A brand new Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) [project report, circular, press note, counseling brochure, annexure] is currently being established in Bhubaneswar (FAQ), the vibrant, modern, capital city of Orissa. It is among the six new IITs that are scheduled to start classes this year. (The others are: IIT Hyderabad, IIT Patna, IIT Rajasthan, IIT Punjab and IIT Gandhinagar. Two other new IITs were announced to be established in Indore and Himachal Pradesh. But classes won't start there in 2008.) Bhubaneswar IIT is uniquely placed to become one of India’s top IITs within a decade.
