Indian Institute of Information Technology - Allahabad has been a pioneer in the domains of Information Technology and allied areas for well over 2 decades and now ranks amongst the top engineering institutes in the country. We remain steadfast in our pursuit of quality and excellence in every facet and have designed an education system that nurtures not just innovation in technology, but essential life skills including critical thinking, decision making, management, teamwork, leadership, and many more. Sports and extracurricular activities have proven to be brilliant tools to groom and mould students into ideal team players and leaders. IIIT Allahabad provides excellent infrastructure and opportunities to its students to ensure their academic development which is supplemented by equally apt physical and personality development.

The institute offers its students a diverse ecosystem that not only encourages but also rewards ingenuity, inventiveness and enterprise. A healthy melange of academics, sports, and cultural undertakings help students to lead, learn and excel in fields of their choosing, making the institute a haven for nurturing visionaries and fountainheads.

IIIT-Allahabad has a self-governing democratic organization for its students called Student's Gymkhana. The Students’ Gymkhana is empowered to achieve the following objectives with the active help and support of its members and the infrastructure available at its disposal:

1. To encourage and regulate the student activities in the institute.
2. To promote and develop organizational abilities in students.
3. Identify student issues, promote active discussion and take resolute actions.
4. To develop a well-informed, articulate, and participative student community life, and to increase social awareness.

Student’s Gymkhana consists of many councils like cultural council, academic council, students’ welfare council, and many more. Every council have many societies under them like the cultural council have dance society, music society, etc. There are many hobby groups for the students where they can pursue their interest like coding, creative art forms etc. The councils like cultural, alongside with other councils and their societies, successfully organizes several annual events in the Institute including:

1. Effervescence, the annual cultural festival
2. Aparoksha, the annual technical festival
3. Asmita, the annual sports festival etc.

Finally, I must say that the education is incomplete without the overall personality development and IIIT Allahabad provides ample opportunities to its students to bring out the hidden talent of the students and help them to excel in every walk of their life. I wish all the students to attain all the success in professional as well as in their personal life.
