IIT Bhubaneswar’s vision getting shaped
February 26th, 2009
Following is an excerpt taken today from IIT Bhubaneswar’s home page. It gives some idea on what IIT Bhubaneswar is aiming for.
IIT Bhubaneswar with its 935 acres of land will be designed to have a self contained campus for 10,000 students and 1100 faculty. A Science Park will be part of this institution. The Park will house a large number of industry supported R&D units. It will promote industry relevant collaborative R&D activities with the institute and facilitate practice relevant education.
The Institute will offer education and research programmes in disciplines of national and global interest. The specific local needs will also be taken care of. To promote inter-disciplinary education and research, the Institute will not have many narrow specialization oriented departments. It will have few Schools and each School can offer several programmes.
The Foundation Stone for this IIT was laid on February 12, 2009. An estimated amount of Rs.780 crores will be spent in next few years to develope this Institute. A Master Plan for this Institute is being developed. Global tender for choice of Architect has been floated. Within next 2 years, the Institute will be operational from the new campus.

I request Dr Baral to do a write up on cut off marks for IIT JEE 2008 and other national examination.It\’s not the lack of coaching, but lack of transparency in national exams that deprives students from remote areas to compete with their more privileged counterparts from metros.When one knows what score is needed one can prepare without requiring any guidance.For example who knew that mere 40% would be enough to crack IIT.Aren\’t we told that less than 70% is a bad score in science.No wonder people lose heart when they see that it\’s hard to score over 70% marks in IITs. I was stunned to hear from one ex-colleague who had cleared IIM that he had scored 35% in that exam.I remember when I was preparing for CAT, I wasn\’t aware what score I should be aiming for.When one aims too high one is often disappointed.
