Students in the IIT Bhubaneswar are missing lot facilities. They don't have proper ground to play and people say it is less than an average college. Is this true?

IIT Bhubaneswar is among the second generation of IIT and it was established in 2008. Despite being a newly established institute, IIT Bhubaneswar is doing quite well in terms of academics and placements. According to 2020 NIRF Rankings. IIT Bhubaneswar was ranked at 22nd among the engineering colleges in India.

It is a new IIT and still in the developing phase, so it does not have the infrastructure as the old well-established IITs like Delhi, Bombay, etc. IIT Bhubaneswar as a campus is much better than any other new IITs but it does lack a proper playground and the students have to depend on the IMMT grounds which are only open for weekends. It also does not have some facilities like few labs for the school of Mechanical Engineering. But that does not mean IIT Bhubaneswar is any less. IIT Bhubaneswar is a new establishment and it will take some more years for this institute to come at the same level as the old IITs.

IIT Bhubaneswar also offers many facilities, for example, it has a Design and Innovation Centre (DIC) which is funded by the Ministry of Human Research Development (MHRD). Students work on cultural programs, fests, around the year to liven up the culture of IIT. IIT Bhubaneswar may not have all the facilities like the old IITs but they are trying their best to improve the IIT status.
