City is also close so that we don't need to spend much on autos.Teachers are friendly and didn't even expect that kind of behaviour from those experienced faculty. Curriculum is also very decent for all branches and cources.

Faculty:

Faculty to student ratio may be almost 1:10. Most of which are telugu and bengali people. As we hear bad about professors, their bad attitude towards students during internals... I found nothing sort of things over here. Math and computer science faculties are best here. Few professors are generally called rude for reducing grade for proxies etc. but those should be done. There is a mid and end sem for every semester. Mid is 30 percentage weightage and end is 50 rest is attendence and weekly assignments. Lab exams are also conducted both in mid and end sem.

IIT Bhubaneswar: 6 Answered Questions

What is the age limit that IIT Bhubaneswar follows for faculty recruitment ? Is there any relaxation ?

Devika KapurPh.D from Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar

IIT Bhubaneswar does not put any such age restrictions over faculty recruitment. Only for the post of Assistant Professor, the applicant must be below 35 years of age. The faculty is recruited mainly on the basis of education and experience. Having a bright extra-curricular experience, and other achievements can be a bonus qualification.

The minimum qualification required in the latest faculty advertisement released by the institute was - Ph.D. in the preceding degree in appropriate branch with first class or equivalent. There should be a consistently very good academic record maintained. They also require evidence of the applicant’s ability to pursue independent high-quality research.

Furthermore, university toppers at Bachelors and Masters Level are encouraged to apply.

The experience level requirements are different for different posts:-

For the post of a professor, a minimum of 10 years teaching /research / industrial/ professional experience is expected. Out of these 10 years, at least 4 years should be at the level of Associate Professor in IITs, IISc Bangalore, IIMs, IISERs, or at an institute at the equivalent level in India or abroad.
For the post of an associate professor, at least 6 years of teaching/ research/ industrial/ professional experience is expected. Out of these 6 years, at least 3 years should be at the level of Assistant Professor in IITs, IISc Bangalore, IIMs and IISERs or at any institution of comparable standards. Alternatively, experience as a Senior Scientific Officer/Senior Design Engineer in a research organization or industrial enterprise for 3 years is also accepted.
For the posts of assistant professors grade-I and Grade-II, relevant experience of minimum 3 years and less than 3 years, respectively, may be considered.

More information about pay-scale, specialization areas, visiting professor post and reservation criteria can be derived from the faculty advertisement released by the institute readily available on the official website of IIT Bhubaneswar.

Who are the best professors of IIT Bhubaneshwar?

Muskan ShethStudied Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (2017)

IIT Bhubaneswar has a lot of talented professors at its service which has till now produced around 2000+ research papers. Some of the professors worth mentioning are as follows:

Dr. Rajan Jha: He is from the School of Basic Science working in the physics department and would most probably teach you in the first semester itself. He’s done his Ph.D. from IIT‌ Delhi. Your whole journey of the college becomes a lot easier if you get a teacher as inspiring as him with his unmatched teaching style.
Prof. Sujit Roy: He’s done his Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur and further studies from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and Hokkaido University, Japan. He basically is one of those professors who’d give you your pending fruits of qualifying the JEE Advanced, by fulfilling your dreams of studying in a class filled up with enthusiasm and curiosity. He would definitely make you fall in love with the subject
Prof. Joy Chandra Mukherjee: He’s done his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kharagpur. He belongs to the branch of computer science and engineering and teaches Data structures to the first-year students. He is one of those professors who are not that strict with the rules of attendance and even conducts open book examinations. He is always open to students with their queries.
Dr. Rajesh Kumar: He’s a professor from the School of Basic Science in the Mathematics department. When you talk of a teacher, he has every box ticked in front of his name. With most of the students finding the calculus and graphs boring, it’s his teaching methodology that never lets go of any student’s attention.

The list might have passed over some of the names but the fact that being qualified enough to teach in a premier institute such as IIT Bhubaneshwar itself tells the quality of the faculty.

How good is the CSE branch and faculty at the IIT in Bhubaneswar ?

Anushua RoyB.Tech CE from IITBBSR (2019)

IIT Bhubaneshwar is at the 22nd rank in the NIRF 2020 ranking. However, there are many other IITs like IIT Madras, Delhi, Bombay, Kharagpur, and Kanpur among others, which are ranked higher than IIT Bhubaneshwar.

Looking at the parameter of placement in the CSE branch, it is quite impressive with a placement rate of 100%. Some reputed companies were present in the placement drives conducted in the college. In 2018, Adobe visited the college and offered the highest package, which was worth INR 38 lakh per annum. Similarly, Goldman Sachs had offered a package of 31.5 lakh to three students from the CSE branch.

The infrastructure required for the CSE branch is also quite well at IIT Bhubaneshwar. The college provides essential facilities like Wi-Fi network, computer laboratories, smart classes, library, and gymnasium.

The faculty is well-qualified and most of them are IIT alumnae and have Ph.D. The student to faculty ratio is 1 teacher to 40 students, which is not very impressive. However, the faculty provides students with elaborated notes and PowerPoint presentations to teach them in recreational ways.

Considering the academics and placement rate it’s clear that CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good.

Does the IIT in Bhubaneswar have the best staff and lab for mechanical engineering?

Sunita GuhaM.Tech, IIT Bhubaneswar (2020)

Yes, IIT Bhubaneswar will provide you with one of the best laboratories and staff in India for the Mechanical Engineering Course. The college has been constantly working to improve its staff and laboratories since its establishment in 2008. IIT Bhubaneswar has seven schools working under its Guidance: School of Basic Sciences, School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences, School of Electrical Sciences, School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Management, School of Infrastructure, School of Mechanical Sciences and School of Minerals, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. You’ll find separate well-equipped laboratories for each of these schools which facilitate students with good practical exposure. There are laboratories with 30 workstations served by an 18 blade server in the school of Mechanical Engineering. The list of major labs that will help you in the mechanical engineering course are as follows:

Material Testing Laboratory
Machine & Mechanism Laboratory
CAD/CAM/CAE Laboratory
Machine Tools & Machining Laboratory
CWF Laboratory
Advanced Product Development Laboratory
Sense & Process Laboratory
Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory
Heat Transfer Laboratory
Artificial Intelligence and Mechatronics Laboratory
IC Engine Laboratory
Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
Micro & Nanoscale Transport Phenomena Laboratory
Applied -Thermofluid Laboratory
Instrumentation Laboratory
Metrology Laboratory

Apart from laboratories, you will also have the support of well-qualified faculties which will not only help you in understanding your course curriculum but also will guide you in your future career. The school of mechanical science employs more than 200 staff. You can visit the official website and easily access the details of all the staff members. The faculties are very friendly with students and are also involved in basic research in their own areas of specialization. However, I believe that it’s the student and his effort which makes him draw maximum benefit and knowledge from the faculties. As the institute provides you with a blend of the best theoretical and practical learning experience, so I’ll recommend you to work hard during the duration of your course.
