Indian Institute of Information Technology Una (IIIT Una), established in 2014 under the PPP model of the Ministry of Education, is located in Una, Himachal Pradesh — one of the northernmost IIITs in India. Nestled in the lower Shivalik foothills, it offers a unique campus environment combining quality government engineering education with the natural beauty of Himachal Pradesh.
IIIT Una offers B.Tech programmes in Computer Science & Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering, admissible through JEE Main via JoSAA counselling.

The curriculum emphasises software development, embedded systems, and emerging technologies, with an eye on both the Chandigarh–Mohali IT corridor (~100 km) and the broader Delhi NCR ecosystem.
The Training & Placement Cell leverages the institute's proximity to Chandigarh's IT sector and the Punjab–Haryana–HP industrial corridor. Average CTC reached ₹6.8 LPA in 2023–24, with growing participation from IT and electronics companies as the institute matures.
Una's setting in the lower Himalayas — with views of the Shivalik range, clean air, and a peaceful small-town atmosphere — offers students a focused, distraction-free academic environment that contrasts sharply with metro campuses.
