Director of IIIT Lucknow. However, the institute's fees is relatively high since it is established in PPP mode making it a less preferred institute among students compared to its competitors like IIIT Allahabad and IIITM Gwalior.
