The Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management–Kerala (IIITM-K), an autonomous institution under the State government, is set to shift to a new world-class campus in Technocity at Pallipuram.
The first phase of the campus is ready to house the proposed five independent schools for Computing, Electronics Design and Automation, Informatics, Biosciences and Humanities and Digital Liberal Arts.
This will enable IIITM-K to conduct M.Tech, PG Diploma, and Certificate courses.

The master plan includes world-class facilities including an auditorium, administrative and academic blocks, students hostel, library and laboratory wing, faculty and non- faculty residences, director’s residence, and community centre.
