IOTA is a technical club of Indian Institute of Information Technology, Sri City. We currently have more than 100 regular members. We regularly work on projects ranging from IoT, AI, AR, Application Development and Cloud with the help of faculty mentors.

We have recently started to collaborate with other organizations from different domains to work on projects or problem statements. We take up projects or try to work on problem statements.

Ways in which we collaborate with Startups
  • We can collaborate on projects. We can allow a group of students either for working full time or to provide necessary support as per requirement.
  • Our club constantly conducts training sessions and skill development programs for all its members to ensure everyone is in touch with the latest technologies.
Some previous and ongoing projects:
