APU, the Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU), is an educational organisation specialising in providing education and training programmes in computing and information technology. Founded by Datuk Dr Parmjit Singh and based originally in Malaysia, APIIT has since established other centres in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka. The Institute works in collaboration with selected universities in the United Kingdom and has produced more than 14,000 graduates.
Asia Pacific IIT was founded in 1993 as part of an initiative by the Malaysian Government to address the shortage of IT Professionals in the country. The newly formed Institute was based in Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur, and offered Diploma courses in computing and IT.
In the following year, co-operative links were established with Monash University in Australia, leading to the launch of a twinning programme in 1995 for Bachelor's degrees. This was followed in 1996 by a twinning relationship with Staffordshire University in UK for master's degree courses.
Expansion led to the opening of the Kuala Lumpur city campus in 1997, followed by campuses in Karachi, Pakistan (1998), Colombo, Sri Lanka (2000), Lahore, Pakistan (2000), Panipat, India (2001) and Perth, Australia (2004). In 2003 the Malaysian campus moved to new premises at Technology Park Malaysia, where it is now known as APIIT TPM.
The curriculum has developed, with the Institute becoming a SUN and Microsoft authorised training centre in 1998, a SAP University Alliance Partner in 1999, and a Microsoft Certified Technical Education Centre in 2001. APIIT gained University College status in 2004.
Courses are run at four levels: foundation, diploma, degree and postgraduate. For international and local students it also offers English courses at their English Language Center Students interested in engineering courses offered by APIIT, Panipat can apply to its B.Tech course through NAT 2016 online exam that will be conducted on June 3, 2016.
