The IIT Bhubaneswar will be temporarily located in the IIT Kharagpur Extension Center. It is located 1km from the NH-5 Jaydev Vihar exit towards Nandan Kanan. It is behind Ginger hotel and Swosti Plaza hotel. Across these two hotels is the Trident Oberoi and about 300 mts away is the Mayfair lagoon Hotel. Each of these hotels have many nice restaurants. About 700 mts from IIT location is the Pal Heights shopping complex that has a very good restaurant as well as an Oxford book store. About 500 mts the other direction is the Sandy’s Square which has a Smoking Joes Pizza.
Next to the IIT location is the Shyamasam Dham, one of the Main Ashrams of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat.
About 150-200 mts to the IIT location is Gandhi Park and Janata Maidan. The later can be a ground to play outdoor games such as Cricket, Football and Hockey.
The IIT location is in the North east corner of the large Institute of Mineral and Materials Technology (formerly RRL) campus. It is expected that the IIT students will have access to this campus and some of its amenities including its outdoor playing areas. The Kalinga Stadium and its swimming pool is about 1.5 kms from the IIT location.
The Maharaja theater is 2 kms away. XIMB (Basketball, Tennis courts, Football ground, auditorium) is 600 mts away. Institute of Physics is 700 mts away. Utkal University is 1 km away.
The ESI Hospital is about 250 mts from the IIT location and Kalinga Hospital is about 1 kms away. (Next to Kalinga Hospital is the Institute of Life Sciences and Regional Medical research Center).
As i had promised some news........well here is it.....
As per news we are shifting to Bhubaneswar from the coming session i.e. 3rd semester onwards in July....
As per the plan for now....we are gonna have the classes in the extension campus of IIT Kharagpur in Bhubaneswar for close to 2 yrs....then by 4th year(hope so!!) we guys are going to shift to our own campus in ARGUL,a place some 20-25 kms from Bhubaneswar main city...
As per sources a 250 seater hostel is in place...and classrooms and labs are underway.....
But for now the extension campus is located in a plush area of Bhubaneswar with 3-5 star hotels surrounding it...
From Trident to Swosti to Mayfair....from Oxford Bookstore to Cafe Coffee Day to Habibs to Smokin Joes Pizza....all in a vicinity of about 2km radius around it.....
Well i have been living all my life in Bhubaneswar....and trust me u guys have come in the best time for its changing in every way u can believe...:)
I will update photos of that campus and Bhubaneswar soon......
Sorry that this blog looks a bit dumb for i m a new user to blogger myself...i would improve it as much as possible in a few days.....and also add some photos of Bhubaneswar for ur info...:)
And also sorry for the link iitbbs...i wanted iitbbsr but it was already taken in....so thought bbs being the railway station code should work out too......:)

Welcome one and all.....and especially the students of the brand new IIT Bhubaneswar....
This is a sort of students forum..where all IIT BHUBANESWAR students are free to express their opinion..Also i invite anybody else to also take part in our discussion..
I opened this blog with an aim to unite the IIT BHUBANESWAR students for at present in Kharagpur we hardly have got an opportunity to know each other much....belonging to different sections,blocks....blah blah add to the reason...
Also we can keep ourselves informed here of the latest developments concerning our institute....(some good news well say news may be good for some and bad for some will follow in my successive posts)
Finally i hope i would see ya all around actively here.....
Common guys we are just a 100 we stand united.......we make this IIT a grand success....Lets have a strong foundation to it....
Wish us all luck!!!:)
