The campuses are projected to be opened in Vijayawada, Warangal, Visakhapatnam, and Tirupati among others.

According to a press release, the proposal to this effect was placed before Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy by Raj Reddy, professor of Carnegie Mellon University USA, who is associated with the IIIT at Hyderabad. These centres are proposed under private-public partnerships.

The proposal is expected to take a final shape by January 2006 and the construction of these facilities would be over by 2010, the press release said.
