IIT Bhubaneswar classes begin in Orissa

Classes of IIT-Bhubaneswar began in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday. The students are taught at the Kharagpur Extension Center building in the capital city.

Construction of the permanent campus of IIT-Bhubaneswar would be completed on a sprawling 935 acre at Kansapada in Jatni by 2011. So, until the new campus is set up, the classes would continue at the extension center for two to three years.

IIT-Bhubaneswar was established in 2008. Around 250 students of three streams, civil, mechanical and electrical, are currently studying in IIT-Bhubaneswar.

The authorities in Bhubaneswar have made temporary accommodation facilities for students in the city due to unavailability of hostel in the Kharagpur Extension Center.
