The government has decided to establish four new IITs and six IIMs in various states besides upgrading some of the state universities to the status of central universities. While the new IITs would be located in Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Punjab, the IIMs would come up in Tamil Nadu, JandK, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand and Haryana. For this state governments had to offer adequate land at suitable locations and at free of cost with infrastructure and connectivity.
