The institutes have not been allocated with proper places to set up the campus and therefore till the time place for campus is decided, the classes for the new academic session will be conducted in other colleges.
The classes for IIT Goa will be conducted at Goa Engineering College and classes for IIT Dharwad will be conducted at Water and Land Management Institute (WALMI).
It has been estimated that it will take about 4 years for a 560-acre IIT Dharwad campus and a 300-acre IIT Goa campus to be completed.
