How is IIT Bhilai overall?

One of my juniors is pursuing his BTech from IIT Bhilai. Some of the important details about the institute are discussed below according to his experience at the institute. 

Campus:

• It shares the GEC Raipur campus. As GEC Raipur is a government based engineering college, the campus is good enough to accommodate 3 more colleges at the same time.
• In comparison to other IITs, the campus is quite small in size.
• The main campus will probably start in the next 5 years.

Academics:

• You may think that a new IIT may not have much good quality of academics but the fact is that the level of faculties appointed is the same for all IIT’s.
• In the case of newer ones, you are at an advantage since the class-strength is lower. It is easy to interact with the teachers and understand the topics taught in class. 
• Moreover, the institute set up the labs at a good pace, so that the academics won’t lag behind. 

Cultural Activities & Events:

• The college had recently organized its first tech event in 2017, named ‘TECHMAITRY’. In the same year, IIT Bhilai also had its first cultural cum tech fest.
• Besides this, there are good clubs and their activities take place such as Dance Club, Music Club, Orators Club, etc.

Sports & Games:

• Proceeding further towards sports & games, the institute is getting a large number of participants in upcoming years.
• The college participated in Inter-IIT sports meets for games like badminton, volleyball, table tennis, and athletics over the years.
• Recently, the college also had basketball, football, and cricket matches and similarly, it will add more in forthcoming years.

For further details regarding the clubs, labs, etc. you may ask your seniors, they will be able to guide you in a better way.
