IIIT Naya Raipur was established as part of a wider effort by the Government of India and several state governments to create specialised institutes of information technology across the country. The institute operates under the public-private partnership (PPP) model that has been used for several other Indian Institutes of Information Technology, with participation from the state government and industry partners. It is situated in Naya Raipur, a greenfield capital city developed adjacent to the older city of Raipur, which serves as the state capital of Chhattisgarh.
The institute offers programmes at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels, primarily in computer science and engineering, electronics and communication engineering, and related interdisciplinary domains. Teaching is organised through dedicated academic departments, and the institute also supports research activity through laboratories and centres focused on areas such as data science, communications, and embedded systems.
The campus is located in Naya Raipur, a planned city in the Raipur district of Chhattisgarh. Naya Raipur was developed as a new administrative capital with modern infrastructure, and IIIT-NR is one of the institutions of higher education hosted within this planned urban area.
IIIT Naya Raipur is among the technology-focused higher education institutions established in central India, contributing to the regional ecosystem of engineering education and research. It complements other institutes in Chhattisgarh and supports the state's objectives of developing skilled human resources in information technology.
