The Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology ({{lang-si|ශ්‍රී ලංකා තොරතුරු තා‌ක්ෂණ ආයතනය}}; {{lang-ta|இலங்கை தகவல் தொழில்நுட்ப நிறுவனம்}}) (also known as SLIIT) is a private institute in Sri Lanka specializing in technology, engineering and business. It is an autonomous non state institute in Sri Lanka, awarding undergraduate and taught- and research postgraduate degrees.[1][2][3][3][4][5][3] It has two campuses and four regional centres, the main campus being based in Malabe and a Metropolitan Campus in Colombo. Current enrollment is approximately 7000 in total.[8]

SLIIT is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and International Association of Universities, and has several partnerships with international universities.[6][7]

History

Founding

Lalith Athulathmudali originally acquired the 25 acre land where SLIIT stands today in the 1980s in the expectation of building a Technological University and the headquarters of the Mahapola Trust Fund.{{Citation needed|date=March 2018}} Minister of Commerce Kingsley Wickramaratne and Richard Pathirana would eventually use the land for establishing SLIIT.[8]

The Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology was established in 1999 by incorporation under the Companies Act of 2007 as a nonprofit company by guarantee (registration number GL 24) with the ability to award Bachelor of Science degrees following amendments to the Universities Act the same year, thus gaining recognition from the University Grants Commission.[9][10][11] SLIIT was established primarily to educate and train information technology professionals.

Expansions

Initially limited to the fields of information technology and computing, in 2007 SLIIT expanding into new fields of study. These include electronic engineering and business management in collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University.[12] SLIIT also expanded its presence from Colombo and its suburbs to other parts of the country, by establishing centres in Kandy and Matara, making SLIIT accessible in six locations. Presently, SLIIT operates two campuses - the Colombo Metropolitan Campus at Kollupitiya, and the Malabe Campus, with centres in Matara, Kandy, Jaffna and Kurunegala with an undergraduate student population of over 7,000. A further 1,000 students follow master's degree Programmes, Postgraduate Diploma and other Professional Development Programmes.

In 2011, SLIIT established its faculty of business after it was accredited by the UGC to award Bachelor of Business Administration degrees in Human Capital Management, Accounting and Finance, Marketing Management, Quality management and Management Information Systems.

This was following in 2012, with the establishment of the Colombo Academy of Hospitality Management (CAHM); the first internationally recognised school for tourism and hospitality management in Sri Lanka. The project is a joint venture of SLIIT, Colombo Academy of Hospitality Management (CAHM),[13] and William Angliss Institute of Australia. It has been developed in line with international standards, housing a multi-use training kitchen, a full-scale banqueting facility, training restaurant, model bedrooms, an IT training centre and team rooms for students' practical training to prepare students for the degree of Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management.[14][15]

The faculty of engineering was formed in 2013, with it awarding its own Bachelor of Science in Engineering degrees and master's degrees from partner universities such as Curtin University and Sheffield Hallam University.[16] The SLIIT Computing was established as a privately managed subsidiary of SLIIT in Kollupitiya to further expand undergraduate studies. In 2015, SLIIT established its School of Architecture, offering a three-year degree in architecture. In 2016, introducing 16 new research based degrees including PhD and MPhil degrees approved by the University Grants Commission of Sri Lanka.[17]

Campuses

SLIIT has two main campuses in the Western Province- a Metropolitan campus in central Colombo, and a flagship suburban campus at Malabe. The Malabe campus covers an area of about {{convert|10|ha|acres|abbr=on}}, making it the larger of the two campuses, and houses the faculties of Computing, Business and Engineering, as well as the main library. Located between Kaduwela and Malabe along the New Kandy Road, it is the only SLIIT campus with sporting facilities. The smaller Metropolitan campus is located within the Bank of Ceylon Merchant Tower at Kollupitiya, hosting mostly postgraduate facilities.

The institute also has regional centres in Kandy, Matara, Jaffna and Kurunegala.

Governance

The institute is governed by a board of directors headed by a chairman; the current chairmen is Professor L. Rathnayake, who succeeded founding chairman Professor Sam Karunaratne.[6] Due to government ownership of the institute, many of the Board's seats are held by government officials on an ex-officio basis.[18]

The Board delegates power over academic and administrative affairs of the institute to the President, who also acts as CEO of the institute. Professor Lalith Gamage is the current President.[23]
