Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai is the youngest IIT among 23 IITs. It was established in the state of Chhattisgarh by Ministry of Human Resource and Development in the year 2016. IIT Bhilai is presently housed in its transit campus at Government Engineering College (GEC), Sejbahar, Raipur.
On the academic front IIT Bhilai is innovating and scaling while maintaining quality: we have B.Tech and M.Tech programs in 3 engineering disciplines i.e., Computer Sc. & Engg., Electrical Engg. and Mechanical Engg., M.Sc in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, and Ph.D. in all of them. The academic program at IIT Bhilai is inspired from what is known as fractal academics. The primary motivation is to provide a comprehensive yet flexible learning environment by atomizing courses providing breadth as well as depth, with stress on project-based and hands-on teaching. At the same time the curriculum advocates in favour of courses in Liberal arts and Creative arts to impart a more holistic education.
The training and placement program currently includes the summer internship program of 6-8 weeks. In summer 2018, around 80 students went for internships in organizations including DRDO, BARC, BSNL, Tata Motors Ltd, Bridgestone India Pvt. Ltd., Hyundai Motor India Limited.
