Indian Institute of Technology - IIT-BBS

IIT Bhubaneswar (IIT-BBS) started its journey from 2008 under the supervision of the Government of India and Human Resource Development (HRD). When the Seven new IIT's were initially established, IIT Bhubaneswar was one of them. IIT Bhubaneswar was established under an act called the Institute and Technology ACT, 2011. The mission of IIT Bhubaneswar is to form into a body, where everyone can work, listen and can grant respect to each other and, to aim for a fertile partnership between the industry and the institute. IIT Bhubaneswar is an Institute of National Importance. The first batch was started in 2008 under the guidance of IIT Kahargpur, and started working at Bhubaneswar, from 22nd July, 2009. Currently, IIT Bhubaneswar is operating from 'Toshali Bhawan'. IIT Bhubaneswar also gets support from IMMT and central tool room and training center. Soon, IIT Bhubaneswar will soon be shifting in its own permanent campus, which is constructed on a 936 acres piece of land. The transit campus has all necessary facilities, which an institute needs for the better development of students. Among the new IITs established, the School of Basic Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar envisages to become a state-of-the-art department with high quality education and cutting edge interdisciplinary research in science. The school proposes to offer integrated M.Sc-Ph.D program and Ph.D program in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in order to nurture young minds towards scientific challenges. The school also proposes to offer M.Tech program in Nanoscience and postdoctoral program in the above discipline to motivate researchers and scientists to build their career in academics and industries. Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar (IITBBS) was set up by the Government of India in 2008. Currently, the Institute has 581 students in the Bachelor of Technology programme in Civil Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgical & Materials Engineering along with 140 M. Sc., 124 M. Tech. and 181 Ph. D. with a total of 1026 students. In the academic year 2016-17, the Institute is offering following B. Tech. & Dual Degree Pogrammes (1)      4 year B. Tech in Civil Engineering (CE) with student strength of 40. (2)      4 year B. Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) with student strength of 40.  (3)      4 year B.
