New Delhi: The National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology (NIELIT), under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to establish India’s first dedicated Quantum and Artificial Intelligence University campus in Amaravati.
The remarkable MoU marks a significant step toward strengthening India’s deep-tech ecosystem and aligns with Andhra Pradesh’s vision to build a globally competitive quantum innovation hub through its proposed Andhra Quantum Mission. Amaravati is poised to emerge as the nucleus of the state’s ambitious Quantum Valley initiative.
NIELIT is a premier autonomous scientific society under MeitY, mandated to advance education, skilling, training, research, and capacity building in emerging technologies across India. NIELIT has been granted the status of a Deemed-to-be University, with 12 approved campuses across the country.
Under this framework, the upcoming Amaravati initiative will be developed as a specialized Quantum & AI-focused university campus, dedicated exclusively to frontier domains. While anchored within NIELIT’s Deemed-to-be University ecosystem, the Amaravati campus will represent India’s first institutionally dedicated academic hub focused solely on Quantum and Artificial Intelligence.
The proposed campus will focus on cutting-edge domains including:
- Quantum Computing and Quantum Algorithms
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Quantum Communication and Cybersecurity
- Quantum Hardware and Systems Engineering
- High-Performance Computing
- AI–Quantum Convergence Research
The campus will integrate undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD Programs, Advanced Research Laboratories, Industry-linked Centres of Excellence (CoEs), Deep-tech incubation and entrepreneurship support, and Global academic and R&D collaborations
