Yes, IIT Bhubaneswar will provide you with one of the best laboratories and staff in India for the Mechanical Engineering Course. The college has been constantly working to improve its staff and laboratories since its establishment in 2008. IIT Bhubaneswar has seven schools working under its Guidance: School of Basic Sciences, School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences, School of Electrical Sciences, School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Management, School of Infrastructure, School of Mechanical Sciences and School of Minerals, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. You’ll find separate well-equipped laboratories for each of these schools which facilitate students with good practical exposure. There are laboratories with 30 workstations served by an 18 blade server in the school of Mechanical Engineering. The list of major labs that will help you in the mechanical engineering course are as follows:

• Material Testing Laboratory
• Machine & Mechanism Laboratory
• CAD/CAM/CAE Laboratory
• Machine Tools & Machining Laboratory
• CWF Laboratory
• Advanced Product Development Laboratory
• Sense & Process Laboratory
• Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory
• Heat Transfer Laboratory
• Artificial Intelligence and Mechatronics Laboratory
• IC Engine Laboratory
• Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
• Micro & Nanoscale Transport Phenomena Laboratory
• Applied -Thermofluid Laboratory
• Instrumentation Laboratory
• Metrology Laboratory

Apart from laboratories, you will also have the support of well-qualified faculties which will not only help you in understanding your course curriculum but also will guide you in your future career. The school of mechanical science employs more than 200 staff. You can visit the official website and easily access the details of all the staff members. The faculties are very friendly with students and are also involved in basic research in their own areas of specialization. However, I believe that it’s the student and his effort which makes him draw maximum benefit and knowledge from the faculties. As the institute provides you with a blend of the best theoretical and practical learning experience, so I’ll recommend you to work hard during the duration of your course.

The classrooms at IIT BHU are good in terms of sitting capacity and ambiance. There are three Lecture Hall Complexes at IIT BHU and each of them has 9 classrooms. Each classroom has a sitting capacity of 150 – 200 students and each classroom is technically equipped with projectors, screens, and speakers. All the lectures for the first-year students take place in the lecture hall complexes. The only demerit is that these classrooms do not have air conditioners installed, but the good part is that the classrooms are well ventilated so in the summer season too the room temperature does not go too high.

The classrooms in the ABLT complex do have air conditioners installed and the infrastructure of the complex is also very nice. Mostly guest lectures are held in the ABLT complex.

Each department at IIT BHU also has its own classrooms in which classes of the second year and onwards takes place. These classrooms are also spacious and all of them are technically equipped with projectors and speakers and can accommodate a maximum of around 50 students.

IIT Bhubaneswar is transferred to its permanent campus sometimes back. Most of the laboratory facilities for the UnderGraduate (UG) Programme are efficiently equipped as well as fully functional by now. Every school has its own laboratories that they can access.

If we talk about the Sports facilities, they are yet in a developing stage which is rather disappointing for many of the students. Apart from these facilities, other functional facilities include a gym, volleyball court, basketball court, and badminton court (both in Mahanadi [B] and Subarnarekha [G] hostels). Although, there are also temporary grounds for football, cricket, and athletics. 

For all the non-functional facilities, the college is taking measures to make them functional soon so that the students can engage in extracurricular activities along with academics.

IIT Bhubaneswar being a new IIT has good laboratory facilities. All the engineering branches and basic science departments are equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories. 

The Department of Civil Engineering, School of Infrastructure has eight laboratories equipped with modern facilities to support teaching and to carry research works in any specialization of Civil Engineering. Computational lab, Concrete lab, Environmental lab, Geotechnical lab, Structural lab, Surveying Lab, Transportation lab, Water Resources lab are the laboratories in the Civil engineering department. Apart from the central computational facility, the school has an advanced computational laboratory too. School of Mechanical Sciences has well-equipped laboratories along with a high-end computational laboratory with 30 workstations served by an 18 blade server. The School of Electrical Sciences has full-fledged laboratories to train the students from the very basics to modern trends in the field of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Communication and Computer Science Engineering. The students utilize all lab equipment to carry out the design and testing of projects. At present, there are 33 laboratories at this school. School of Minerals, Metallurgical, and Materials Engineering have 8 laboratories for academic and research works. School of Basic Sciences has more than 20 laboratories for different subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and their specializations. 

The ICLDB Laboratory at School of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Management in IIT Bhubaneswar provide access to state-of-the-art technology and updated databases for research and teaching in Economics. Currently there are 10 computers. Many of the systems are well equipped with statistical software such as SPSS, STATA, EViews, Limdep, etc. 

There is also a Language Laboratory fitted with multimedia and learning content that is ideal for engineering students. The software, content and module for the classroom are based on the Video-Auditory-Reading-Writing-Kinesthetic (VARK) model that enables non-speakers of English to practice and get better.
