IIT and IIM situation in India: if the planning commission approves where the new ones may be

Following is the current status regarding where the existing and announced IITs and IIMs are.

IITs: 7 existing IITs and 3 new ones have been announced. If planning commission approves the plan that has been floated, 5 more IITs will be established.

  1.  Andhra Pradesh (announced IIT)
   2.  Arunachal Pradesh
   3.  Assam     (existing IIT )
   4.  Bihar        (announced IIT)
   5.  Chhatisgarh  (possible new location)
   6.  Delhi      (existing IIT)
   7.  Goa       (possible new location)
   8.  Gujarat   (possible new location)
   9.  Haryana    (possibly a shared one with Punjab at Chandigarh)
   10. Himachal Pradesh 
   11. J & K      (possible new location)
   12. Jharkhand   (possible new location)
   13. Karnataka   (possible new location)
   14. Kerala         (possible new location)
   15. Madhya Pradesh  (possible new location)
   16. Maharastra (existing IIT)
   17. Manipur
   18. Meghalaya
   19. Mizoram
   20. Nagaland
   21. Orissa   (possible new location)
   22. Punjab  (possibly a shared one with Punjab at Chandigarh)
   23. Rajasthan   (announced IIT)
   24. Sikkim
   25. Tamil Nadu  (existing IIT)
   26. Tripura
   27. Uttarakhand (existing IIT)
   28. Uttar Pradesh (existing IIT)
   29. West Bengal   (existing IIT)

My guess is that if indeed 5 more new IITs are announced, then the underlined ones above will have the best chances.

IIMs: There are six existing ones, three new ones have been announced. If planning commission approves the plan that is being floated then four more new IIMs will be established.

7 more IIMs (3 announced)

   1.  Andhra Pradesh  (announced IIM)
   2.  Arunachal Pradesh
   3.  Assam
   4.  Bihar     (announced IIM)
   5.  Chhatisgarh  (possibly an IIM)
   6.  Delhi     (IIM Lucknow campus)
   7.  Goa
   8.  Gujarat   (existing IIM)
   9.  Haryana    (possibly a shared one with Punjab near Chandigarh)
   10. Himachal Pradesh
   11. J & K         (possibly an IIM)
   12. Jharkhand  (possibly an IIM)
   13. Karnataka  (existing IIM)
   14. Kerala     (existing IIM)
   15. Madhya Pradesh  (existing IIM)
   16. Maharastra  (possibly an IIM)
   17. Manipur
   18. Meghalaya  (announced IIM)
   19. Mizoram
   20. Nagaland
   21. Orissa      (possibly an IIM)
   22. Punjab    (possibly a shared one with Haryana near Chandigarh)
   23. Rajasthan (possibly an IIM)
   24. Sikkim
   25. Tamil Nadu (possibly an IIM)
   26. Tripura
   27. Uttarakhand  (possibly an IIM)
   28. Uttar Pradesh (existing IIM)
   29. West Bengal   (existing IIM)

My guess is that if indeed 4 more new IIMs are announced, and we are on target with respect to our guess on the IIT locations, then the underlined ones above will have the best chances for having IIMs.

Times of India: 8 more IITs and 7 more IIMs under consideration

Following is the report from Times of India on this. I hope the full planning commission approves this idea.

NEW DELHI: In a major rollout for high and technical education, Planning Commission has proposed a seven-year special plan (2007-14) which includes setting up eight new IITs, seven new IIMs, 20 NITs, 20 IIITs and 50 centres for training and research in frontier areas.

Of the IITs, three have already been cleared and one IIM at Shillong has received the green signal. The seven-year special plan for higher and technical education would start in the 11th Plan and spill over to the next without being diluted. The plan panel has proposed a funding of Rs 1.31 lakh crore for the seven year plan.

The full Planning Commission will discuss the proposal threadbare when it meets on August 6 to deliberate exclusively on the impetus that should be delivered to education for the 11th Plan.

The special plan envisages setting up of 30 central universities. One central university will be located in each of the 16 uncovered states while 14 new ones of world class will come up in states which provide land free of cost in attractive locations.

These universities will have various schools including medical and engineering institutions. Also, 370 new degree colleges in districts with low gross enrolment ratio would be established and 6,000 colleges would be strengthened.
In the field of technical education, the seven-year plan talks of expansion and upgradation of 200 technical institutions in various states. There is also a plan to upgrade seven technical universities which include Bengal Engineering College, Howrah, Cochin University of Science & Technology, Andhra University Engineering College, Vishakapatnam, University Engineering College, Osmania University, Jadavpur University, Institute of Technology BHU and Zakir Husain College of Engineering & Technology, AMU.

Apart from eight IITs and seven IIMs, there is a plan to have five Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research, two Schools of Planning and Architecture, 20 National Institutes of Technology, 20 Indian Institutes of Information Technology and 50 centres of training and research in frontier areas.

The central assistance under the special plan has a very strong reform component and looks up to states to agree for a minimum set of reforms to restructure higher education system covering admission, revision in curricula, collaboration with foreign universities and networking.

The Pioneer and others have  reported on it. Following is a short excerpt from the Pioneer report.

Computer Science will no more remain confined to the Science and Commerce Stream. It will also be taught in the Arts Stream too.
Firstly, it will be introduced in the Ravenshaw Deemed University.

A decision to this effect was taken at a high level meeting convened by the Chief Secretary Ajit Kumar Triapthy on Tuesday. Henceforth, computer science will be a compulsory subject in the graduation level in Arts, Commerce and Science Stream.

Preliminary Ranking of Orissa Engineering Colleges that participate in BPUT JEE counseling – solely based on student preferences

Solely based on the student preferences so far we develop a ranking below. Our methodology is we compare when the various branches of the colleges get finished.  For example below when we write CET (8, 8, 12, 12, 16) it means that two of CET branches were all finished in the GE category by the ranks 800, two by 1200 and one by 1600. We will use the first three numbers unless it becomes necessary to go beyond that.

• 1. UCE Burla (8,8,12,12,16)
• 1. CET Bhubaneswar  (8,8,12,12,16)
• 2. ITER Bhubaneswar (16,16,16)
• 3. Silicon Bhubaneswar (16, 20, 20)
• 4. CV Raman (20,24,28)
• 5. NIST Berhampur (24, 24, 28)
• 6. GITA (28,28,32)
• 7. Orissa Eng College Bhubaneswar (28, 28, 36)
• 7. IGIT Sarang (20,28,45)
