The girl students will be accommodated in the hostel within the campus. All the boy students of the first year will be accommodated (3 per room) in different rented hostels outside the campus (within 03 to 08 KMs) and the Institute will provide conveyance (to and fro) free of cost. All boy students will be accommodated inside the campus hostels / rented hostels within walkable distance from the second year onwards.

Medical Facility: The Medical Centre at our institute places a strong emphasis on the wellness of students and staff, providing tailored services to meet their specific needs. The services include regular consultations for common ailments and comprehensive diagnostic services including laboratory tests (in collaboration with Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Thiruvananthapuram). We have highly qualified medical professionals including doctors, nurses and laboratory technicians. Our team provides empathetic and patient-centered approach to all students and staff members, ensuring a supportive and comforting environment. The general facilities include a consultation room, procedure room, a comfortable waiting area, separate male and female ward, isolation room and a sample collection centre. The medical centre is also equipped with advanced diagnostic and support facilities like ECG machine, Autoclave, UV Sterilizer, Steamer, Infrared massager, Glucometer, Otoscope, Oxygen concentrator, Nebulizer, Pulse Oximeter, etc.  The medical centre also offers 24/7 emergency services. The Medical Centre at our institute has established strong partnerships with nearby hospitals like Mar Sleeva Medicity Pala and Marian Medical Centre Pala to enhance the quality of healthcare services and ensure comprehensive care for our community. Initiatives like health camps, awareness programs and blood donation camps are conducted regularly with the support of these hospitals. The institute has also employed a full-time counselling psychologist to support the mental and emotional well-being of students, staff, and the broader community.
  

State of the art Labs/Infrastructures: IIIT Kottayam continues constructing buildings and establishing research labs based on the requirement of faculty/industries. Constructing several research labs such as IoT Cloud research lab, Computer Networking lab, 3D printing design lab, Cyber Lab, Gyaan Lab, FACTS-H Lab, Intelligent Integrated Circuits and Systems (I2CS) Lab and so forth are in progress at IIIT Kottayam for improving the practical knowledge of students.  Selective students could visit leading industries (including AIM-Aayog, Intel, CDAC, NIWE) and international Universities such as University of Innsbruck, Austria, University of Klagenfurt Austria, Technical University Munich Germany and so forth where our faculties are collaborated with research ideas.

IIIT Kottayam is driving impactful research in 6G, IoT, UAV security, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) through prestigious global collaborations and funded projects. The institute is leading the ASEAN DST-funded HPC project in partnership with AIT Thailand, Universiti Teknologi Brunei, Cambodia Public University, and other institutions, advancing computational research for disaster management and climate adaptation. Additionally, IIIT Kottayam is spearheading projects on 5G, 6G, and IoT security in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, supported by MeitY, EPSRC UK, UKI-FNI, and the British Council.

The British Council’s Going Global Partnership Programme supports a unique collaborative project between IIIT Kottayam and the University of Glasgow, UK, focused on IoT for Intelligent Systems, with a funding of ₹15 lakhs. This initiative emphasizes the development and delivery of a joint Transnational Education (TNE) program, aiming to provide a world-class learning experience for undergraduate students at both institutions. The academic teams, including the Director of IIIT Kottayam and faculty members from the University of Glasgow, worked closely to design a comprehensive course curriculum that integrates both theoretical foundations and practical applications of IoT technologies. The course, offered simultaneously at both institutions, covers critical topics such as IoT architecture, sensor networks, data analytics, and smart system design, ensuring that students receive a robust education aligned with global industry standards. A distinctive feature of the program is its strong practical component, where students engage in hands-on projects and real-world problem-solving. Through virtual labs, interactive workshops, and collaborative assignments, students from both institutions work together on innovative IoT-based solutions for smart environments. To further enhance the learning experience, the program includes faculty and student exchanges, with visits from IIIT Kottayam faculty to the University of Glasgow and vice versa. These visits facilitate guest lectures, workshops, and practical training sessions, providing students with invaluable exposure to international academic practices and fostering a collaborative learning environment. This joint effort not only enriches the educational experience but also strengthens research collaborations, setting a precedent for future TNE initiatives. By aligning their educational strategies and leveraging their combined expertise, IIIT Kottayam and the University of Glasgow aim to create a model program that equips students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in the rapidly evolving field of IoT.

IIIT Kottayam has signed MOU’s with various international players such as .
