| Locations for 8 new IITs, 7 IIMs announced | | | BS Reporter / New Delhi March 29, 2008 | | | |
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) today announced the locations of eight new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and seven Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) along with 30 Central and ‘world class universities’ to be set up in the country during the 11th Plan period.
Out of the eight IITs, first announced by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his Independence Day speech, one IIT would be set up at Indore in Madhya Pradesh while Orissa, Gujarat and Punjab would get one each.
The ministry had earlier announced IITs for Bihar, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. Medak district near Hyderabad has been identified for Andhra Pradesh IIT, according to state government official.
Of the seven new Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), envisaged in the 11th Plan, one each would be set up in Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Haryana and Chhattisgarh. An IIM for the North-East at Shillong was earlier announced and has been named as Rajiv Gandhi Indian Institute of Management.
HRD Minister Arjun Singh who made the announcement today also named the locations for 16 Central universities and a new category of 14 ‘world class universities’ to come up in state capitals and major cities. The latter are Central universities which the government says would aspire to world standards.
The 16 Central universities would be set up in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Goa.
In three states, existing state universities would be taken over by the Central government and converted into Central universities. These are Dr Hari Singh Gaur University, Sagar (Madhya Pradesh), Guru Ghasidas University, Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh), and Goa University.
“Establishment of the IITs, IIMs and Central universities in the above states is subject to state governments offering adequate land at suitable locations, free of cost, for the purpose,” Arjun Singh said.
According to officials, each of the new IIT would require about Rs 760 crore to make it fully functional, while an IIM would need Rs 250 crore.
For a Central university, the requirement is Rs 250 to Rs 300 crore (including recurring and non-recurring costs over a period of four to five years). While intake of the new IITs would be around 2,500 students, it would be 120 per year in IIMs, they said.
State-wise list of cities identified for locating 14 world class universities during the 11th Plan:
1 Maharashtra - Pune
2 West Bengal - Kolkata
3 Tamil Nadu - Coimbatore
4 Karnataka - Mysore
5 Andhra Pradesh - Vishakapatanam
6 Gujarat - Gandhinagar
7 Rajasthan - Jaipur
8 Bihar - Patna
9 Madhya Pradesh - Bhopal
10 Kerala - Kochi
11 Punjab - Amritsar
12 Orissa - Bhubaneshwar
13 Uttar Padesh - Greater Noida
14 North Eastern Region - Guwahati

| In the IIMs 80% of the faculties may have PHDs but the delivery quality is very poor. 20% are really good.
The problem lies not in setting up IITs and IIM but also quality of faculty, there is an absolute shortage of faculty. Industry is paying more than academics.
It's still a catch 22 situations.
But good to know things are comomg up.

i fully agree with avinash, i am not able to understand why M.P. government wants to locate all premier instute in one city. on the other hand all the four cities of M.P. are more or less equal status, ultimately population explosion will come on indore. and govrnment wants to give credit to indore only. this is not justifiable. |

dont worry, we will import some good professors us, europe etc. if we can work as engineers in their country, we can of course let them teach here. no probs at all. Anyways I assume the central universities will have large number of foreign students so the balance will be quite right. |

| Why kolkata has been selected for locating a central university? It is already congested. In place of kolkata, Kalyani should have been selected for the central university. Kalyani is close to Kolkata and has got good connections and enough free space is available. I would request the concerned authority to consider Kalyani afresh.
