IIT Hyderabad is one of the IITs in India. The IITs were started by an Act of the Parliament, the Institutes of Technology Act (1961). Currently, they are administered by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. The Insitute is running under the mentorship of IIT Madras.
Currently, the Institute is located in its temporary premises in the quiet residential campus of Ordnance Factory Medak (OFMK) at Yeddumailaram (Medak District, Andhra Pradesh). The requisite infrastructure, namely hostels, classrooms, offices, recreation, sports and medical facilities, are all located within the OFMK campus. The permanent campus is located on the National Highway 9 at Kandi village (near Sangareddy town, in Medak District, Andhra Pradesh). The foundation stone of this campus was laid by Sonia Gandhi on 27 February 2009.[1] The 212-hectare land will become operational with its first set of buildings and structures by the summer of 2010; the third academic year onwards, students will join the permanent campus directly.
