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.

ur question is a bit wierd u 've asked 2 questions differently and dey cant 've the same ans. I feel shifting to iit bhub at dis stage is not at all beneficial, coz wat matters in an iit is d culture and not how many hotels or shopping malls surround u,if v ppl r shifted 2 d new campus in 3rd-4th yr den it is d best option coz v can learn bout iit culture in 2-3 yrs time and den can implement d same in d new campus

well its also good as well as bad to some extent...i m still a bit confused...

but talking of facilities...relating to academic u have the Institute of Mineral and Materials Technology (formerly RRL) and the Institute of Physics in its neighbourhood...and its expected we guys to have access to those institutes...And i hope u knw how important and well equipped these institutes are...

Talking of sports and games.....its expected that we get passes to Kalinga Stadium which has all sports from swimming to tennis and basketball....with world class infrastructure...

now one part if me says no kgp is better its culture and all.....but then another part says wht culture we have already seen the base..its time for us create a new culture with the same iit culture base...

It seems we all are confused....but the final answer we can only know when we shift......:)

keep commenting!!!

Hey there,see its nice to see our own campus.
moreover shifting or not shifting is not in our hands. We can only hope for the best. The only thing we can do is to stand united so as to face any challenges,as building a new IIT with only 100 student is a bit difficult and that also when all of us don't know each other much.I hope only to increase interaction between IIT bbsr students.
