The MoU would allow IIITU to have access to various labs and advance research facilities and allow the institutes in joint research collaborative projects.

Before the academic year 2019–20, [[National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur|NIT Hamirpur]] expressed its inability in accommodating IIIT Una students in its campus, thus for want of hostel accommodation for the new incoming students, a need of a second campus was expressed by the administration. By the start of the academic year 2019–20, IIITU started its second temporary campus (TC-II) in Chandpur, [[Haroli Tehsil|Haroli]], [[Una, Himachal Pradesh|Una]], where all the new incoming students were accommodated. At the same time the students of II, III and IV year had their classes conducted in the temporary campus in NIT Hamirpur (TC-I).<ref name="adm19"/><ref>{{cite news |last1=Sharma |first1=Rajesh |title=IIIT-Una finds its second transit campus in Haroli |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/himachal/iiit-una-finds-its-second-transit-campus-in-haroli/810049.html |access-date=3 November 2019 |agency=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]] |date=30 July 2019}}</ref>
