Bhubaneswar Institute of Technology (BIT) has just received AICTE approval
I am told by Prof. Rabi Mahapatra (Chairman of the Trustee) and Dr. Gopal Mohapatra (member Trustee) that BIT (Bhubaneswar Institute of Technology) has now received AICTE approval. This is great news. Since BPUT JEE counseling is already midway, I hope a way is found for BIT to admit students this year.
BIT will be a unique institution is Orissa. The reason I say it is that it is being built by several well-known professors from the US and several other professionals. Following is the list of its promoters as obtained from their web page.
