The civil (B.Tech) branch of IIT Bhubaneswar began in 2008. The civil branch is part of the School of Infrastructure. In 2011, the Institute of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2011 was passed. According to this act, IIT Bhubaneswar is part of the eight New IITs established across India. 

The B.Tech Civil Engineering course was one of the first courses that were offered. Today IIT Bhubaneswar ranks at 17 by NIRF, showcasing the well-qualified professors and facilities it offers. There are forty-eight gender-neutral seats and ten women-only seats in the department. The branch also provides learning in management, humanities, communication skills, arts, general studies. The students thus go through rigorous intellectual and personality development.

IIT Bhubaneswar is one of the new IITs but still has a better ranking than NIT Hamirpur. These rankings are done on the basis of a lot of factors. IIT Bhubaneswar will be the right choice because an IIT has a lot of advantages that NIT does not.

NIT Hamirpur is an old and well-established institute which means it has larger alumni which IIT Bhubaneswar lacks because it was established in 2008. The average salary package offered in 2019 was 11.44 LPA at IIT Bhubaneswar and 6.78 LPA at NIT Hamirpur. NIT Hamirpur claims that the highest package offered in 2019 was of 120 LPA, you can check this at their placements cell website. NIT Hamirpur is a really good institute but it has a few drawbacks as it is located in a hilly region due to which the number of companies which come for placements is less although there is not a very big difference between these institutes.

There is a big difference between an IIT and an NIT. The IIT tag will give a lot of advantages only if you know how to use it like it may help you in getting jobs off-campus or if you want to go for higher studies.

Any institute can be in the news for various reasons. The kind of publicity may be bad or good depending on the situation, but IIT Bhubaneswar is an institute of national importance and often in the news because of many new developments that they are doing in the field of engineering. Some of the attractions that were covered in news are:

• Centre for Entrepreneurship is a non-profit organization that aims at the promotion of the spirit of entrepreneurship among students.
• High placement packages up to 39 lakhs, offered by companies to students of IIT Bhubaneswar.
• The state government engaged IIT-Bhubaneswar to conduct an audit of existing traffic calming initiatives on accident-prone roads.
• During times of corona pandemic, IIT Bhubaneswar developed portable and low-cost ventilators.

These are some news that made IIT Bhubaneswar famous among students. Also, students have been winning many national level competitions from the institute which is also covered in media. The research papers written by faculty and students are also covered by the Indian media. Apart from all these things an Institute can never stop itself from being shown in negative space also. Institute administration has been alleged of corruption from time to time.

Both achievements and negativity publicity is part of the news. Many old IITs are also on the same page but IIT Bhubaneswar being a new IIT is always in light for such events.
