Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai is one of the youngest IIT and is established in the state of Chhattisgarh by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (GoI) in the year 2016. The concept of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) as Centres of Academic Excellence evolved from the vision of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to produce world leaders in technology and innovation from India to serve the nation. IITs are centrally funded, autonomous institutes which provide overall personality development of the students in all frames of life. The first IIT was established in 1951 at Kharagpur in West Bengal. Since then, with the growing demand several IITs have been established at regular intervals of time. Presently, there are 23 IITs across the nation.
IIT Bhilai is presently functioning from its transit campus at Government Engineering College (GEC) Raipur. The transit campus is about 10 kms from the main city of Raipur and is well connected through public transport to the railway station, airport, and Raipur City.
IIT Bhilai, despite being recently established, has provided ample opportunities to its students to excel both in academics and extracurricular activities. The institute has introduced the fractal academic programme, which fosters an environment of interdisciplinary learning (To know more about the academic structure click here).
The students are provided with well-equipped laboratories and a resourceful central library, which help them acquire holistic education. However, they are also encouraged to look beyond the classroom environment and participate wholeheartedly in the vibrant life of the student community on campus.
Council of Student Affairs (CoSA) is the student body, which actively conducts and manages student related activities of IIT Bhilai. CoSA coordinates various clubs on campus, which provide the students with the opportunities to hone their skills in dance, music, theatre, oratory, creative writing, art, and photography. Apart from these general interest clubs, the students can also become members of technical clubs dedicated to electronics components, coding, robotics, and space exploration. The campus is buzzing with the activities, which these clubs conduct on a regular basis. National Service Scheme (NSS) activities are also held frequently on campus where the students are encouraged to provide voluntary community service. The students of IIT Bhilai have also proved their mettle in sports by participating and winning laurels in events such as Inter-IIT Sports Meet. Thus, IIT Bhilai boast of a strong student community equally competent in academics, cultural activities and sports.
