Sambalpur University Institute of Information Technology

Sambalpur University Institute of Information Technology (SUIIT) was established in 2010.

History
SUIIT was set up in 2010 as a self-financing institute of Sambalpur University and is the first technical institute which was to be set up in a general university after 2002 in Odisha. SUIIT is the brainchild of former vice-chancellor Prof Arun Pujari. Most of the courses being offered by the SUIIT were pulled out from different existing departments of Sambalpur University. Electronics was taken out of physics department, computer science from mathematics while bioinformatics was pulled out from life sciences department. Only the undergraduate courses newly add in SUIIT. While the state government had given an initial budget of Rs 10 crore in 2009-10 for the institute, Rs 5 crore from Directorate of Distance and Continuing Education (DDCE) was given to it for construction of its buildings inside the varsity.

Location
The present campus of the university is located at Burla, 2 km away from NH 6. The campus of this university is in the vicinity of Mahanadi Coal Fields Limited, VSSUT and located on the foothills of the Hirakud Dam.
