Background
On 28th May 2012, the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and the Government of the Republic of India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish Myanmar Institute of Information Technology (MIIT) at Mandalay, Myanmar. The MOU envisages that the MIIT will be established and operated on the lines of the successful model of the International Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) in India.
Based on the MoU, MIIT was created as a National Center of Excellence of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar in 2015. MIIT started functioning as a part of the Ministry of Education (MoE) when MoST was merged to become a part of MoE in 2016.
The International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIIT-B) has become an institution of international repute within a short period of 16 years since its inception in 1999. IIIT-B has been chosen to act as the mentor institution for MIIT, and will execute the MIIT Project by building, operating, and transferring a successfully functioning MIIT to the authorities in Myanmar by December 2020.
The MIIT Project is a bilateral project between the two countries, Myanmar and India. The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar will provide for the MIIT campus, the building and the required infrastructure and human resources. The Government of the Republic of India will provide financial, technological, and academic assistance. This includes setting up a IT infrastructure at MIIT, as well as academic and administrative structures and processes. Faculty from India will spearhead the teaching effort at MIIT, while helping in capacity building through structured Faculty Development Programs.
