Did you feel bad after joining IIT Bhubaneswar?

Yes, an engineering aspirant might be taken aback the first time they come to IIT Bhubaneswar as it's a kind of a disappointment to the IIT tag and nothing as the students imagined. However, like every coin has 2 sides, IIT Bhubaneswar has its pros and cons that will help you understand the feelings of a student there.

Pros

• IIT Bhubaneswar being a new institute allows the students to innovate new things and bring fresh changes to the institute. This helped their managerial skills.
• The small batch size means every student will be involved in the college activities some or the other way thus maximizing exposure.
• The seniors guide their juniors as they know they need constant assistance this strengthens the bond between juniors and seniors
• The institute helped the students' overall personality development because of numerous opportunities and exposure.

Cons

• My friend had to travel 2 hours daily to reach the main campus and was not able to stay late because the last bus left around 9.
• There wasn't any place for girls to stay in between classes while boys can go to the hostel. 
• The institutes have very poor faculty strength and thus limited electives are offered.
• The quality and taste of food served is pathetic.

My friend considers IIT Bhubaneswar a decent choice as the opportunities and exposure here will overshadow the minute flaws of the institute.
