List of Institutes of National Importance

Institute of National Importance (INI) is a status that may be conferred to a premier public higher education
institution in India by an act of parliament, an institution which "serves as a pivotal player in developing highly
skilled personnel within the specified region of the country/state". INIs receive special recognition and funding.
As of 23 April 2015 the Ministry of Human Resource Development has listed 74 institutions under this
category.[1] All Indian Institutes of Technology, National Institutes of Technology, School of Planning and
Architecture, Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research and All India Institute of Medical Sciences are
considered Institutes of National Importance.
