The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship had approved the proposal to set up IISs at three locations in Kanpur, Mumbai and Ahmedabad on not-for-profit public-private-partnership (PPP) basis.
The IISs in Gandhinagar will be set up with help from the Tata Education Development Trust which has been chosen through bidding process.
