In IITP, we will strive toachieve this 4-way harmony of Technology, Humanitiesand Social Sciences, Basic Sciences and Mathematics.The original charter of new IITs, viz., interdisciplinaryresearch and teaching will thereby be addressed.IITP is strategically placed, geographically speaking. Thestretch from Gujarat to Manipur has 11 IITs (Gandhinagr,Jodhpur, Mandi, Ropar, Roorkee, Delhi, Kanpur, Patna,Kharagpur, Bhubaneshwar and Guwahati) and a largenumber of NITs and renowned universities. This sets upa tremendous powerhouse of knowledge and high qualityhuman resource. Additionally, the state of Bihar is richwith tradition and resources, emphasizes education, isblessed with the fertile Gangetic plain and abundantsunlight. This paves way for immense societal impactthrough agriculture and energy technology, amongstmany other possibilities.IITP has moved to Bihta, a place with history, about35 KM from main city Patna. The sprawling 500acre campus houses 4 academic complexes for thedepartments, a Class Rooms Complex, Faculty, Staffand Student Residential quarters, Hospital and Schooland an impressive Administrative building.
