LOK SABHA
Based on the recommendations made by the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (SAC-PM), it has been decided to set up three new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), one each in the States of Rajasthan, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh during the XI plan. In order to expand the facilities for high quality management education in the North-East, the Government has decided to establish an Indian Institute of Management (IIM), at Shillong. After considering requests of the State Governments and other relevant factors such as existing regional distribution of Central Educational Institutions in the country, it has been decided to locate 5more IITs and 6 more IIMs in the following States:-
IITs – Himachal Pradesh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh (Indore), Gujarat and Punjab.
IIMs – Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh (Raipur), Uttarakhand and Haryana.
16 States which do not have a Central University at present, and which will get one Central University each in the 11th Plan are Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Goa. Of these, in three States, existing State Universities will be taken over by the Central Government and converted into Central universities. These three Universtities are Dr. Hari Singh Gaur University, Sagar (in Madhya Pradesh), Guru Ghasidas University, Bilaspur (in Chattisgarh), and Goa University.
Establishment of IITs, IIMs, and Central Universities in the above States is subject to State Governments offering adequate land at suitable locations, free of cost, for the purpose. Each of the concerned State Government is being requested to offer land accordingly. Actual establishment of these institutions would however depend, among other things, on how quickly the concerned State Governments respond by allotting adequate land at suitable locations.
Locations of 20 new Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IITs), to be set up in the 11th Plan have not been finalized.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development Smt. D. Purandeswari in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.

I’d be surprised if Orissa doesn’t get an IIIT.
If the IIT will be established as per Prof. Baral’s suggestion in Khallikote, in southern Orissa, then I see no reason why the IIIT and the NID must be established in Berhampur. Western Orissa which already has an NIT, could be seeing UCE Burla turn into an IIEST/NIT (hopefully!). The IIIT thus, can go somewhere else, such as one of the newly industrializing zones – Kalinganagar, Paradip, etc.
