Welcome to IIT Bhubaneswar

24, Jun 2009

The results of JEE counselling are out and IIT Bhubaneswar is about to get 120 new entrants. I remember the time when I had appeared for the counselling the previous year. I was under a lot of confusion, a not so great JEE AIR, but options open left and right in BITSAT and AIEEE counselling. On Jun 30, the verdict was - E11 (Electrical Engineering, IIT Bhubaneswar).

I spent the next week, trying to dig up stuff about IIT BBS, as I was about to be part of its first batch. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't much available on the net or anywhere for that matter. On July 23rd, I registered myself as a student of IIT BBS. And ever since then, there has been no looking back.

One year since..

I must admit, I did have my misgivings when I took up IIT Bhubaneswar. But, it was like a challenge where the odds were stacked against you, though only slightly. It was an enjoyable and a definitely memorable first year. I can count more highs than lows in it. One of the best and the worst part was, living in the huge Kharagpur campus. That enabled us to enjoy the highly hyped 'Campus Life', and mind you, it is worth all that hype! And it is also the worst part, coz we were to let go of it after just a year! But again, new challenges await. IIT BBS is all set to kick off from Bhubaneswar come July 2009!

If you are a BBS fresher, shake off whatever misgivings you may have, put a broad grin on your face and join the bandwagon

WELCOME FRESHERS - 2009

A world of opportunities await you, congratulations on making your choice!

Well IIT Bhubaneswar will start functioning its classes from the IIT Kharagpur extension campus in Bhubaneswar this July...

The students are to be housed in apartments of SBI colony in Keshura,Bhubaneswar which seems one of the best of Bhubaneswar except the fact that it is almost 10kms from the extension centre.
Each block has 4 floors and each of the flat has 3 bedrooms,2 toilets,1 dining,1 drawing...IIT Bhubaneswar has supposedly hired 50 flats for its students and faculty.

With the concept of Working Lunch and we IITians spending half of their time in hostel and half in the Extension Campus with a substantial time on bus for transit...we hope everything turns up smoothly as per the plan of the authorities.

Here's a volley of pictures of the colony...
