Minimum eligibility criteria for industry partners: There should be multiple industry partners and a minimum between 3-5 are recommended the committee does not recommend a single industry/company to be the partner. Multiple partners should be chosen for IIIT for the reason that each IIIT will have very broad focus in terms of areas of research necessarily being interdisciplinary is the norm rather than a limited focus within the same subject. It is improbable that one single private partner will have deep domain competencies in all the areas that IIIT focuses on. The industry partners can be both IT as well as non IT-industries. For example, the non IT industries can be manufacturing companies in which there is a demonstrated use of IT. Public sector industries, having large R & D establishment, working in the industrial clusters in various states, could be actively encouraged to become partners with IIIT. The industry partners must be members of Industry Associations such as NASSCOM, FICCI, ASSOCHAM, CII etc. so that adequate information is available in the public domain.
