After months of politics and bureaucratic wrangling with various state governments, the Union HRD Ministry has finally selected the states which will get new IITs and IIMs. While six new IIMs will be set up in Jammu & Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand, four new IITs will be located in Orissa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. The exact locations will be decided after the state governments identify 500 acres of contiguous land for setting up the campus.
