History

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 envisaged that MIIT will be established and operated along the lines of the International Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) in India.[1][2][5]

Based on the MoU, MIIT was created as a National Centre of Excellence of the Ministry of Science & Technology (MoST), 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.[1]

The main academic building is equipped with multiple teaching and learning spaces that include classrooms, laboratories, an auditorium, and recreational areas.[6]

MIIT provides residential facilities for its entire teaching staff. Separate hostel facilities for both boys and girls are also provided.[6]
