Initially mentored by IIT Madras, now IIT Tirupati, the fastest growing 3rd generation IIT is located in Yerpedu, Tirupati, and has a size of 539 acres, including a proposed research park. The Foundation stone for IIT Tirupati was laid by the Union Minister Smriti Irani and the then Union Minister and former Vice President of India M.Venkaiah Naidu and the then chief minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu.[1][2][3]
The Director of IIT Madras, Dr. Bhaskar Ramamurthi has been the Mentor Director of IITT since 2016.[4] In 2017, K.N. Satyanarayana was appointed as director for IIT Tirupati. He was re-elected[5] as the director for a second term since 2022.
The institute is planning to construct an 18 acres research park on the campus, which will soon be the largest institute research park in India, overtaking the IIT Madras research park which has a size of 13 acres.
IIT Tirupati is the IIT to have the highest gender and faculty-to-student ratio among all the IITs.
Tirupati is the only city in India to have an IIT (IIT Tirupati),[6] IISER (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Tirupati), and an IIIT (Indian Institute of Information Technology, Sri City), all in 1 city.
Campus
The college started functioning on 5 August 2015 in a temporary campus housed at Krishna Theja Educational Institutions in Chadalawada Nagar. IIT Tirupati initially functioned out of the campus of Chadalawada Group of Institutes in Tirupati, while the permanent building is coming up near Yerpedu located between Renigunta and Srikalahasti.
The hostel facility for boys and girls is ready at the Transit Campus (50 acres), Yerpedu, which is a part of the permanent campus, and is also known as the South Campus. The permanent campus is under construction and the transit campus has been already constructed which consists of the Classroom Complex, Hostel block, Open Air Theatre, Computer Labs, Engineering Workshops for all trades, Library, a 500-seater mess, Play Ground, Indoor stadium, and a health center.
The campus also has a grocery store, a 24/7 cafeteria, and a new combined Mess-Canteen building on the North campus.
Currently, the Stage 1C project of the campus construction is on the verge of completion, in the North campus. In this stage, the buildings constructed in the academic zone include two department buildings with offices for about 100 faculty members and about 50 laboratories, a Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF), a lecture hall complex (LHC) and an Administrative building. In the hostel zone, two hostels with 500 rooms each, a central dining facility, and sports facilities are ready. The residential zone includes the Director's bungalow that has already been occupied,168 apartments for faculty and staff, and a 20-room guest house. Two lakes spanning over 10 acres of land have been created on the campus to store water. In recognition of the sustainable construction, health and safety practices adopted at the site, the construction projects have received several awards, including the GRIHA Council Award for an exemplary demonstration of Sustainable Building Materials/Technologies, HUDCO Award for sustainable construction, International Safety Award Merit 2021 from the British Safety Council, RoSPA Gold Award 2020 from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, and the Trophy and Scroll for the category Construction Health, Safety & Environment presented at the 12th CIDC Viswakarma Awards, 2021.
Academics
IIT Tirupati offers a 4-year Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) along with 2-years Master of Science (M. Sc) Master of Science (M.S.), Master of Technology (M.Tech - started in 2018), Master of Public Policy (MPP) & Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programmes in several engineering, science and humanities fields . The academics of IIT Tirupati have been divided in two parts i.e. curriculum and courses.[7] Admission to the B.Tech programme is through the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE-Advanced) and students are admitted after completing 10+2 schooling.

Infrastructure Development
The Institute started its operations in 2015 from a temporary campus on the Tirupati Renigunta Road. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has provided a picturesque 548 acres of land for the development of the permanent campus for the Institute. The campus is being developed in multiple stages. A master plan has been prepared to build a campus to cater to 12,000 students while conserving its ecological features. IIT Tirupati set a goal that the first batch should live at least one year in the permanent campus and achieved the target. The Stage 1A campus consisting of laboratories, hostels, classrooms and sports facilities was completed by 2018 by using prefab and sustainable technologies. Subsequently, the Stage 1B project consisting of a hostel building, a classroom complex building and an engineering unit building were completed by the end of 2019. Currently, the Stage 1C project is under construction. In the academic zone, the buildings under construction include two Department Buildings that will have offices for about 100 faculty members and the associated laboratories, a Central Instrumentation Facility, a Lecture Hall Complex and Administrative Building. In the hostel zone, two hostels with 1,000 rooms, a Central Dining facility and sports facilities are under construction. In the residential zone, 168 apartments for faculty and staff, a 20 room guest house and Director's Bungalow are under construction. The external services for power, water, wastewater handling and roads are also under construction as part of this package. Two lakes over 10 acres are being created to store water. The architects for the project include M/s Suresh Goel and Associates, Delhi and M/s ADPL, Delhi. The construction projects are being implemented through CPWD. The contractor for the Stage 1C project is M/s JMC Projects Ltd. The Third-Party Quality Assurance is being provided by CUBE, IIT Madras. In spite of the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the project team has been able to make significant progress. The contract for the Stage 1C project was awarded on 20 March, 2020. However, due to the nationwide lockdown, the contractor M/s JMC Projects was able to start mobilization only after Unlock 1.0 was announced during the first week of June 2020. Viswakarma Awas, the workers' colony set up by the JMC Projects on a six acres plot in the campus is a model construction workers colony consisting of housing, RO water supply, STP for sewerage treatment, medical center, children's school and gardens.Шаблон:Cn
