Eight IITs were started in year 2008 namely, Hyderabad, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Ropar, Patna, Mandi, Gandhinagar, and Jodhpur. All of them now have shifted to their permanent campuses. As their NIRF Rankings tells a lot about their relative growth they have done, in academics ( by starting new courses viz- IITH started B Tech in MnC and B Tech in AI, IITRPR started MnC and various 5 year Btech/Mtech, IIT Mandi started B Tech Data Sc and Engg Phy, Bio Engg dual. Similarly IIT BBS has also amazingly improved its academics so its ranking also ) , research, Faculties strength, infrastructure , student intake, average CTC placement package .
I am bit surprised to know that despite being started with same rule and regulations, similar budget, similar open sky opportunities, what made some new IITs perform excellence as per the image of IITs , while few others are still struggling to recruit sufficient number of faculties to run a course even.( can some one imagine that an IIT is running a department with only 5 to 6 regular faculties : OMG), and starting new innovative courses like AI, ML, Data Sc, MnC ,Economics, Bio engg etc.and increase student intake. Patna and BBS has really done well in recent couple of years. I still hope that someday others will also go in line with IIT Hyderabad which has set a Yard stick for others.
