Background Note

From the early 1980s, the demand for a workforce, which had computer skills, was increasing among Indian corporates. This was mainly because the economy was becoming more IT-oriented. Unlike the developed countries, in India, basic computer education was yet to become a part of the educational system.

Only in a few engineering and computer science colleges offered computer education. This led to the emergence of small, regional IT training institutes offering low-end courses, focusing mainly on creating a general awareness about computers.

Though its courses were not recognized by any Indian university, its placement records were rather good and the company was able to sustain the inflow of students. In 1993, the company came out with an initial public offering of 3.6 million shares. In the same year, the company diversified into the software development business with the development of instructional software products to be used as teaching aids in schools. In 1994, NIIT implemented ISO 9001 standards and was certified by BVQI3...
